Obstetrics technique practise

Below are my attendance forms to my lectures in obstetrics and osteopathy,

Applying the technique used to assess leg length discrepancy with a patient, 

 the diaphragm release/stretch technique - which can be applied to pregnant women and can be beneficial due to the poor mechanisms of the diaphragm resulting from pregnancy and pressure/restriction produced due to the foetus

 the 8 finger soft tissue technique

 modified posterior SIJ high velocity thrust - as a pregnant woman would not be able to roll on to her front to carry out this technique

 seated soft tissue of the erector spinae muscles - effective and removes the need for the patient to lie prone as the patient would be pregnant and unable to do so

 periscapular muscles soft tissue, using the patients arm to reinforce and direct treatment to specific tissues, muscles and articulation of the shoulder complex
