However, when the joint is affected by injury, inflammation or mechanical forces, etc. the distribution of tension between the ligaments is ....
This is what happens in somatic dysfunction. The distribution and vector of tension within any given ligament will ... according to the position of strain in the joint. However, the shared tension within the ligamentous articular mechanism of any given joint remains ... as long as the ligament is not damaged. This has been called a reciprocal tension mechanism. |

there are techniques that use fulcrums and levers to direct changes to ligamentous articular strains directly.
These techniques can be used to make corrections in all ligamentous and membranous articulatory mechanisms. These techniques combine a ... (... point) introduced by the physician with the physiological movements and forces generated in the body through position and respiration |
