Our

We don’t teach Osteopathic long-lever HVT manipulation.
Why ? The lumbar roll & osteopathic manipulation generally uses too much torsion/rotation which can further traumatize the annulus fibrosis of the Disc and capsular structures .

Example of a modern osteopathic lumbar roll. Nevertheless it’s still a bad technique for Disc problems.

We have much better APBC short-lever lumbar and pelvic techniques, which are safer for the operator and patient. Seen as below Ilio-sacral manipulation. Antertiorising the ilia on sacrum
