Full Lesson Notes
Complete Practice
Lie supine, arms abducted to roughly forty-five degrees, and oscillate both arms simultaneously in tiny internal-external rotations of the humerus at the same rate. Phase-lock them deliberately, then break the lock by deliberately rotating one arm at half the rate of the other. Locate the node in the upper back: the vertebral level that stays motionless while everything above and below it moves. Where the node sits tells you where the chain is rigid, not where it is supple. Challenge: The node in a heavily damped body may be a smeared region rather than a sharp vertebral level, blurring the rigidity diagnosis.
