This course details the pathophysiology of this joint and its associated soft tissue. The primary focus is the unique technique of treating the Pterygoid muscles with the use of vibrations. MT's will also learn the use of cranial-sacral in assisting the patient back to a normal function of this joint. This course focuses on the release of the fascial integration of the QL's, Obliques and Ilio-psoas in the treatment of low back pain. This course focuses on treating patients diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, victims of emotional, sexual and physical abuse and those individuals who have lost a loved one.
Treatment includes connective tissue massage, adverse tension neural release and acupressure.
The MT learns the safe use of TU and how to reduce the load on their hands when performing DTM in areas like the QL,s, Iliotibial band, etc. . I thought I had learnt enough at Massage College to treat everyday conditions, but Richard Gibbon has a way of assessing and pin-pointing the injury like no other therapist I know. His techniques for treating these conditions weren't even in my textbooks from school. His teaching has made a big difference in my treatments. Dr. Olga Norets has studied and researched the neurolgical patterning in the body and brings to her course specific techniques that enhance the reflexive potential of the auricular nerve patterns, which in turn help optimize the body's natural healing potential.
