LUMBAR DOUBLE TRANSVERSE MOVE
A movement sometimes applied to posterior or postero-rotary Lumbars.
Palpation and Contact
From the spinous, find first the more posterior transverse and make contact with it, since most force must be directed there. Stand facing patient’s head and place right hand on right transverse and left hand on left.
Contact point in this move is the tuberosity of the scaphoid with the posterior surface of the transverse. Fingers curve away from median line so as to avoid the rib curve.
Movement
After heavy, steady pressure downward, force is delivered with a quick, throwing movement, most force on the posterior side.
