  • Manual Therapies for Surgeries, Scars, and Burns with Peter Whitridge--18 CEUs
Deepen your therapy skills by examining how manual therapies can positively affect scars from surgeries, trauma or burns and become an important adjunct for home care and tissue healing for your clients. The use of gentle manipulations, guided active movements, and hydrotherapies can help clients develop skills to adapt and cope with scarred and traumatized tissues. This class is designed to help you expand your knowledge about the effects of touch on the human body and explore the physical and emotional aspects of this very personal client issue.

  • Anatomy Trains: Tensegrity Spine with Debra Dower--14 CEUs
The Structural Essential series is a set of intensive soft-tissue technique courses divided into functional regions. Combining movement and manual techniques for the most efficient and long-lasting results and using the latest research on the interaction between skeleton, muscles, joints, and fascial proprioceptors, this series of workshops will take you to a new level in therapy. Designed with the busy manual therapist in mind, each Structural Essentials event gives you a new understanding of the relevant area. The content will outline how the structural and functional anatomy relates to many common issues as well as to the rest of the body. Based on many new and established approaches this series will give you the skills in palpation, BodyReading and functional analysis needed for the modern multidisciplinary therapist. This course examines the spine as a tensegrity truss – how the bones float within the myofascial balance.
