In the book “Movement, Stability & Lumbopelvic Pain”, Andry Vleeming uses the term “Ligamentous Stocking” to describe the connectedness of fibrous soft-tissue structures of the lumbar vertebrae to the sacrum.
I put it to you that this “Ligamentous Stocking” is organism wide, connecting not just the vertebral column to the sacrum, but also connecting the various appendicular interdigitations of membranous, capsular, ligamentous and periosteal fibrous tissues to the axial fibrous tissues.
Manual therapy is an ART and a science. Treat the organism rather than the segment.
