 “Most of us prefer harmony, but we may need the repatterning that disharmony can stimulate”

-Margaret E. Newman – nursing theorist

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 neuromuscular trigger point techniques as well as the boredom of endless repetitive massages. We will focus on a comprehensive approach that is safe, cost efficient and effective. Instead of focusing on  spot work and isolated muscle groups we  approach the client from a body- mind -spirit viewpoint

AREAS OF EXPERTISE TAUGHT:

• Postural Fascial Release

The principle of this release therapy is based on the ARNDT- SCHULZ LAW of pharmacology, which states that : GENTLE STIMULATION ENHANCES THE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS OF HEALING,BUT STRONG STIMULATION STOPS AND REVERSES THE PROCESS OF THE BODY  HEALING ITSELF.

Myofascial Release and Muscle Energy Techniques complement many therapies and are used, for example  in treating pain ( emotional and physical ),movement restrictions, migraines, headaches, neuropathies, scolosis, kyphosis, TMJ dysfunctions, traumatic and surgical scarring,menstrual and pelvic pain and dysfunctions.
