So, now kind of a skill prompt to do a short summary of how we use myofascial release to treat the first rib and the cervical-thoracic junction here is that we're going to go back to what we did for assessment. When we use the analogy driving a car, which we turn the wheel and also step on the gas, step on the brakes to show rotation, side bending right, rotating right. We're going to simplify it. We are going to create a model where we are going to go in one direction versus the other. We're going to rotate and side bend to the right, turn the wheel to the right, side bend to the right, hold it for 10 seconds. Then we're going to do the opposite. We're going to rotate to the left and side bend to the left. We're going to turn the wheel to the left and step on the brakes themselves, hold it for 10 seconds. Do that whole thing three times. Our hands will be in position, we'll rotate to the right, side bend to the right again, and we'll hold that for that 10 seconds, turn the wheel to the right, step on the gas, and after 10 seconds, we're going to now go to the opposite side, to the left, rotate left and side bend left. Now we're going to step again on the brakes on this side. By going back and holding it 10 seconds in each direction and doing it three times, it'll give us the maximal benefit to help get the tissue to release. That's why myofascial release, we have both, again, this direct and indirect approach. Now I'm rotating the side bend to the right. I'll take it in that direction and hold it. And then after 10 seconds, we're going to go back to the left and repeat that whole process three times. Again, steer right, steer left, 10 seconds each direction, three times.
