This material can also be found in OB100. Textbook not required Exploration of Movement Patterns adds a dynamic dimension to the positional release techniques. Participants will learn to recognize and palpate patterns of joint and muscle movement in order to facilitate increased range of motion and to promote a general sense of well being in the body.

This conscious use of obstacles promotes change from stasis to mobility, and is beneficial in a variety of situations.
