Q

Motion palpation

A

Gillet
Full spine segmental
Spinal segments examined manually to localize specific joints and directions of motion that are restricted/fixated/hypomobile
Works to restore motion

16
Q

Nimmo receptor tonus

A

Nimmo
Full spine, extremity of soft-tissue approach
Analyzes and treats the muscle component of subluxation using generally manual treatment directed at “trigger points” and other areas of disturbed muscle fxn

17
Q

“Network” spinal analysis

A

Epstein
Full spine tonal approach
Integration of several diff techniques to achieve end result of “clearing” patient of neural dysfunction

18
Q

BEST (bio energetic synchronization technique)

A

Morter
Tonal approach
Integrates chemical and emotional components with the structural to “clear” the patient of neural dysfunction
An “energy” approach

19
Q

NET (neuro-emotional technique)

A

Walker
Tonal approach
Analysis using muscle testing procedures to ID past or present emotional stress links to persistent structural patterns/subluxations

20
Q

DNFT (directional non-force technique)

A

Van rumpt
Tonal approach
Utilizes leg check and vertebral/muscle challenges to localize subluxations

21
Q

To fitness

A
Toftness
Tonal/segmental approach
