A tip you may consider when working with the neck is to guide the patient to put the attention on their lower extremities like "wiggle your left toe". This can be a huge help for the patient and dissolve that precursory anxiety before a big surprise motion.
Hello, thanks for sharing this technique. I’m wondering if there’s muscle tightness over the cervical area, would you release the muscle tension before doing manipulation?

you could use muscle energy technique when you're in lock out position to reduce tightness
Which research paper do you use that talks about manipulations being effective. Thank you.
