I can not tell you how deeply I appreciate these videos! I've practiced OMT very little in the past 8 yrs due to a body injury. Now because of you, I've been able to solidify what was once SO difficult to understand! I trained for 4 years, strictly Manual Osteopathy, and was fortunate enough to have an MET course with the late Dr. Fred Mitchell. I will always remember how difficult it was for me to internalize these mechanics! On a practical day, I was nearly in tears, distressed, and working on the C-spine. Dr. Mitchell happened to walk behind me right as I said "omg, this is SO miserable!" Dr. Mitchell put his hand on my shoulder and said "Oh no now...this is supposed to be fun!" It took a few years to become fun LOL! THANK you Dr. Gibbons for making it fun again!
You are amazing,i just watched first few minutes of the video and i could understand more than after months of my manual therapy classes, simplicity is the key
One of the best osteopath... thanks for educating through your lectures and practical examination... I learnt alot from your theory. Plz do share more effective manipulations, release nurve comprations specially L4, L5, secrum, how to cure disc bulging in lumber and t1 and t2
Hi Thanks for sharing this. I have one question ? How much and how you take care about the patient s pain feeling when you do this evaluation ? do u use it for the evaluation/diagnose/treatment ? thanks a lot
The assessment is naturally governed by how much discomfort the patient is in - if you do the movements passively then sometimes the patient feels less pain, regards JG
Any way this could be compared to the Gonstead Listing system from Chiropractic? It seems like this technique is more reliable from practitioner to practitioner and includes a flextion evaluation that Chiropractors typically do not.
Thanks john , your videos advance our knowledge and practice . Can you tell us spine mechanics in scoliosis? And also some say that lower cervical and thoracic follow type 2 mechanics and upper cervical and lumber follow type 1 mechanics .is it true or fryettt's low is more applicaple?
Spinal mechanics in scoliosis is Type 1 so the side bending and rotation is to the opposite side and a Neutral group dysfunction. All cervical below C2 follow Type 2 then changes at T1 to Type 1 and Type 2 depending on position. regards jG
Hi John. I am a PT. Can you help me with this Question- C 6 C7 pain and restriction in extension on left due to hypermobility of- 1. Left facet cephalic glide 2. Right facet cephalic glide 3. Right facet caudal glide 4. Left facet caudal glide
Hi Shipra, thanks for message and if honest doesn't make that much sense to me: The 1-4 in the sequence is a treatment protocol if you are adding in Gliding motions of the facets, if you have hyper mobility I would personally leave that segment alone and look for the hypo mobile segment which is typically above or below the levels of C4-C7 unless spondylosis is present or some other spinal pathology, regards JG
Its a build up of extra fatty adipose tissue and can be caused by many reasons, posture can be related so change the posture then the dowagers over time might reduce. regards JG
Can the ERS and FRS or the type 1 & type 2 mechanics use to explain in the scoliosis? ( I have watch all of your video this spinal mechanics channel and try my best to understand) Make me to study more.. drooling.. lol.. "spinal engine"
Aren't Fryet's laws not actual anymore? When you treat a patient do you think about all of these biomechanical settings or is it enough to search for a posterity / anteriority most of the time ?
I like the concept of spinal mechanics and works for me very well in clinic, Osteopaths still learn these in some schools. You need to learn a method - whether it's an old school method or not as still has validity and then once learnt you can adapt these. Most manipulators I have met dont understand anything related to spinal mechanics because they are not taught anything and they simply adjust the spine without understanding the dysfunctions, regards JG

Still rewatching your videos and finding I need to keep up with my anatomical understanding. Great to watch to remember what we learned in school.
Excellent!

Hi
Thanks for sharing this.
I have one question ?
How much and how you take care about the patient s pain feeling when you do this evaluation ?
do u use it for the evaluation/diagnose/treatment ?
thanks a lot
The assessment is naturally governed by how much discomfort the patient is in - if you do the movements passively then sometimes the patient feels less pain, regards JG
Great video. Can you do a video on potential tinnitus caused by cervical instability?
Great suggestion! Regards JG
Thank You Sir John♥️
Thanks, regards JG

I know of Gonstead but not trained as I am an Osteopath so hard to comment, regards JG
Great video.

This was great! does this protocol applies for other thoracic vertebrae?
It does indeed, regards JG
Hi John. I am a PT. Can you help me with this Question-
C 6 C7 pain and restriction in extension on left due to hypermobility of-
1. Left facet cephalic glide 2. Right facet cephalic glide 3. Right facet caudal glide 4. Left facet caudal glide

@@JohnGibbons thanks John. I was confused too when I saw this Question while preparing for my Ortho exam!
Could you please explain what dowers hump is and how to get rid of it.
Its a build up of extra fatty adipose tissue and can be caused by many reasons, posture can be related so change the posture then the dowagers over time might reduce. regards JG
جميل جدا اتمنى لك النجاح ونرجو المزيد مما تقدمه للمتابع
Can't thank you enough but God bless you

You are welcome! JG
Thank you very much
You are welcome, regards JG
Thanks John. Watching your videos makes me want to go back to school. Lol
Thanks, regards JG

Scoliosis is only neutral type 1 group dysfunction as the side being is in one direction and the rotation is to the opposite side. regards JG

it is really difficult topic
I hope so that you will make something else about Spine mobs
I have lots of videos about this subject, regards JG
Great
