Chronic Back - Analyzing Common Back Issues

 

This class focuses on understanging common spinal issues. We will review upper & lower cross syndrome. You will learn how to identify the SOURCE of your client's back pain. I do not just "rub the place it hurts" I will show you how to perform a detailed postural analysis and clinical assessment to identify the most likely cause of your client's back pain. Many advanced techniques from myofascial release, deep tissue, and neuromuscular will be practiced to address back pain. 75% hands on. 12 CEU hours

 

Myofascial Release

 

The (mostly) gentle technique I use every day in my practice. Although myofascial work usually feels gentle, you are accessing deep levels of tissue and obtaining profound results. This is the modality that I use daily to obtain permanant change in the structure of the body. 12 CEU Hours

Cranio-Sacral 1

 

In this one day class come discover what Cranio Sacral therapy is. This is the foundation course for all my other cranio-sacral classes. You will learn how to palpate the cranial rythm, induce a still point, and a lateral fluctuation. If you have never felt the cranial rythm or do not know how to induce a still point, this is the cranial class you need to start with. Class size is limited so that I can work with each individual therapist during this class. 6 CEU Hours

 

Cranio-Sacral Therapy Level 2

 

Prerequisite: My level one class, other training may be accepted with permission from the instructor. In this class we will build on the skills that you learned on day 1. Specifically we will learn to take the major bones of the cranium through their natural range of motion, releasing restrictions and encouraging better cranial movement. 6 CEU hours

 

Cranio-Sacral 3

 

In this one day class, we complete the protocol started in Cranio-Sacral 2. You will walk away able to perform a full cranio-sacral treatment as well as tips and tricks to deal with a hard to find cranial rythm. We will review the material presented in day 2 and continue to delve into this powerful modality. 6 CEU hours

TMJ

 

Review of cranio-facial anatomy and in depth presentation of myofascail and neuromuscular techniques to address dysfunction of the TMJ joint. This will greatly improve your ability to deal with headaches, migraines,  and jaw pain. We learn both external and intra-oral techniques. Gloves will be provided for intra-oral work, but if you need specific sizes or have a sensitivity to latex, please bring your own.  A very fast paced class. 6 CEU hours

Advanced Low Back & Pelvic Balancing

 

The pelvis is root of most postural issues. We will analyze the illium to determine if one side is high/low, anterior/posterior or if one (or both) SI joints are not moving properly. They we will perform quick and simple myofascial techniques to balance the pelvis. We will also learn to evaluate and treat mis-aligned public bones and SI disfunction. Really simple neuromuscular techniques will be practiced that will wow your clients. You will  learn to release psoas. We will discuss common causes of low back pain and learn to work smarter. Most of this work can be done fuly clothed. Please wear stretchy clothing such as yoga pants or athletic shorts.
