Classes

December 6-7, 2025
Recent evidence supporting the concept of biotensegrity and its relationship to the fascial system has challenged many of the traditional biomechanical principles taught in medical fields and our understanding of how manual therapy should be applied. This course will focus on how incorporating these new concepts into your manual therapy practice can dramatically improve treatment outcomes.

September 27-28, 2025
This course will focus on the vagus nerve, its branches, and their contribution to parasympathetic nervous system function and autonomic balance. We will examine the pathways of the right and left vagus nerves and the similarities and differences between them.

May 3-4, 2025
This course will discuss some of the common sources of headache. The class will present how to perform a thorough evaluation of the potential roots of headaches and various methods to treat the somatic dysfunctions that could be playing a role.

December 7-8, 2024
This class will discuss the role each segment of the spine from levels L3 through the Coccyx plays in movement and daily activities; autonomic nervous system imbalance; circulation; and gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive function. Parts 1 and 2 not required.

October 5-6, 2024
This class expands on previous class discussions and explains how biomechanical somatic dysfunctions, visceral restrictions, and the physiological function of the thorax are inter-related in order to promote a deeper understanding of all of them.

April 20-21, 2024
This class explains the multiple factors involved in the clinical decision making process, which will enable the therapist to choose the best treatment path.

December 2-3, 2023 - SOLD OUT
This class will discuss the role each segment of the spine from levels T5 through L2 plays in movement and daily activities; autonomic nervous system imbalance; circulation; and gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiac function. Part 1 not required.

September 30-October 1, 2023
This class will examine how proper motion of the musculoskeletal system integrates with the genitourinary structures and how disorders of either can be problematic.

October 2-3, 2021
This class will discuss how to incorporate treatment of the fascial layer into a manual therapy practice approach based on the recent transformative fascial research.

December 5, 2020

October 26-27, 2019
Many factors are important for the body to be able to achieve a healthful state and recover from an injury or illness.

July 27-28, 2019
