Spinal motion palpation has been widely used by manual therapy practitioners to diagnose spinal dysfunction.
It is frequently used to locate primary areas of joint restriction. It helps determine whether a patient needs spinal manipulation; if so, where to apply the thrust (Bergmann and Peterson, 2010).
a recent study among physiotherapists in Australia reported that around 98% of the respondents were using manual palpatory tests to take treatment decisions (Abbott et al., 2009).
the clinical utility of these palpation techniques in the assessment of spinal dysfunction has been controversial, a majority of studies has found it to be unreliable due to low indices of agreement (Huijbregts 2002; Haneline et al. 2008; Walker et al., 2015; Cooperstein and Young, 2016).
The use of motion palpation to guide treatment interventions is questionable.

Hmmm In proprioceptor and micro glia below they conclude These results suggest that chronic proprioceptor activation induces the sequential activation of neurons along the spinal reflex arc, and the neuronal activation further activates microglia along the arc. So proprioceptor activity and spinal reflex arcs increase microglia activity. In petri dishes and in animals, scientists had previously observed how microglia guide developing neurons to the right locations, creating the highly organized layers that make up the brain. They also prune connections between neurons. “Things get off track pretty quickly when you start manipulating the functions of microglia. So manipulating the proprioceptors and spinal reflex arcs guide the development of the brain!!!

Microglia make up 10 percent of the brain, and an extremely rare case shows just how important they are.These results suggest that chronic proprioceptor activation induces the sequential activation of neurons along the spinal reflex arc, and the neuronal activation further activates microglia along the arc.
