This course combines manual therapy skills with the exciting new field of structural therapy, which employs the unique and newly researched properties of fascial tissues. Fascia, our biological fabric, plays a vital role in support, posture and stability. This course offers an assessment and demonstration of fascial patterns to help practitioners eradicate many of their clients' chronic strain patterns.

The Tensegrity Spine

This course examines the spine as a tensegrity truss – how the bones float within the myofascial balance. Assessment and techniques for freeing and balancing the spine address:

1. Anterior and posterior curvatures – lordosis and kyphosis

2. Side bends

3. Rotations (and counter-rotations)

4. Guy-wires on both the front and the back of the spine

5. Balancing trunk spinal work into the cervical spine and sacrum.
