    Mimi - The aggressive technique is a manipulation that has to be done by a certified individual. It uses the same squeezing motion that the exercise Knott posted, but the resistance is porvided by the practitioner instead of a pillow and after each contraction the practitioner repositions the knees farther out as appropriate. After repeating this a few times, the practitioner will then perform a quick thrust out on the knees while the client resists. This causes a gapping athe pubic symphasis and can allow things to realign themselves. It is often startling because of the noise that comes with the manipulation, but ideally it is not painful. This technique carries a lot of risk if done improperly or on the wrong type of clients. So there are a lot of techniques that a practioner should choose first, like the exercise Knott posted, because they carry less risk. It's one of those things you do when nothing else seems to be doing the trick.

    From what I can gather Mimi, you would most likely fall into the wrong kind of patient for the full manipulation. I almost never use it and I've been certified to do manipultions for 7 years.

    Edited for spelling to add - it sounds like a single clean, loud crack on a lifesaver. But it comes from your pubic area, so it's really kinda creepy.

    uh, Wahine, I'm going to do that exercise twice a day until the pain is gone.
    I have no interest in the full meal deal. i was merely curious.
    eeek.
    I should continue to do that exercise after i am healed. Somehow one part of me is too strong for another part, which is what makes this occur in the first place.
