The construct of four to five lines on an x-ray film producing three angles, and two deviations off vertical has created a very simple mechanical approach to upper cervical corrections. It has evolved minimally over the decades by different UC groups and with very few...

From my first Technique class to my last, and even well into practice, I have always felt something was missing within the process of corrective structural biomechanics. This is the dynamic aspect, or “how to fix”, aspect of corrective spinal care. The process had...

Gravity vs. tensegrity is a lifetime battle. When we are young and filled with energy, our ability to overcome the compressive forces of gravity, even in a misaligned position, is possible. But as we age and our energetic abilities diminish, gravity always wins. We...

Grostic and Wernsing apparently contemporaneously and yet independently, conceived of the possibility that the frontal plane rotation of the atlas under the skull, what we have called atlas side-slip, or atlas laterality, could be measured in degrees. This idea was...
