Screening tests for upper C-spine instability and vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency (VBI)
•
Assessment of cervical spine dysfunctions associated with muscle imbalance
•
Cervicogenic Headache (CGH): arthrogenic and myogenic sources
•
Application of MET techniques: managing head and neck misalignment, neck pain and stiffness, and headache-dizziness-nausea caused by C-spine articular dysfunctions and muscle imbalance
•
Integration of cervical-ocular reflexes and respiratory mechanics into MET interventions for enhanced therapeutic outcomes
•
Clinical decision-making strategies for selecting optimal MET parameters and ensuring patient safety in cervical interventions

•
An overview of clinical biomechanics and chain reactions in the thoracic spine and rib cage
•
Thoracic spine and rib cage dysfunctions: mechanisms for articular derangements and muscle imbalances contributing to pain, MVT impairment, and breathing difficulties
•
Assessment of thoracic spine dysfunctions: diagnosing Neutral and Non-neutral Vertebral dysfunctions through palpation and MVT testing
•
Assessment of Rib dysfunctions: diagnosing inhalation and exhalation rib dysfunctions through palpation at 3 stages of breathing (quiet breathing, deep inhalation, deep exhalation)
•
Utilization of MET: managing thoracic pain and stiffness, correcting spinal alignment (including kyphosis and scoliosis), restoring spinal mobility, and enhancing respiratory function
•
Incorporation of inhalation and exhalation techniques to facilitate the 3-D release of myofascial restrictive barriers in the thoracic region, normalizing the affected T-spine and ribs mechanics
•
Consideration of precautions and contraindications in selecting appropriate MET parameters for thoracic interventions

•
An overview of clinical biomechanics and pathomechanics of L-spine and pelvic girdle, lumbopelvic chain reactions, and mechanisms for articular derangements and MVT restrictions
•
Assessment of L-spine dysfunctions: Diagnosing Neutral and Non-neutral vertebral dysfunctions
•
Assessment of pelvic girdle dysfunctions: Diagnosing sacroiliac, iliosacral, and symphysis pubis dysfunctions through palpation and MVT testing, and in association with muscle imbalance
•
Implementation of MET interventions: Restoring lumbopelvic pain-free mobility, and optimizing gait mechanics
•
Emphasis on the role of respiratory mechanics in releasing myofascial restrictive barriers in the lumbar and pelvic regions
•
Clinical decision-making process in tailoring MET parameters to individual patient presentations and ensuring safety and efficacy in lumbar and pelvic interventions
