Still Technique Course - Sunday 27/01/2013
Today I attended the 1 day Still Technique Course held at the BSO with Jonathan Edis and Glyn Booker. A
The course covered the theory behind the Still Technique and application principles.
We then covered techniques for the 1st rib, lumbar spine, sacro-iliac joint and ilio psoas.
It is a deceptively easy looking technique but much harder to perform than you would think. The course was really enjoyable and I definitely will use these techniques in clinic.

Using Still technique in clinic
I don't feel that I've been able to use Still techniques as much as I would like to in clinic, I think purely because I don't feel competent enough at them to feel like I would be effective and therefore give my patient benefit from the technique. I realise however that in order to improve at the techniques you need to practice them and that should ideally be on people who have genuine problems that need treatment! So all in all a bit of a vicious circle.....once CCAs are out of the way I will come back to these techniques and revise them properly.
The little Still technique I have used in clinic seems to have been fairly effective though, the patient said it felt good, even if this was combined with the rest of the non Still technique treatment.
