John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is discussing how to assess the Pectoralis major and minor and the link to thoracic outlet syndrome with the brachial plexus and subclavian artery (TOS). John then teaches you to lengthen these muscles using muscle energy techniques. These are taught on his courses based at the University of Oxford.
John is also the Author of the highly successful book and Amazon No 1 best seller called 'Muscle Energy Techniques, a practical guide for physical therapists'. John has also written 3 more books, one is called 'A Practical Guide to Kinesiology Taping' and comes with a complimentary DVD. The other books are called; 'Vital Glutes, connecting the gait cycle to pain and dysfunction' and 'Functional Anatomy of the Pelvis and SI joint'.
All the books are available to buy now through his website www.johngibbonsbodymaster.co.uk... or from Amazon www.amazon.co.uk
John now offers Advanced Training in all aspects of Sports Medicine to already qualified therapists in manual therapy to 'Diploma' Level. You need to have attended all of his ten individual Therapy Courses before the diploma is awarded. His venue is based at the idylic venue of Oxford University, home of the first four-minute mile by Roger Bannister.
This has been what I've been looking for. I use MET for a/p rotated innominate alignment. These techniques have had very good results for me so far. The patients love the results. Im so glad I found your series on MET. This is exceptional and excellent! Thank you, and I look forward to getting your books. ❤ Blessings

hi john, thank you so much, very instructive!
so if i understand (sorry, i'm not english) during the test for the pec minor, if the shoulder don't get down on the elbow flexion it can be a probleme on the coracobrachialis, after elbow flexion and elevation of the arm, if the shoulder don't go down it's a trouble on the pec minor right?
graet thank for your informative videos ahmed , from Egypt

John you r best

Do you also bring arms at varied degrees of shoulder abduction to test middle/upper fibers of pec major? I’m just curious if overhead tests all the fibers of pec major or is it primarily lower fibers your checking in test you show? Really appreciate this info and planning to take your soft tissue course!
It will always be the sternal fibres of pec major that become shortened - this test will isolate the muscle, the clavicular fibres rarely become an issue - regards JG
for someone with a lax anterior GH capsule/history of anterior dislocation? would you glide the humeral head posteriorly and then stretch the pec major?
yes for sure
I was taught that the arms overhead tests for pec MINOR where you show MAJOR. Could you please provide some insight/clarification and further explanation?
The pec minor doesn't attach to the shoulder joint because it is a shoulder girdle muscle so this test is a shoulder joint test for the pec major - also a shoulder impingement would restrict motion and a thoracic kyphosis. hope that helps, regards. JG
@@JohnGibbons In that test, it is shoulder flexion and upward rotation of the scapula if I am not mistaken. And pec minor is a downward rotator. So wouldn't a tight pec minor limit how much flexion/upward rotation you get? As the shoulder and scapula go hand in hand.
can you do this ,as a self treatment method using bands for example?
It could work and worth a try, regards JG
Brilliant
Thanks, regards JG
Thank you !!!
You're welcome! Regards JG
Couldn't see how you where doing the technique when you started working on the models left side.
Yes you are right as not the best angle to see technique, i do have other videos on here though even though they are not the same quality. Regards JG
Thank you..this has happened over the last 3 years from lifting my husband in and out of his wheelchair and straining to do hard work that he couldn’t do,after he passed, I worked odd jobs to survive and hurt them again. It’s been over a year now and there is still a lot of pain.. I did go to a doctor I was sent in for all kinds of tests and they said there was nothing they could see..the pain begins on the right side of my left breast and ends almost to under my left arm. I have no strength in either of my arms. But I will call my doctor again and insist to him my concern...thank you..I hope someone can figure this out..
Worth watching love from nepal ✔💝
Thanks and hi from oxford - I served with the Gurkha's in Aldershot when I was in the British Army....regards JG
??. If you have torn your pectorialis muscle will there be a lot of pain behind your breast.?
If you have torn the pec muscle then typically you will have bruising present and pain on resisted motion like a bench press or push up, if you only have pain with no trauma then that is not normal so get it checked out. regards JG
