Summary
Adjusting shouldn’t hurt – You or the Patient! Adjusting the cervical spine in the seated position, as developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, allows the flexibility to correct spinal mechanical dysfunctions in all three planes: extension, lateral bending and rotation. Dispel the myths of adjusting a patient in “tension” and learn to adjust when both the doctor and patient are relaxed and balanced so your adjustments feel like a “warm knife in butter.” We’ll be introducing an innovative way to learn adjusting beyond set-ups, thru dynamic “exercises” that make adjusting fun!
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this seminar, participants will be better able to:
- understand principles of effortless adjusting, that can be universally applied to their current adjusting technique
- practice, via take-home exercises, speed, balance, and leverage in their adjusting
- adjust the cervical spine P-A, in the seated position, with minimal force using speed and leverage
6 hours unless otherwise indicated.
