Thoracolumbar Spine Decompression
Protocol #ARC-2015-01 • DOI: 10.2015/m-arc.01 • Author: Stephanie R

Kinetic Chain Alignment: Decompression Principles for the Thoracolumbar Spine

Abstract: Prolonged seated postures induce posterior pelvic rotation and loss of lumbar lordosis. This monograph explores three-dimensional spinal decompression through axial elongation, passive traction, and reciprocal inhibition of hypertonic hip flexors.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. Supine Psoas Release (90/90 elevation) • 2. Cat-Cow Axial Articulation • 3. Supported Child's Pose with Lateral Thoracic Reach.
Target Anatomy: Erector Spinae, Quadratus Lumborum, Multifidus ℹ Contraindication: Acute disc herniation without medical clearance
Morning Joint Articular Circulation
Protocol #ARC-2017-02 • DOI: 10.2017/m-arc.02 • Author: M'arc Research Desk

Synovial Joint Physiology & Morning Articular Circulation Regimens

Abstract: Overnight recumbency causes transient synovial thickening and fascial dehydration. This protocol details low-load rhythmic oscillations designed to optimize cartilage nutrition, reduce morning stiffness, and prepare myofascial lines for daily movement.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. Gentle Ankle & Wrist Circumduction • 2. Standing Dynamic Pelvic Circles • 3. Modulated Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar A variant).
Target Anatomy: Glenohumeral, Coxofemoral & Talocrural Joint Capsules Recommended: Daily upon waking (15 min)
Ergonomic Micro-Breaks for Computer Users
Protocol #ARC-2019-05 • DOI: 10.2019/m-arc.05 • Author: Stephanie R

Ergonomic Micro-Break Protocols for Sustained Computer Workstations

Abstract: Analysis of upper crossed syndrome and anterior head carriage in office workers. Implements micro-interventions performed every 90 minutes to restore scapular depression and deep neck flexor recruitment.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. Chin Tucks with Suboccipital Release • 2. Doorway Pectoral Stretch • 3. Standing Desk Psoas Extension.
Target Anatomy: Levator Scapulae, Pectoralis Minor, Longus Colli Execution: 3 to 5 minutes hourly
Parasympathetic Restorative Yoga
Protocol #ARC-2021-08 • DOI: 10.2021/m-arc.08 • Author: Somatic Research Unit

Parasympathetic Down-Regulation via Passive Restorative Asana Progression

Abstract: Examination of baroreceptor stimulation and vagal tone modulation through supported inversions and passive pelvic opening poses. Designed to accelerate evening physical recovery and lower sympathetic drive.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. Supported Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall) • 2. Supta Baddha Konasana with Bolster • 3. Prolonged Savasana with Diaphragmatic Anchoring.
Target Systems: Autonomic Nervous System, Adrenal-Cortisol Axis Recommended: Pre-sleep sequence (20-30 min)
Iliopsoas Lengthening and Pelvic Mechanics
Protocol #ARC-2023-11 • DOI: 10.2023/m-arc.11 • Author: Stephanie R

Iliopsoas Lengthening & Pelvic Neutralization in Daily Movement

Abstract: Chronic shortening of the iliopsoas complex exerts excessive shear force on the lumbar spine. This paper formulates active and passive lengthening protocols without hyperextending the anterior hip capsule.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. Half-Kneeling Posterior Pelvic Tilt Lunge • 2. Prone Quad Active Inhibition • 3. Supine Single-Knee Hug with Distal Limb Extension.
Target Anatomy: Psoas Major, Iliacus, Rectus Femoris ℹ Avoid lumbar overarching during stretch
Diaphragmatic Inhalation and Heart Rate Modulation
Protocol #ARC-2025-04 • DOI: 10.2025/m-arc.04 • Author: Archival Editorial Board

Diaphragmatic Inhalation Cadence & Autonomic Heart Rate Modulation

Abstract: Quantitative analysis of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during 1:2 inhalation-to-exhalation Pranayama ratios. Provides step-by-step guidance on nasal diaphragmatic breathing to stabilize baseline tonus.

Key Protocol Stages: 1. 3-Dimensional Ribcage Expansion Check • 2. 4-Second Inhale / 8-Second Exhale Cadence • 3. Sama Vritti (Equal Ratio Flow).
Target Mechanisms: Phrenic Nerve, Diaphragm Dome, Pulmonary Mechanoreceptors Daily Dosage: 10-15 min
