Abstract

A new variant of the Still Technique is described involving the use of a local force vector applied directly to the restricted tissue during the passive movement of the tissue from its ease through its restriction. This new “short lever” version is easily taught and, based on classroom experience, can be readily mastered by students of osteopathic manipulative medicine at all levels.
