John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is discussing how to manipulate the cervical dorsal junction (CDJ) or the cervical thoracic junction (CTJ). Some of these techniques can be taught but only to skilled therapists and manipulations plus more is taught on the Spinal course at Core Elements in swindon. The technique demonstrated is called a thoracic thrust or an AP thrust.

[@Marioarchangel]

Professor John, is it safe (theoreticaly) to apply this technic to a patient with PEEK cage on c5-c6 (with more then 1year)?

[@JohnGibbons]

It is fine because you dont use the neck as a lever so if it is done the way i show it wont cause an issue, regards JG

[@Marioarchangel]

@@JohnGibbons thank you, for your words and time

[@clacicle]

Prior to this technique or almost any kind of cavitation, would you perform some kind of massage or manual therapy to loosen up the muscles?

[@JohnGibbons]

Of course - regards JG

[@cooltoseewellness]

Is there any other alternative way to perform the same result?

[@JohnGibbons]

I show a prone CTJ adjustment video so watch that one, regards JG

[@anthonycardona64]

Any alternatives when clients are bigger than myself? Most of them are considering my small frame! 😢

[@JohnGibbons]

I show a prone technique as that works well, regards JG

Can this also be done with a pillow between your chest the patient? I think I saw another one of your videos where you did that.

[@JohnGibbons]

You can try, I use a towel for the mid thoracic as specifies the segment, regards JG

[@clacicle]
