The Cervical Spine, DVD

New Manual Articular Approach (MAA) is a manual therapy modality that applies a comprehensive approach to the treatment of joints. It integrates all aspects of the joint including the nerve, artery, bone, capsule, and ligaments, as well as visceral and emotional connections. MAA delves into the joints like never before. It examines the nerves of each joint, along with the arteries, meniscus, ligaments, capsule attachments and folds. It incorporates soft tissue mobilization of the associated bones, while looking at direct and indirect relationships between the bones of the body. The relationship between the viscera and the joints is not widely understood. MAA shows how interconnected they are and that without addressing this visceral connection many joint issues may not fully resolve. The application of the gentle MAA techniques improves the body’s ability to heal and restore itself to optimal health. This DVD is about how the manual treatment of the cervical spine continues the project that Jean-Pierre Barral has started in teamwork with Alain Croibier. The intention of this New Manual Articular Approach is to add a new dimension and a series of new techniques to the many manual approaches that already exist. This DVD shows the detailed anatomical explanation and treatment demonstration of:
The skin and dorsal nerves
The various muscles within the suboccipital area
The suboccipital nerve
The brachial plexus
The cervical foramina (related to disk herniation)
The cervical dura mater
The venous plexus surrounding the brachial plexus
