Check lateral movement (moving to the therapist’s right side) Goal: To assess the client’s ROM on the lateral side of their body and to ascertain where they may be restricted as you move them laterally. Client posi?on: Supine with arms at their side. Therapist: • Lid both of the client’s extended legs with trac?on at 10°–20° again. • Hold both of their heels in the palms of your hands and gently wrap your fingers around their heels. • Engage your core and bend your knees slightly. • Move slowly to the right un?l the client’s movement stops. • If their hip begins to roll up off the table you have reached the end of their ROM. Trac?on: Lean back with your body, stay relaxed.

Fascial Mobility Assessments
Upper Body Supine: • Ac?ve arm length (palms together): 90°, full flexion • Arms overhead (palms apart) • Passive shoulder joint capsule trac?on-‐stretch: 90°
Side lying: • Shoulder abduc?on-‐lateral line assessment-‐stretch
Re-‐assess: arm length and overhead [Group 1 then 2]
