The counterstrain tender points of the lumbar spine are named for the dysfunctional lumbar vertebrae. Anterior tender points are treated with the patient supine and posterior tender points are treated with the patient prone. Many of the counterstrain techniques for lumbar somatic dysfunctions are facilitated by slight rotation of the patient s thighs and pelvis, and by resting some part of the patient s leg on the physician s thigh or knee.
