3 Powerful Nerves

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

In this episode, I share why I believe these 3 nerves are so powerful to target for manual therapy, nerve glides, or movement drills. The 3 nerves are the trigeminal nerve, the accessory nerve, and the obturator nerve.
I break down the connections to the fascial containers of our axial skeleton and the role they play in viscera and neural influences on the body, why they are easy to target, and why spinal articulation can also be a powerful tool to combine with these nerve glides and targeted treatment.
During this episode, I also share about recently learning that the pelvic splanchnic nerves, which have been classified as parasympathetic for decades, in fact, are not! So what does this mean for us and our understanding of the ANS? Listen to hear my thoughts on it.
