Evidence, including Anecdotal required for Maitland Mobilisation Technique

Hi there!

I am an MSc student and am giving a presentation looking into the use of the Transverse Mobilisation to the Thoracic Spine (Thoracic Transverse Technique).

I personally, haven't used this technique in clinical practice, I was wondering whether any of you have found this technique particularly useful and for what types of patient presentation you would opt to utilise the technique for.

Any suggests will be welcomed!

Many thanks,

Andy!

Use on any patient who complaints upper back pains/pains of upper back pains with spinal extension/upper back pains while scapular retraction. But if you use grade 4 movements you must ask about night pains and check chest X rays as it will stand for thoracic spine tumorous.
