Balanced ligamentous release

Osteopathic manipuiation was added to her treatment pian. The muscle hypertonicity was treated with passive myofascial techniques and facilitated positional release. The somatic dysfunctions were treated with muscle energy, facilitated positional release, and balanced ligamentous tension. Rib-raising was used to induce adequate lymphatic drainage and normalize sympathetic tone. 

The osteopathic treatment selected for this patient was balanced ligamentous tension technique to the sacrum, inhibition of the psoas muscle, pelvic diaphragm release, and lateral spread of the vaginal walls.
