Then we begin evaluating the fascial network at key locations to identify stress or dysfunction. Topics will include osteopathic concepts that relate to our therapy methods\, and how to apply those concepts in assessment and treatment. Understanding the relationship between concept and technique is key to obtaining optimal results. \nThe second day begins with grounding and centering to refine our perception. Then we assess tension patterns and fascial pulls in the lower extremities\, upper extremities\, and torso. By applying what we have learned to different layers of tissue\, we will literally be “following the fascia” to the dominant restriction. Finally\, we pull everything together to practice assessment and treatment. This training will expand your skill in any method of bodywork. \nThis course evolves as I evolve.

This class is an introduction to the art and science of manual resistive muscle testing (based on applied kinesiology). Participants will learn to locate muscular imbalance and correct it quickly using integrative massage techniques. Topics include tests for dehydration and hypotonicity\, as well as evaluation of key muscles throughout the body. We even include a simple and remarkably effective treatment for emotional stress. Massage therapists deal with muscle imbalance almost every day and it can be causing or perpetuating a wide range of other problems. Join us and learn fast\, easy ways to resolve it. \nOne of the treatment techniques covered in The Kinesiology Connection is neuro-lymphatic reflexes (Chapmann’s reflexes)\, a powerful method for treating muscular dysfunction and also valuable for self care. Participants will get ample practice with this technique. This class is an excellent preparation for those who want to go on to more extensive study in Touch For Health Kinesiology. \nNo Prerequisites \nCore benefits\nLearn to perform accurate muscle testing.

This class is an introduction to the art and science of manual resistive muscle testing (based on applied kinesiology). Participants will learn to locate muscular imbalance and correct it quickly using integrative massage techniques. Topics include tests for dehydration and hypotonicity\, as well as evaluation of key muscles throughout the body. We even include a simple and remarkably effective treatment for emotional stress. Massage therapists deal with muscle imbalance almost every day and it can be causing or perpetuating a wide range of other problems. Join us and learn fast\, easy ways to resolve it. \nOne of the treatment techniques covered in The Kinesiology Connection is neuro-lymphatic reflexes (Chapmann’s reflexes)\, a powerful method for treating muscular dysfunction and also valuable for self care.
