Facilitated Positional Release
what are the land marks for diagnosis of sacrum
ILA, sacral base.
What is the first T in TART?

What is the R in TART?
Restriction of motion
What was so unique for the Osteopathic schools that beyond the philosophies led people to call Still a visionary?

What is the best way to get better at OMT?
Practice
Define Thrust
force for HVLA, short quick pressure given when all tissues in all planes with all barriers engaged.
5 models of osteopathic care
structural model, respiratory circulatory model, metabolic model, neurologic model, behavioral model
