PLEASE NOTE ** This is a combined Upper and Lower Body Visceral Course - covering BOTH the below courses.

​

UPPER Body (VVMU) Course Description

 

This course explores evaluation and treatment techniques for the vascular system of the body.

​​

Course Highlights

• 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.

​

Lower Body (VVML) Course Description

 

This course explores evaluation and treatment techniques for the vascular system of the lower body.

​

Course Highlights

• 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.

• Learn to locate and release restrictions along the vascular structures using direct techniques on the arteries like compression, decompression and elongation.

• Explore manipulation of the soft tissues of the arteries of the lower body such as the hepatic, splenic, femoral and popliteal.

• 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.

• Understand Barral's view of the knee as a 'neurological joint,' and the way to restore intelligence through improved blood flow.

• Learn invaluable techniques to use after trauma and post-surgery - when conventional musculoskeletal techniques give limited pain and functional relief.

• Discover the role of the vascular system in treatment post-pelvic, hip and knee surgery.

• Learn practical integration of vascular treatment into the therapeutic session.
