John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author and is demonstrating how to assess and treat the 1st rib that is either elevated, subluxed or inspirated. John shows a muscle energy technique (MET) to encourage the rib to depress. The scalenes tend to be involved in this issue and potentially the patient can have a thoracic outlet syndrome involving the brachial plexus and subcalvian artery and John uses a PIR of met to relax and allow the rib to move inferiorly. These techniques and more is taught on the Cervical Spine Master-Class at the University of Oxford.
