Introduction The Art of HVT DVD is an invaluable resource of practitioner material presented in an interactive format. Using video and supporting documentation, David Lintonbon clearly explains the techniques and theory of current HVT practice. A must for all serious students and practitioners in this field and a good tool for CPD. Take a look at the sample video clips shown below. This is a web friendly small download, however the video quality on the DVD which can be purchased from this site is of near broadcast standard and also includes reading material to accompany each technique. You can purchase a copy of the DVD here for just £25 including postage (worldwide). The DVD is Region 2 (Europe) and in PAL.
	Introduction to Spinal Manipulation The thrust technique is a method of specific joint mobilisation. Proper use of thrust technique requires an assessment of restriction of joint motion along with the conclusion that treatment of this joint restriction will benefit the patient, e.g. reduce pain, free motion, improve biomechanical function, reduce somatovisceral reflex. 2 minutes
	Upper Thoracic Spine Here is a nice description of the motion and angles of the thoracic facets and common fault of the upper thoracic spine 1 minute
	Lumbo-sacral Junction HVT Technique (Modified Chicago) The objective of this technique is to restore physiologic range of motion to L/S junction. 2 minutes
	Subtalar Joint Examination and HVT The subtalar joint (talocalcaneal joint) is a major shock-absorbing joint. The strong talocalcaneal ligament stabilises the joint, which is synovial with a single oblique axis that declines backward and laterally. This joint acts like a mitered hinge so that movement of the calcaneus produces leg rotation. Inversion of the calcaneous produces external rotation of the tibia while the talus glides posterolaterally over the calcaneus. 2 minutes
