Abstract
A pilot study was performed to test the theory that manual medicine techniques known as the CV4 (compression of fourth cerebral ventricle) maneuver and a Sacra/Illiac Bridge Hold combination increase parasympathetic activity. Autonomic activity was measured in this study by computing heart rate variability. Results indicated an increase in parasympathetic activity as a result of the CV4 maneuver and Sacral Holds.
