Sleeping With ASMR

Following on from the previous blog items featuring an osteopath here is a new one. To me the voice is not a natural ASMR one however the examination is quite relaxing and missing the clunks, clicks, and exclamations that we have seen before.

Fortunately, this is lacking obtrusive background noise. There is also a helpful set of notes (which we can probably now take to be a sign of a professionally released video). This tells us that it was all filmed at the North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNTHSC – TCOM) Medical Education Training (MET) facilities.

It is also lacks the borderline nasty comments which we have occasionally seen before.

All of these are good signs. However, the voice is no Shane Brun – but hey this is not what the video was produced for.

The channel is Osteopathic Clinical Skills there are extensive notes on the channel but none of these details who is doing the presenting. There are ninety-seven videos as at today’s date. As usual I will select a relevant playlist to slim this down to something more manageable for a blogpost. There are ten playlists and as luck would have it our first selected video is a member of this one:

Landmark Palpation

Six videos including the one that we have already covered above.

The videos are:

Common Palpatory Landmarks for Physical Examination and Osteopathic Structural Examination

Again it is calm, no Dr James Gill but far better than some of the student videos we have seen in the past.

The background noise (air conditioning again) is not excessive here unlike some that have been reviewed of late.

Standing Postural Examination – Osteopathic Structural Exam (OSE) Screening

The length of the videos starts to slope off a bit with this one, just in excess of six and a half minutes. The quality though still remains consistent. It is more relaxing than true ASMR. As such, I still think that these are going to make it to the Procrastination Pen playlist, although I reserve the right to archive any that don’t stand up to continued review.

The video we started with in this blog post occurs after this one in the playlist. There is very little variance in terms of presentation with the videos we have already seen in this post. Assuming no terrible surprises, I think all of these will be in the Procrastination Pen playlist (at least for a while). I use the playlist myself so it gets continuous evaluation for effectiveness. So far, my favourite remains Hollie Berry, but it is always possible something even more marvellous will make itself known soon.

Somatic Dysfunction: Tissue Texture Assessment (TART) – Thoracic, Lumbar

Interesting how much a person has to be informed of, so that they are able to consent to the procedure. This seems a fairly recent development or maybe it is a regional one. This video remains consistent with the others. This has been a good set with no outlandish noises or strange behaviours. Not true ASMR but relaxing enough to be in the Procrastination Pen playlist I contend (subject to future review).

The Osteopathic Clinical Skills playlist on the Procrastination Pen is here:

The overall playlist of videos covered so far on the Procrastination Pen is here:

The archive playlist of videos that were in the above playlist but found after repeated review not to make the grade, is here:

I keep this in case subscribers to the Procrastination Pen have personal favourites that they want to hear.

The playlist of videos requiring age verification is here:

I can’t be bothered to log on. This interrupts the listening experience. You may not mind this in which case this list is for you.

I hope that you find the playlists restful and I hope you get plenty of sleep.

Sleeping With ASMR

Another segue in terms of video subject this one is osteopathy. The voice is not as restful as in some previous videos – nonetheless I find this one relaxing. (However this is no Dr Gill).

PE: Neurologic Exam – OSCE Prep – 2022

The notes indicate this was filmed at the University of North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNTHSC – TCOM).

This has a YouTube channel TCOM Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, but it does not include this one.

Here OSCE is Objective Structured Clinical Examination.

The intro tells us that it was filmed in 2022 which is positively up to date in terms of the ASMR videos I’ve covered so far. Neither the “patient” nor the medical professional are introduced so I’m none the wiser.

As the exam continues the medical professional’s voice gets a lot quieter and that is a lot better ASMR-wise. This is a playlist candidate.

Again it is worthwhile checking out the resulting channel to see if there are any gems hiding in there.

The channel is Osteopathic Clinical Skills, and contains about ninety-two videos as at today’s date which again is far too many for any single blog item (perhaps we’ll venture back here at some future date).

Fortunately, Osteopathic Clinical Skills has been kind enough to supply a playlist containing the featured video, which is here:

There are only seven videos in here (which is a more manageable number).

We’ve covered the above one, the remaining six are:

Common Palpatory Landmarks for Physical Examination and Osteopathic Structural Examination

It starts a bit loud for me, obviously the presenter is in education mode rather than examination mode. (Well for most people performing an examination they are quite a bit quieter).

Unfortunately this style continues with the rest of the video making it unsuitable for our ASMR purposes. For this reason this video isn’t going to be in the playlist.

Standing Postural Examination – Osteopathic Structural Exam (OSE) Screening

It starts out loud as it is after all a teaching video. Sadly this isn’t useful in ASMR terms so it will not be in the playlist.

Lordosis – inward curve of the spine in neck or lower back.

Upper Extremity Palpatory Landmarks for Physical Examination and Osteopathic Structural Examination

Appreciate – to detect or to find.

This is still presented as in a classroom – perhaps less noisy than the previous one but still not quite there.

FIGS by the way is not a name label for the “patient” but a range of medical apparel.

Somatic Dysfunction: Clavicle (SC and AC Joint)

It starts reasonably quietly but still not Shane Brun. For me this is still a bit loud so it will not be in the playlist.

Sternoclavicular – link between the collarbone and the breastbone.

Acromioclavicular where the collarbone meets the highest point of the shoulder blade.

Thoracic & Lumbar Spine Palpatory Landmarks for Physical Examination & Osteopathic Structural Exam

I think that these are probably great instruction videos – this one has fourteen thousand five hundred subscribers for example. But it really isn’t any good for ASMR.

Pelvis & Sacrum Palpatory Landmarks for Physical Examination and Osteopathic Structural Exam

As before, a no-doubt great instruction video but it doesn’t make the playlist.

So no Osteopathic Clinical Skills Playlist (only one video made the grade).

The overall playlist for videos covered so far in this blog is here:

I hope you find it relaxing.
