1. Reactive Muscle What is the problem? How do you know to look for it?
The Test
The Correction

2. What is the problem? Normal Reciprocal Inhibition
In a Reactive Muscle,
the reciprocal inhibition lasts too long.
Therefore, the inhibited muscle actually becomes a “weak” muscle for a little while.
It does recover quickly but not before the damage is done!

3. How do you know to look for it?
Clinical Indicators say:
This muscle SHOULD be weak.
Muscle tests strong in the clear.
What other situation shows up this way?

5. Reactive Muscle Chart See page:
66 in Walther
The problem is NOT in the “Reactive Muscle”
The problem IS in the “Muscle to Sedate”

6. The Test for a Reactive Muscle
Of course the muscle tests SIC
Find “Muscle to Sedate” from chart
Patient contracts THAT muscle
Doctor immediately tests suspected Reactive Muscle
Suspected Reactive Muscle tests weak

7. The Correction of a Reactive Muscle
TL for Muscle Spindle Cell dysfunction
Manipulate the belly of the muscle in the direction of SEDATION
Occasionally,the GTO will be the problem
SEDATE the GTO’s
