Sir, You're blessed with not just exquisite technical skills, but also excellent communication and a perfect approach to the patient. Thank You for sharing!
John you have the very very best videos available. Amazing educational tools I personally feel really fortunate and lucky to have access to for my studies - thanks John.
MT here and I always begin my sessions with myofascial mobilisation through the sheet, and this demonstration takes it to a new level of manipulation. Great video, much thanks.
Hi! sir i have a question in bout in first techinique about turning the hands while pushing down ,is the left also turning ? i only saw that that right hand only turning or the the two hands turning both turning?
In the last manipulation why you stand behind the patient? The line of joints is going in different direction so isn`t that a compression of joints? Im refering to Mulligan where mobilisation is in sitting and direction is to "eyes".
No my friend in the mulligan concept only the cervical joints have direction to the eyes. In thoracic joints the direction are total straight and as you go down getting to lumbar joints... See a body skeleton!!! Mr Gibbons is doing well!
Thank you sir for your wonderful healing techniques and may God Almighty richly bless you to help many others. Highly respect from China and New Zealand.
Typically a High Velocity Thrust (HVT) is a common term osteopaths use - Chiropractors typically call them an Adjustment and Phsiotherapists call a manipulation a Grade 5 technique - basically all the same apart from the terminology - regards JG
Hi there! Osteopathic student right now and just curious, but is it not necessary to get a diagnosis of these vertebra prior to treatment with springing/thrusting techniques like HVLA? I'm just wondering if it's safe and fine to do these techniques without being very specific about diagnosis and the levels we're at. thanks!
You can vary the techniques so you mobilise the rib cage rather than manipulate - if you are an osteopathic student you will be shown these and the tutor will probably use my videos to teach you - regards JG
If the patient have pain just in one side, should I do the technique just in that side or both side, and how can I decide the direction of rotation for the technique??
Hi sir. Your video is really impressive. I have a question. My back upper ribs are paining and sometimes it becomes difficult for me to take turn during sleep. Would your techniques be helpful to get rid of my pain? Please answer sir.
Great video! I just have a question: in the first mobilisation, do you place your hands close to the spinous process ( over the vertebral lateral process) or are them on the ribs? Same for the tird mobilisation. I couldn't understand weel. Thanks, your video and inspirations are super top!!
@@JohnGibbons thank you! Super professional, ready to answer and spread knowledge. I hope one day to be able to follow one of your course. Regards, M. Ferrari.
I really addicted to watch that kind of Posterior Thoracic Thrust Manipulation. May I ask? Aside from double thenar and cross-handed pisiform contact, can you use Hand contact with fingers interlocked, (similar to CPR Hand Placement for chest compressions), to adjust the thoracic spine?
Excellent teachings, I find my self tuning in to your videos (morso than others) because of the details you provide. One question: Are there applications where the direction of rotation (and thus hand placement) would directly correlate to the direction of subluxation of a particular vertebrae? If so, I would love to see a video explaining how that works and how to identify the directions the vertebrae need to go. My understanding now is a twist in either direction aligns subluxations no matter the direction of the subluxation, is that correct, or are there applications where the directions matter?
John, I am suffering from my rib cage lifts , due to wrong setting for neck traction last year ( 39 p, 0 degree) , I feel pop up near neck on left side. and chest painful at that night , now I saw a few Chiropractors do not work and move back my rib cage to original position, I have breathing difficuty , How can you fix it.. Thanks.
What can be done of lower thoracic vertebra is forced forward and can’t flex forward, forcing ribs forward and up and upper lumbar spine is forced out so tight won’t release. No position bearable because effecting both lower and upper body. Seen various ppl. Nobody can release it. Any suggestions gratefully received.
I need this done so badly with so many misalignment problems that physios just wanted to palm me off to neurologists for, and without properly assessing anything, but I’M SCARED.
Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching . Is it allowed to preform these techniques on T11 T12 area as well? (The difference on the angle of fhe facet joint...).is this possible to use the same technique on the 1 rib as well?thanks in advance for your answer.
Hey John, do you find these better then dogs? or is there any reason you would use a dog over these (apart from the fact they can't lie prone for whatever reason)? and what about 1 and 2nd ribs? TIA for taking time out from the Aston :)
At last someone concentrating on the area where I am in so much pain! Can I ask is there a cure for this particular part of the body or is it going to be endless trips to the chiropractors for life? I say this because my husband has a chiropractor who manipulates his lower back for 20mins, he feels ok for a few days then it starts back up! Thank you
Hard to say without looking at your husband, manipulating the spine is great but needs to have other modalities - exercises, soft tissue techniques - diet advice etc, etc regards JG
John, love your videos, very educational. I'm a PT and sometimes utilize the mobilization techniques for my patients. I have a question regarding the last approach you have shown. I was taught that because of the direction of the spinal processes in the thoracic spine (kind of like shingles on the roof), it's better to approach from the other direction - standing at the hips and applying force towards the head/ mat. Could you comment. Thank you
Thank you for this video. I have a question: 3 months ago I went to see an Osteopath who did manipulation on my upper lumbar spine and ever since that session, I'm unable to sleep. The minute my body drifts to sleep, my heart would start racing and I end up waking up. I hardly get to sleep as a result. Is this a normal response to the treatment? Is this something that can be reversed?According to the Osteopath, she worked on the area that has an important influence on the respiratory diaphragm to which the heart is connected. .She said had increasing the motion of my diaphragm and upper lumbar spine which would have had an influence on any soft tissue pulling on the connective tissues surrounding my heart!
Thanks for the message and I doubt if the Osteopath caused the problem you are experiencing. I have seen thousands of patents and I perform the manipulation to the lumbar spine and never have caused those symptoms. Maybe see a Doctor and see what they suggest, regards JG
Thank you Sir for the wonderfully explained videos.....keep going sir ...God bless you and gives you more wisdom as you are sharing your knowledge to others
@@JohnGibbons how to reach u Dr ? IM SUFFERING with my left shoulder, my mid Back pain through to my chest and make me hard to breath ( i got all of this pain from wrong chiropractor). And now i am under meds because almost every week to ER. Im from Texas area. Thankyou

