Cervical Mobilization
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
While I’ve been quite successful for some time in working with cervical spinal dysfunctions,
adding the Q-1000 laser system has created a whole new dimension to my success in treating
these conditions.

Coracoclavicular Ligament Release
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
The coracoclavicular ligaments
are an often overlooked area in
shoulder girdle and thoracic outlet
dysfunction. Their anatomical
position places them in a crucial
junction between the coracoid process
and lateral clavicle and they are
often short and tight with a history of
trauma or postural issues.

Lateral Pterygoid Release
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
A key structure in TMJ dysfunction, the lateral pterygoid muscle is a primary muscle of mastication and is often restricted and tight. It is frequently associated with upper cervical and occipital pain. I find that I can get significant changes in the suboccipital region simply by releasing the lateral pterygoids bilaterally.

Sympathetic Nervous System Balance with the Q1000 Resonator
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
The technique used for balancing the sympathetic nervous system is quite simple. You
apply the Q1000 resonator using Mode 2 to each adrenal gland for a full cycle on each side. But
understanding why it seems to work so well takes some explanation.

Myofascial Release
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
As a Certified Advanced Rolfer® with extensive training in Myofascial Release, my primary
approach to treatment is soft tissue manual therapy.
I’ve distinguished myself in my community as an expert on soft tissue work. Referrals come
almost exclusively from the word-of-mouth recommendations of my patients. I’m booked out
six weeks at a time and my practice is entirely cash-based. And since I closed my sportsmedicine
practice in Florida to move to Colorado in 1992, the only piece of treatment equipment I’ve owned
is a hydraulic table.

Techniques for the Lymph System
Cathy Ulrich, PT, DPT
Most of us have heard of lymph nodes - often as they relate to the spread of cancer – they
can be thought of as the water treatment plants in our waste management system. These nodes
basically serve as the places where lymphocytes, very specialized white blood cells, live and do
their work. T-lymphocytes are those cells that are severely attacked when someone has AIDS, so we
can appreciate how important these cells are to maintaining our immune system. We usually only
think of lymph nodes when they’re swollen in our necks from a virus, or they’re being evaluated for
whether they contain cancer cells, but they are doing their work all the time to keep us healthy and
free of pathogens and bad cells.
