Central And Unilateral Anterior Glides (PA Glide) Indications: To improve segmental mobility in all directions.  Central glides assist excels with sagittal plane motion forward and backward bending while unilateral glides enhance rotation and side bending. Accessory Motion Technique Patient Position:  Prone with a pillow supporting the lumbar spine.  Clinician Position & Hand Placement:  Stand to the side of the patient. As a general technique, stabilization is not required.  The region of the hand just distal to the pisiform contacts the spinous process for central gli...
