How easy is it to hurt someone doing the sleeve and core sequence? Specifically, how easily can you break cervical transverse processes? Is this something I should be worried about doing while doing mother cat per say?
The Mother Cat technique is quite gentle, performed correctly, and focuses on superficial layers.
Some of the coupled-motion techniques (rotation w/ side bending, and w/ flexion/extension), tho also very gentle, affect the deepest structures in the neck, and so are best performed with extreme sensitivity.
There should never be pain or discomfort with these techniques, and normal manual therapy cautions, considerations, and contraindications apply.
