COURSE HIGHLIGHTS VVMU:

• Review the anatomy and physiology of the vascular system, particularly how arteries dilate or diminish in diameter depending on the function of the body.
• Understand how compression along vascular structures creates restriction patterns and pain throughout the body.
• Learn to locate and release restrictions along the vascular structures using direct techniques on the arteries like compression, decompression and elongation, as well as indirect techniques using the limbs.
• Explore manipulation of the soft tissues of the heart itself, aorta, subclavian artery, along with all the arteries connected with the visceral system.
• Enhance your understanding of how increased blood circulation to an organ improves function of the viscera, and learn how to improve the blood      circulation to organs, directly and/or indirectly.
• Learn treatment of the vaso-pressive system and the brain.
• Discover the research done with doppler ultrasound to determine the best mobilizations of the arteries to improve local and general blood circulation.
• Learn practical integration of vascular treatment into the therapeutic session.

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS VVML:

• Focused Listening on the brain, nerves, vascular system and articulation.
• Deepen "listening skills" (palpation procedure) that help guide you to the proper manipulation site.
• Learn to interpret the information the body is offering regarding imbalances and dysfunctions.
• Explore through listening how to determine which body structures are involved, and identify the best approach for treatment results.
• Practice listening to the body systems, as they respond to your treatments.
• Learn to identify the correct approach and amount of force when working on different parts of the body and with different clients.
