OMM Hour 11 Wed August 27 1-2 pm Dr. Russell Gamber Kate Gadberry Page 2 of 2 Step 2: Treats the Occipital Sinus Spread your middle fingers apart, parallel to each other (no longer overlapping) and move 1 finger width down the midline of the occiput towards the neck. This way you can monitor each side for tightness or hardness difference. Step 3- Occipital Decompression Move your middle fingers down to the area of the occipital condyles. Slowly approximate the elbows, which will spread the fingers apart. Hold this until the condyles soften. Step 4- Treats the Transverse Sinus Bring finger tips up to superior nuchal line. All 8 fingers should be along the nuchal line with the thumbs resting one on top of the other on the sagittal sinus. Rest the head on your fingertips. Hold until you feel the softening. Once again, discriminate left and right and each finger- feel for the differences. Step 5- Treats Superior Sagittal Sinus Beginning at the external occipital protuberance, cross thumbs over to contact on each side of the sagittal suture. Apply slight pressure to the thumbs to separate the sagittal suture. Hold each point, moving along the suture to the bregma, until you feel a softening. This is similar to the disengagement mechanism taught last week, but will go from lambda all the way up to the nasion. This will take a couple of minutes as you continue along each spot anteriorly. Step 5 Part 2- Treats Superior Sagittal Sinus Place the fingertips of each hand along the metopic suture (suture of the frontal bones) from the bregma to the nasion. Apply light pressure to the frontal bone and separate the suture. Hold until you feel a softening. Again, ask yourself, is there a difference underneath any of the fingers? We ended this by returning to the classic vault hold and palpated for rate, rhythm, amplitude and symmetry. Dr. Gamber notes for the exam we need make sure to know which sinus each step treats and which handhold is for each sinus. http://youtu.be/EIL-IrEBdzI VIDEO YOU TUBE DE LA TECNICA