hi John, what is the difference between HVT and chiropractic?
Typically a High Velocity Thrust (HVT) is a common term osteopaths use - Chiropractors typically call them an Adjustment and Phsiotherapists call a manipulation a Grade 5 technique - basically all the same apart from the terminology - regards JG
@@JohnGibbons interesting thanks for letting me know
Any tips on torque manipulation from the plexus side? Twisted ribcage.
Not sure if i understand the question, regards JG
Any tx you would reccomend for rib flare?
Hard to explain on text - see an osteopath or chiro where you live, regards JG
Have you ever heard of an injured rib or costochondral joint from the thrust technique?
Probably - this technique is good but only trained professionals should do it as can cause a problem, regards JG
U are very good
Thanks, regards JG
Very helpful 👍

How would you manipulate the T1-T2 with pain and stiffness on the right side?
I have a video for that area, regards jG
If the patient have pain just in one side, should I do the technique just in that side or both side, and how can I decide the direction of rotation for the technique??
It is best to attend a course as they will explain the technique as difficult to explain via a text, regards JG
Omg i love u and i love ur videos very helpful ,Good luck💕
Thanks for the comments and pleased you like my videos, regards JG
Hi sir. Your video is really impressive. I have a question. My back upper ribs are paining and sometimes it becomes difficult for me to take turn during sleep. Would your techniques be helpful to get rid of my pain? Please answer sir.
Thanks for the message and they might help as long as someone is skilled in the techniques, regards JG
Great video!
I just have a question: in the first mobilisation, do you place your hands close to the spinous process ( over the vertebral lateral process) or are them on the ribs? Same for the tird mobilisation.
I couldn't understand weel.
Thanks, your video and inspirations are super top!!
On the ribs as trying to mobilise the costo-transverse joints, regards jG
@@JohnGibbons thank you! Super professional, ready to answer and spread knowledge. I hope one day to be able to follow one of your course. Regards, M. Ferrari.
So would this help with a rotated rib cage due to rotated vertebraes? I’m having a lot of shoulder and breathing pain all over my body
Try and see someone like me where you live as sure they can help, regards JG
Nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers! Regards jG
I really addicted to watch that kind of Posterior Thoracic Thrust Manipulation. May I ask? Aside from double thenar and cross-handed pisiform contact, can you use Hand contact with fingers interlocked, (similar to CPR Hand Placement for chest compressions), to adjust the thoracic spine?
Not sure if I have tried that technique but sounds like it could work though, I might try it myself, regards JG
i interested to learn spinal manipulation online, did you do online? fee?
Face to face only with me for spinal manipulation, my colleagues at OMT offer an online course, google it, regards JG
Exllent sir my pleasure waching this

Thanks.
does speed of adjustment make a diff? i have felt like slow motion feels better and gets more release
Yes the speed is very important as otherwise would simply be a mobilisation and not a manipulation, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons wow guess i need mobilization than
Very useful sir

Where do I go to get treatment like this or even start to look!?
Search for an osteopath or chiropractor where you live, regards JG

Lower thoracic maybe but not the first 3 ribs as the technique I use is different, regards JG
Hey John, do you find these better then dogs? or is there any reason you would use a dog over these (apart from the fact they can't lie prone for whatever reason)? and what about 1 and 2nd ribs? TIA for taking time out from the Aston :)
This is more for the ribs and the 'dog' is better for the thoracic spine, I think i have a video for the upper ribs, regards JG
Very nice vedio sir
