Swedish
sooooo we have 2 quizzes next class and the belly project as been assigned. Anyway, here's the sequence that was on the board:

1. apply oil and bilat. tree
2. shingles eff.
3. facing head, circle eff.
4. a)circle friction on paraspinals
b)optional pet.
5. knuckle friction between scapula
6. mobilize scapula
7. knead upper traps
8. eff. to traps with fist
9. direct thumb press along traps
10. pet. to whole back
(transfer to LB)
11. circle friction along paraspinals
12. thumb stripping to paraspinals into QL's
13. lift sides of waist and come down medial and inferior, with deep eff.
14. finishing strokes- eff, rake, nerve


Body Awareness
We did trades.
Homework: journal on giving experience and observing/receiving (the whole experience I think). Also read chapter 7 and be prepared to answer questions on the chapter.


Anatomy

Quadratus Lumborum (deepest of the abdomen, not the back, but splits the two)
O: posterior iliac crest
I: last rib (12th) and transverse processes of 1-4 lumbar vertebrae
A: unilat.- laterally tilt (elevate or hike the hip) pelvis
- laterally flex vertebral column to same side
- assist extend vert. column
bilat. fix last rib during forced inhalation and exhalation


Abdominals (4)

Rectus Abdominis
O: pubic crest and pubic symphysis
I: cartilage 5-7th ribs and xiphoid process
A: flex vert column
tilt pelvis posterior (tuck tail bone)

External Oblique
O: external surface of 5-12 rib.
I: anterior part of iliac crest, abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: unilat- laterally flex vert column to same side
- rotate vert column to opposite side
bilat- flex vert column
- compress abdominal contents

Internal Oblique
O: lateral inguinal lig., iliac crest, and thoracolumbar fascia
I: internal surface of lower 3 ribs (10-12), abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: unilat- laterally flex vert column to same side
- rotate vert column
bilat- flex vert column
- compress abdominal content

Transverse Abdominis
O: lateral inguinal lig., iliac crest, and thoracolumbar fascia, and internal surface of lower 6 ribs (7-12).
I: Abdominal aponeurosis to linea alba
A: compress abdominal contents

Pyramidalis (80% of people have it)
O: pubic symphysis
I: linea alba
A: tense linea alba



Diaphragm
O: costal attachment- inner surface of lower six ribs
lumbar attachment- upper two or three lumbar vertebrae
sternal attachment- inner part of xiphoid process
I: central tendon
A: draw down the central tendon of the diaphragm
increase the volume of the thoracic cavity during inhalation
-relaxed it is umbrella shape
-flat when pulling in air (drum head like when lungs are full of air)
-separates upper and lower thoracic cavity
