Manual therapists, mark your calendars. The next Biomechanics 1-day workshop is in Ottawa on Saturday, November 22.
This workshop is for any type of manual therapist - Bowen, massage, osteopath, physio - as well as those who have "tried everything," are still in pain, and want to learn if misalignment is their issue. You'll need a basic knowledge of muscle anatomy.
Or ask your favourite massage therapist to learn this to help you!
In this seven (7) hour hands-on workshop you will learn:
-anatomy of the lumbar spine, pelvis, hip and knee joints and attached muscles, and the major nerves that pass through them;
-types of innominate (ilium) rotations (4) and upslips (2);
-types of muscle damage;
-the principle of tensegrity (how the body’s muscles interact as a structural system);
-the biomechanical impacts of muscle tension, compression, torsion, and vector (force in a specific direction) acting on the bones;
-a three minute assessment procedure combined with palpation to quickly identify pelvis rotations and upslips, and the muscles causing that misalignment;
-an effective manual technique to address leg, iliopsoas and lumbar muscle damage (and relieve pain quickly); and
-a step-by-step strategy to assess and treat a client with a complex combo of muscles that are damaged, over-stretched, and/or locked in contraction.
