Seated Occipital-Atlanto Manipulation - Professor Laurie Hartman | Osteopathic and Chiropractic CPD

In this discussion, Laurie Hartman shares the details of a seated occipital-Atlanto (OA) manipulation technique he learned from a Canadian osteopath while working with Barry Savery, a well-regarded osteopath. The technique involves gently pulling the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) back while applying mild side bending and extension to the neck, using the head's position to facilitate the movement. Hartman emphasizes that the manipulation should be done in mid-range motion to avoid strain, which makes the technique safe and effective without the full-force thrust often seen in other cervical manipulations.
