How is completion indicated in the Frontal Lift?

• A. Hold until fullness of position is reached
• B. Hold for 5 seconds
• C. Recheck immediately
• D. Wait for patient feedback

Answer: (A)

In a Frontal Lift, completion is determined by palpatory end point rather than time or patient feedback. You hold the lift until fullness of position is reached—the point at which the frontal area has moved into a balanced, integrated position and the restrictive pattern has released. This fullness signals that the maneuver has achieved its goal and the cranial system can be re-evaluated. Holding for a set time or waiting for patient feedback isn’t a reliable indicator, and rechecking immediately during the hold can disrupt the subtle release.
