November 5 & 6, 2010:   Advanced Myofascial Techniques:  Pelvis, Hip & Sacrum

Friday:  9:30AM-5:00PM; Saturday:  9:30AM-4:30PM

CE Hours:  14

Cost:  $260.00


This seminar presents practicing somatic therapists and qualified students with advanced and little-known myofascial techniques which can be easily incorporated into existing personal styles. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, the focus is on unusual, interesting, and fresh approaches that will both expand technique repertoire and inspire creativity and innovation. Potential topics include:  Specific techniques for common structural and functional complaints; Relieving pain, restoring lost function, and getting lasting results; Utilizing both active and passive movement to enhance effectiveness;  Precision in working with specific tissue types and body layers; Tracking subtle psycho-physiological and nervous system responses; and
Ways to work sensitively, safely, and comfortably at very deep levels.

In addition to in-person demonstrations and individualized hands-on supervision, our instructors use state-of-the-art instructional materials, including Primal Pictures' 3D Interactive Anatomy software. Class size and student/teacher ratio are kept small for maximum personal attention. Participants also receive a detailed course manual/note organizer with photos of techniques covered. Videos of instructor demonstrations are also available for post-workshop practice and review.
