Great question. The Therapeutic Wobble Chair, Repetitive Cervical Traction and Thoracic Roll are all part of the pretreatment rehab prior to the decompression traction. Additionally, the patient wobbles, does cervical traction after the decompression therapy. Finally, weighting is typically a post treatment rehab procedure to strengthen involuntary postural muscles.

I am wondering if the wobble chair, RCT, T-roll and weighting should be done prior to decompression traction or the opposite. & Why? Thanks.

Knowing who your ideal patient is and where they hang out is part of any good marketing strategy. In considering your ideal patient you want to hone in further than “anyone with a spine”. Who are your favorite patients and why? What do you like most about them, are there common characteristics that they share and if so what specifically are they? This will help you begin to paint a picture of the message you want to share.

If you specialize in patients who are active in sports, going to where they hang out may be to a gym or training facility. That message would be custom tailored to what’s most important to them, peak performance in their sport.

Taking props with you when presenting is another excellent idea. Take a Wobble Chair with arms for patients to try and see for themselves how it gets things warmed up. Take your PTLMS and use it on a willing audience member. Pettibon Rehabilitation is unique as compared to a traditional chiropractor, talking about it and having things for people to experience can have a lasting impact.

We do have a couple of Tri-fold brochures you may find helpful. They can be found on page 28 of the catalog (http://www.pettibonsystem.com/products/documents/2011PettibonCatalog.pdf).

As for a PowerPoint, in the event that you have taken all the seminars offered through the Pettibon Institute, http://www.pettiboninstitute.org, please send an email request for PPT assistance to info@pettiboninstitute.org. In the email please identify yourself, who the presentation will be made to and for what purpose. If you have not completed all the available classes offered through Pettibon Institute, you will want to do this first before submitting your request. The Institute will want to know that you have learned Pettibon correctly.

Jeff – Great Question! The Pettibon Institute offers training in Pettibon Rehabilitation. It works with all techniques helping patients get better lasting results.

We currently have 3 online courses, Fundamentals, X-ray Procedures and Clinic Protocols/Home Care. Additionally, we are completing a new series of classes that we are most excited about as they include excellent practical application for assessing the patients so that you know exactly how to treat every patient each time they show up. The new courses will be out this summer, so watch http://www.PettibonInstitute.org for details and announcements. You can also register for the current courses through the Institute. Should you need assistance with registration you can email info@pettiboninstitute.org.

Im a student at Life West and am wondering how I can learn the Pettibon system. LCCW does not currently have an elective dedicated to the technique and I hear of no outside seminars going on in the bay area. Please advise. THanks!

Thanks Dr. Shan. Really, I learned a ton. And rest assured, I will be taking the neurology seminar next year. But of course I have two questions first related to the stress xray. Should the patient be head weighted for their lateral misalignments or should the first stress xray exclusively target correcting FHP? If only FHP first, what percent correction before lateral weighting? There are varying answers written in the online material. Second, headweighting for the stress xray causes some raising of the hard pallate. What does this indicate and what do I do about it?

Thanks again, Kevin

Good Evening Dr. Kevin,
Great question! What you need to look at is if the muscles that you are trying to stimulate are posture or phasic (phasic that has been recruited from the brain to help the postural muscles). We talked about the differentiation after class on Saturday when we reviewed the sEMG and Thermography. If it is phasic then you would want to put the weights opposite the side of Cerebellum decrease (left in your example). If it is strictly postural then you would want to put the weights opposite the side of the Cerebral Cortex decrease (right in your example). Thank you Dr. Kevin and have a wonderful week-end and may God bless!
Dr. Shan
