Pivotal Therapy Systems

Soft Tissue System

Occipivot The occipivot is useful in tension and stress syndromes, TMJ, headaches, abnormal sustained posture, i.e., forward head position or virtually anyone who wants to feel less or no tension at the base of their skull.
	Cervical Pivot The Cervical Pivot is useful in tension and stress syndromes, TMJ, headaches, abnormal sustained posture, i.e., forward head position or virtually anyone who wants to feel less or no tension at the base of their skull.
Short Thoracic The Short Thoracic Pivot is to be used when combining treatment with the Cervical Pivot and Lumbar Pivot. The Thoracic Pivot is to be used alone. The Thoracic Pivot is ideal for persons with a forward head posture. This is the only time they can truly have a pivot to retract their scapulae to put their spine in the correct posture. The Thoracic Pivot is needed as an integral part of low back treatment, as it is impossible to have normal lumbar mechanics if the thoracic spine and ribs are not normally postured. It is surprisingly effective in many cervical problems as the thoracic area and ribs are frequently neglected since they are not painful.
	Lumbar Pivot The Lumbar Pivot is effective for promoting proper lordosis. It also acts as a support when the patient is doing exercises suggested from their health care provider.
