For the beginner and seasoned therapist!

Developed by osteopaths and East European physical therapists this course embodies many of the major developments in cutting edge bodywork technique. The course allows you to move away from confrontational pain management techniques  and  enhances the effects of neuromuscular trigger point techniques as well by addressing the whole body. This modality was also developed  for European  athletes  and will  achieve breakthroughs in chronic myofascial pain cases.

We will focus on:

1. Postural Fascial Release
2. Gentle Joint Mobilisation Techniques involving the patient in Active stretches
3. Structural changes
4. Saving your hands

You will learn:

1. You will learn how this advanced Myofascial release method with  Muscle Energy Techniques causes joint mobilization and release in muscle shortness
2. How to relax whole groups of muscles when single muscle therapy and spot work are just not enough
3. How to reduce and eliminate neuropathic muscle spasms when trigger point therapy isn’t enough
4. How to perform stretches and myofascial release without hurting yourself
5. How to restore co-ordination and muscle balance
6. How to release the Dura Mater which protects the spinal cord in stubborn pain cases
7. How to reduce recovery time with 2 easy sessions in chronic pain cases and make the healing gentle and lasting

The principle of this release therapy is based on the ARNDT-SCHULZ LAW of pharmacology which emphasizes that gentle stimulation will enhance the physiological process of healing as opposed to strong stimulation which inhibits healing.

You will understand how Myofascial Release and  Muscle Energy Techniques ( Contract – relax/ isometric isolated stretches )  interrelate in reinforcing ease of movement and pain free mobilization permanently.

Research shows very good results with Fibromyalgia/Chronic fatigue patients and all chronic pain patients. This is a great first treatment before N.M.T.
Included is a medical Qi Gong meditation.
