The Theory of Synergetic Spinal Mechanics and PPT Manipulation
Press release
There have been no major advances in our understanding of how the sacroiliac and spinal joints articulate and lock for countless decades. That is until now! I have made some really exciting and groundbreaking discoveries that will be of enormous benefit to Osteopaths and other related professions.
Over the last four years I have been enthusiastically working on ways to predict and demonstrate how vertebral articulation compliments the real world movement’s humans take for granted.
Did you know for example that the way the sacroiliac and vertebral joints articulate is self contained and independent of muscles? Spinal muscles believe it or not play the parallel role of counter balance.
I started my investigations by examining the facet shapes of the sacroiliac joints, the joints that have confounded every scientist who has tried to make sense of their irregular contours. But like a simple Chinese puzzle I solved the conundrum. The answer is so simple the reader will rub their chins and say ‘why didn’t I think of that’. From this I was able to convincingly demonstrate how the pelvic and lumbar joints accommodate the action of walking, not only forwards but backwards!
That was just the beginning; in my original book I introduced a complete collection of dynamic theories that demonstrate how the sacroiliac and all of the vertebral joints integrate and work in harmony. This is something that had never been done before. I was also able to demonstrate what would happen if the forces that cause joints to articulate became misdirected. This resulted in a very plausible explanation for how joints lock on each other and how some become so tight that they cause changes to the local chemistry. From this I was able to calculate how these locked joints form the two distinct patterns of posture dysfunction that we see every day in our fellow man.
My work did not stop at this though. With my knowledge of the forces that cause joints to lock, I was able discover a totally new protocol in manipulation that simply reverses these forces. In working out the new protocol I took the opportunity to make the techniques as patient friendly as possible. The result was set of genuine, silent techniques that are painless and swift. From the patient’s point of view all they have to do is relax on their stomachs. Best of all, the trauma footprint left behind is minimal. This means that more joints can be manipulated per session and creates the potential to achieve outstanding results in a single session.
Edition 2 of my unique fully illustrated colour book is set to raise the bar yet
again. Over the last year I have been beavering away working out how the breathing

The book is written in a way that a first year student can understand, though as the complexity builds it will have professors in the subject eagerly turning over the next page.
