Re: freeing the fibula

I have a great book on ligamentous articular strain techniques
that offers another approach to knee pain due to a misaligned
fibula. Flex the hip and knee to approximatedly 90?. Slightly
externally rotate the femur. With the arm closest to the client's
head, bend your elbow to 90? and prop it onto the table, making a
vertical pedestal with your foremarm and thumb. With the pad of
this thumb, push the posterior superior portion of the fibular
head inferiorly toward the foot. The distal hand inverts the foot
and slightly rotates the foot medially. This pulls on the distal end
of the fibula. Balance the connective tissue surrounding both
ends of the fibula and the interosseous membrane between the
tibia and fibula until a release occurs. The fibular head moves
inferiorly and anteriorly and slides back into its socket.
I hope it is ok to share this out of the book. It comes from
"Ligamentous Articular Strain" by Conrad Speece and William
Crow. I have used it several times with good results.
