3.1.4. Restrictions, Muscles and Therapies

The non-specific and specific therapy techniąues for treating restrictions of the cervical spine and its segments are listed in Table 3-1. The actions of the muscles which may cause those restrictions are listed in Table 3-2. The various restrictions possible are listed in Movement Restriction Table 8-1. pp. 142-143.
