Abdomen – cramping

Abdominal Cramp

EP6, page 17

For severe abdominal cramp use:

  • Psoas (Navel) Point (Module 1/2, page 14)

On the same side as necessary with:

  • SI Joint Point (EP3, page 6) for centralised cramp
  • Ischium Point (EP1, page 11) for lower abdominal cramp

For cramp/tension with possible emotional cause use:

  • Rhomboid 45 (Module 1/2, page 19)

On the same side or as a crossover as necessary with:

  • Diaphragm Point (Module 3, page 11) for cramping/tension below the ribcage
  • Psoas (Navel) Point (Module 1/2, page 14) for centralised cramp/tension

Abdomen – pain 20 minutes after eating

Oesophageal Release

EP1, page 8

Suggested Oesophagus Release Sequence:

  1. Check the Abdominals are released (Module 4, page 5)
  2. Check 12th Rib/Psoas is released (Module 1/2, page 14))
  3. Perform Rescue 3 times (Module 3, page 12), substituting the Oesophagus Release (EP1, page 8) for the Sternohyoid (throat) move (Module 3, page 12)

Abdomen – pain (deep)

Sacral Notch Combinations

Module 6, page 8

  • Combine Sacral Notch Point with Lower Abdominal Point (Module 6, page 8) for lower abdominal pain
  • Combine Sacral Notch Point with Adductor Point (Module 6, page 6) for deep inner thigh pain
  • Combine Sacral Notch Point with Inguinal Psoas Point (Module 3, page 5) for deep groin pain
  • Combine Sacral Notch Point with Iliacus Point (Modules 1/2, page 13) for deep hip and pelvic floor pain

Achilles – inflammation, tightness, deep pain

Inflammation, tightness, deep pain in tendon or just up from Achilles heel/junction where foot pad has slid towards toes and wearing shoes is painful. Also from driving a car for long periods or walking in flip flops

Achilles Pain Point/Popliteal Point

EP2, page 11

An alternative combination is the Achilles Pain Point (EP2, page 11) with the Patella Point (Module 5, page 10))

Agitation – erratic, shaking

Spinal Tap

EP3, page 12

Conception Balance

EP3, page 13

  • Chest (Module 5, page 9)

ASIS – deep pain

Deep Pain around the ASIS

EP6, page 11

Combine the ASIS Point with the following to determine where the irritation is coming from:

  • Mid ITB Point

Module 3, page 9

  • Sartorius Point

Module 3, page 9

Module5, page 11

  • Patella Point

Module 5, page 10

  • SI Joint

EP3, page 6

Back

Summary and Additional Back Crossovers (EP 6, page 16) – very helpful for spinal curvature, scoliosis, twist in the hips and shoulders

For tight and uneven shoulder height, pain or restriction at trapezius / latissimus dorsi overlap (EP2, page 7):

  • Levator Scapula (Modules 1&2, page 22) X Inferior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9)

For tightness and cramp in the hips, restricted lateral flexion and / or rotation; difficulty reaching across the body when bending forward (EP3, page 8):

  • Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Piriformis (Module 5, page 14)

For upper back cramp and upper back pain; unable to straighten up and lack of movement in lifting arms; difficulty taking a deep breath, mid-back restriction and rib tightness (EP3, page 9):

  • Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Lats-Traps (EP3, page 9)

EP 4 Combinations to allow access to address pain, where pain radiates outwards from a central area, contributing to restricted flexion and rotation and lower back compression:

  • QL Point (Modules 1&2, page 11)
  • Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9)
  • Levator Scapula (Modules 1&2, page 22)
  • SI Joint (EP3, page 6)

Use crossovers below as indicated

Where pain radiates centrally around the QL area:

  • Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X QL (Modules 1&2, page 11)

Where pain radiates down into the sacral area:

  • Lat dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X SI Joint (EP3, page 6)

Where pain radiates up into the upper back:

  • Lev Scap (Modules 1&2, page 22) X SI Joint (EP3, page 6)

The following is also found in EP 6, page 16).  It is a long back crossover to stretch out between the points; to release tension along the TFL, to take pressure off the SI Joint; to take pressure off the shoulders. This is also good prep for SI Joint releases (EP5, page 6):

  • Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Mid ITB Point (Module 3, page 8)

  • 12th Rib / Psoas (Modules 1&2, page 14)
  • Bladder (Module 6, page 7)

Bladder – correction (Pelvic Care course)

Possible indications:

Always check Spinal Balance before commencement. If Spinal Balance is needed proceed with Gracilis and Adductor Magnus (Emmett finger in direction towards ear) and no more.

When Spinal Balance is not necessary, use the following suggested treatment:

If desired result is achieved, do NOT repeat Bladder move (Module 6) as it may undo previous result.

Bowel – correction (Pelvic Care course)

Possible indications:

Always check Spinal Balance (EP1, pages 6&7) before commencement.  If Spinal Balance is needed, proceed with Gracilis (EP5, page 8) and Adductor Magnus (EP3, page 7 with Emmett finger back towards sacrum) and no more.  With Spinal Balance, perform sacrum moves 3 x each side, pulling up on alternating sides.

When Spinal Balance is not necessary, use the following suggested treatment:

This would be repeated in 2 days and again in 5 days for best results.

Coccyx pain – correction (Pelvic Care course)

Perform standing for severe pain. Can be performed supine.

Sacral Apex Point – place EF tip at the apex of the sacrum (sacrococcygeal junction) and direct light pressure towards the pubic bone.

Pubis Point – place the EF 1 finger width down from the top of the pubic bone in the midline and light pressure is directed straight in.

Apply equal pressure to both points simultaneously for up to 20 seconds. Repeat up to 3 times if necessary.
