VISCERAL NEUROLOGY APPLIED TO THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM – A POTTENGERS APPROACH
The practice of manual therapies is a continuous attempt on the part of the practitioner to understand the manner in which the patient expresses disease through their physiologic systems. This class will go into deep detail of the neurological segmentation of the spine as it relates to control and function of the specific visceral organ.

DIAPHRAGMATIC FUNCTION AND DYSFUNCTION – INFLUENCES BELOW THE DIAPHRAGM – PART 2
Diaphragmatic dysfunction has a profound influence on the health and wellness of our patients. This class continues the concepts brought forth in the series one class of last year. Diaphragmatic dysfunction can be the result of many factors, including: lumbar mechanics, muscular imbalances, abdominal surgeries and many more factors.

ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF THE UPPER AND LOWER CERVICAL SPINE
The goal of this class is to present the arthrokinematics of motion of the upper and lower cervical spine as it applies to both normal and dysfunction movement pattern. Upper cervical biomechanics and lower cervical biomechanics will be differentiated so as to have a clearer understanding of pain pattern presentation.

The thoracic cage is one of the most complicated areas in a manual practice. Understanding this area separates you from your peers. This course gives the participant an appreciation of the interrelationships of the various components of the thoracic cage. Emphasis is on the effect of dysfunction on the entire mechanism as it relates to overall health.

INTEGRATED UPPER EXTREMITY IN SPORT AND WORKPLACE
Integrated function of the cervical and thoracic, scapular, clavicular and costal structures are addressed in lecture and laboratory sessions. Integrated biomechanics, anatomy and embryology, in relation to dysfunction patterning in the work place and sports activities are also covered.

Dr. Travell defined a Trigger Point as “a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band. The spot is tender when pressed and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena.

MANUAL ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF THE LOWER EXTREMITY
The goal of this class is to present concepts of how the body uses ground forces in the kinetic chain, and produces motion in the walk cycle. We will cover the fascial planes and how they transmit forces from the ground to the cranium.

POTTENGER/SEGMENTAL VISCERAL
The practice of manual therapies is a continuous attempt on the part of the practitioner to understand the manner in which the patient expresses disease through their physiologic systems. This class will go into deep detail of the neurological segmentation of the spine as it relates to control and function of the specific visceral organ.

TMJ, TRIGEMINAL AND UPPER CERVICAL SPINE – A MANUAL THERAPY APPROACH
The TMJ, Trigeminal, Upper Cervical Spine are interconnected both mechanically and physiologically. New research points to the sympathetic arm of the Trigeminal nerve being more problematic in inflammatory conditions.

TRAVEL TRIGGER POINT & STRAINCOUNTERSTRAIN – AN OSTEOPATHIC APPROACH
Dr. Travell defined a Trigger Point as “a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band. The spot is tender when pressed and can give rise to characteristic referred pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena.
