BALANCING THE LIFE FORCE - CONNECTIVE TISSUE TECHNIQUES FOR THE UPPER BODY

*** Prerequisite: Fascia Fundamentals (unless you have taken classes with me in the past)

This course will be held:

Tuesday 5/11 from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (one hour break for lunch) - Trunk, rib cage, and spine

Wednesday 5/12 from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (one hour break for lunch) - Shoulder girdle and arms

Thursday 5/13 from: 9:00 AM - Noon - Cervical spine and skull

Discover how the soft tissues of the torso support movement of the rib cage and spine; creating space that encourages breath and supports both heart and lung function — the two essentials for life. Just as the legs extend from the pelvis, the shoulders and arms extend from the rib cage, we'll follow that same thread outward: exploring the central nervous system's role in movement, tension patterns, and the body's capacity to heal — addressing and treating common pathologies including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, thoracic outlet syndrome, and tendinopathies of the arm joints.

Students will:

Gain deeper knowledge of the anatomy and connective tissue relationships of the torso, thorax, shoulder girdle, and skull
Develop postural assessment skills of the upper body
Explore the most common structural problems and injuries of the upper body
Evaluate and execute the best treatment strategies for the above conditions
Perform and demonstrate connective tissue techniques for the torso, thorax, and shoulder gird
