Here is a clip from Dr. Hancock’s upcoming new video that teaches Manual Muscle Testing from the CranioSomatic perspective. Muscle testing is a valuable skill for any holistic practitioner.
In this video excerpt from his CranioStructural Integration DVD, Dr. Hancock demonstrates identifying and releasing a common pattern of muscle inhibition (weakness). Dr. Hancock identifies inhibited muscles and demonstrates the cranial treatment of these ‘Universal’ musculoskeletal patterns that often underlie chronic pain. He uses muscle testing to first show the cranial patterns, and then to demonstrate their successful resolution.
Watch and learn as the founder of this remarkable therapy demonstrates manual muscle testing and fascial restrictions before and after he performs the CSI techniques on a new patient.

Dr. Dallas Hancock teaches the Sagittal Suture Release technique. Trained in craniosacral, chiropractic and a number of other modalities, Dr. Hancock brings a unique and effective approach called CranioSomatics.
Tips for over-use disorders: Prevention and treatment
Overuse and repetitive motion are a common cause of chronic pain. Dr. Flo Barber-Hancock notes a new patient’s history of physical activities and traumatic events. She uses muscle testing and other techniques to evaluate muscle function and joint range of motion before treatment.
​
Many people experience aches and pains from repetitive movement patterns in the workplace. Carpal tunnel syndrome is one such problem, sometimes caused by working at a keyboard for many hours. Athletes also experience many problems as a result of repetitive motion, as they intensively practice the same moves over and over.

Facilitated Pathways Intervention© is a unique cranial therapy developed by Dr. Barber-Hancock to help to resolve chronic pain in joints and muscles anywhere in the body.
Surprisingly often, the real reasons for neck pain or back pain are hidden. These two common complaints often originate in joints and muscles that are not close to the symptoms. Dr. Flo Barber-Hancock understands how important it is to evaluate the whole body to identify the source of a problem.
Muscle testing can help her find those ‘hidden’ areas and choose the most effective treatment.

Facilitated Pathways Intervention brings very satisfying results for patients in most cases.
