Introducing Pumping of the Stellate Ganglion — a powerful and often overlooked technique.

The stellate ganglion is a cluster of sympathetic nerves located in the lower cervical region that plays a key role in regulating “fight-or-flight” responses, including heart rate, blood flow, sweating, and pain signaling throughout the head, neck, and upper extremities.

When addressed properly, this area can have a profound impact on calming the nervous system, improving circulation, and reducing chronic tension patterns.

If you're a trainer, therapist, or coach looking to elevate your skill set and deliver real results, this is a must-learn technique.

Pumping of the Rib Heads

This is an extremely effective technique for clients presenting with rib head subluxation or general stiffness of the thoracic cage.

By improving mobility at the costovertebral joints, we can significantly influence overall thoracic function and rotational capacity.

This becomes especially important for rotational athletes—particularly in sports like golf—where thoracic mobility plays a critical role in performance. If we can restore even one degree of motion per rib, we can potentially create up to 24 degrees of additional rotation through the thoracic spine.

When combined with Rib ELDOA techniques and the Global Postural Stretch for the thoracic cage, this approach becomes a powerful system for restoring mobility, improving mechanics, and enhancing performance.

You can access this technique and more on H3TV.

The Sørensen Back Extension Test

The Sørensen Back Extension Test (also known as the Biering–Sørensen Test) is an isometric endurance test used to evaluate the strength and endurance of the posterior chain.

In this test, the client holds the upper body parallel to the ground while prone, creating an isometric contraction through the lower back, glutes, and spinal stabilizers.

This test is widely used in both performance and rehabilitation settings to assess back endurance and to help identify individuals who may be at a higher risk for low back pain. Research suggests that hold times below approximately 176–198 seconds may indicate reduced back endurance and a greater likelihood of future low back issues.

In this video, I demonstrate how to properly perform and assess the test, along with key coaching points to ensure correct positioning and activation.

You can join H3TV today with a free 3-day trial. The platform now includes over 300 instructional videos, all accessible for a small monthly membership.

Pumping of the Cervical Spine in Retropulsion
This is an excellent technique for opening the posterior aspect of the cervical spine, influencing both the soft tissue structures and the joints.

I particularly like using this technique with clients who present with forward head posture, as it can be an effective way to begin restoring more normal length–tension relationships in the cervical region.

When applied correctly, it can help improve mobility, reduce restriction, and set the foundation for better postural alignment.
The H3TV Therapy Section now features over 50 high-quality videos filmed in 4K resolution, designed to give you clear instruction and practical techniques you can immediately apply in your work.

Pumping of the Lumbar Spine in Positive Torsion

This is a great technique to help open the facet joints of the lumbar spine and restore mobility. Small, rhythmic pumping combined with torsion can help reduce joint compression, improve movement, and provide relief for many patients with lumbar stiffness.

New to H3? Start with “The Great 8.”
If you’re just beginning your H3 journey, head to the Member Requested Video section and find “The Great 8” — my top 8 proprioception exercises.
Proprioception is the foundation of everything we do.
Before strength.
Before speed.
Before performance.
Comes awareness.
Proprioception is your body’s ability to sense position, movement, and control. It’s what allows you to move efficiently, train intelligently, and reduce injury risk. Without it, intensity is just noise layered on dysfunction.
As coaches, the greatest gift we can offer our clients isn’t motivation or programming.
It’s awareness.
When someone truly understands how to feel their body — how to control it, stabilize it, align it — everything changes. Strength improves. Movement sharpens. Confidence builds.
“The Great 8” isn’t flashy.
It’s fundamental.
And fundamentals build longevity.
If you’re ready to train smarter, start there.
