How to Manipulate the Cervical Spine (AA) Joint of C1/C2
bodymaster-method.mykajabi.co...
John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is demonstrating how to manipulate with a HVT / Grade 5 technique to the upper part of the cervical spine - the C1/C2 known as the Atlanto-Axial Joint (AA)..
Please note: This technique demonstrated in the video is purely a revision of how to manipulate this area of the cervical spine and is only for appropriately skilled therapists like osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists and should NOT be performed by anybody else.
The Vital Cervical Spine Online Masterclass and is a comprehensive, must-have roadmap from firstly understanding all of the related functional anatomy, through to assessing and subsequently treating the region of the cervical spine. The course text is enriched with anatomical drawings throughout, with detailed explanations which accompany the lessons. The literature is complimented by the associated videos which further explain and expand upon topics such as neurological testing using the patella hammer, common neuropathies, pathologies, and differential diagnoses for pain arising to the cervical spine. It is an indispensable resource for physical therapists and bodyworkers.
Alongside real-life case studies and guidelines for hands-on work with clients and patients, The Vital Cervical Spine Online Masterclass demystifies and succinctly presents everything you need to know to be confident and competent in this area; from how to diagnose specific nerve conditions as a result of disc pathology to understanding how to differentiate motion from C1 & C2 (AA Joint) as compared to the rest of the cervical spine.
The Vital Cervical Spine Masterclass will enable you to:
- Assess the cervical spine nervous system using a patella (reflex) hammer, myotome (muscle) testing and dermatome (sensory) testing
- Determine whether pain in the shoulder, arm or hand is in fact a referral pattern originating from the cervical spine
- Utilise active and passive range of motion tests to determine if the pathology is a muscular or a joint issue
- Decide at what level a cervical disc may have herniated
- Know what to do with the findings of your neurological assessment and the circumstances under which to refer patients for more specialist care

Functional Anatomy of the Cervical Spine
Posture & Position of the Cervical Spine

If Atlas is tilting up and forward on the left ear side with obviously Atlas on right sie more posterior. Will you only need to adjust the Atlas on the left ear side?
Dear john ,great video as usual . With repect to the pre-positioning of the atlanto-axial joint either for manipulation or mobilization in type 1 motion which is side bending to the same and rotation to the opposite , it is quite the same position that is utilised for the lower cervical complex , i.e. C2-C7. How can I definitively differentiate between specifically mobilising or manipulating the lower cervical complex and the AA joint? Many thanks

Its about specificity of your hand placement - regards jG
Great explanation as usual and glad you mentioned protecting the vertebral artery and doing the patency test. For the AA though, it only does a rotation motion and not sidebending. So wouldn't the thrust and Tx position be purely rotational and no sidebending? For ex: you can flex the neck 45 deg to lock out C2-7 then do a purely rotational force?

Bojim se da ne budem smešan, ali moram da pitam: da li je moguće sam sebi namestiti atlas 1. vratni pršljen? Sve to što pokazujete radim sam sebi. Stotine videa sam pogledao i Vi to radite najpreciznije! Zaključio sam da se Atlas pomeri između prvog i drugog pršljena, a ne između glave i prvog pršljena. Zbog toga prvo zabacim glavu što više nazad, zatim sa desne strane pritiskam drugi pršljen i glavu pokrećem prema desnom ramenu (uvo približavam ramenu), a zatim NE POPUŠTAJUĆI pritisam na 2. pršljen - okrećem glavu u osi vertikale prema levo. Tako uspem da vrstim pršljen na mesto, verovali, ili ne, posle toga mi nestane zamućenost vida i boje vidim boje. Problem je u tome, što mi se obično posle spavanja pršljen ponovo pomeri. Kada se izmesti pršljen to osetim čim se probudim, po vidu, po bolu, po tromosti ..

@@marijalagetar416 spektar problema imam, pre svega u glavi, a mislim da svi dolaze zbog poremećenog vratnog dela kičme i to najviše od 1. vratnog pršljena. Vrtoglavice, napade neizdržive vrtoglavice, bolove u vratu, potiljku, vilici, mučnine u stomaku. Uz te snažne napadd vrtoglavice koje traju sve duže, kreće i mučnina, panika .. užas. Najgore od svega je to, što sam neurološki dobro, verovatno zato što preglede kod neurologa prolazim kada većinu gore pomenutih problema nemam, ili se oni svode samo na stalne, svakodnevne i blage vrtoglavice kada mogu skoro normalno da se krećem .. Kakvo je Vaše zdravstveno stanje?

I’m a bit confused as to why you said he’s your friend and not a customer so you won’t hurt him by actually doing this maneuver… that’s a bit disturbing if this was perfectly safe then you should have been able to adjust and conversely if it’s not safe you shouldn’t be doing it…
