Lesson Plan

Just because you can live without your spleen doesn’t mean it’s not important. Discover why restriction in spleen motricity (passive motion of an organ during movement) impacts the hips, shoulder, and lower back. No system in the body ever works alone. Never gets injured all alone. Never heals alone. Overlooking organ motion in chronic musculoskeletal pain is a common cause of therapeutic failure. Don’t let that be your client.

3. Palpation assessment
4. Clinical signs of inefficiency
