ABSTRACT
Techniques for this region are identical to those for the cervicothoracic junction (see Chapter 65).
The patient is prone.
The patient is positioned in side lying. The examiner faces the patient and grasps the medial scapular edge with the fingertips. The scapula is circumducted slowly, stretching the soft tissues in the different directions while kneading the muscles laterally (Fig. 66.4); inferiorly (Fig. 66.5); and superiorly (Fig. 66.6).
