All courses can be completed individually

Courses

1. Pelvis (Basic)

Like the name suggests, this course is the first and basic course. It lays down the philosophy of the concept and provides the participants with a general idea of the treatment.
It incorporates basic training in taping, body-reading, myofascial release work, differential diagnostics of radicular symptoms and the joints around the middle of the body (ISJ, Symphysis, hip)
Some time will naturally be devoted to the muscles stretching to the trunk and the leg (for example: latissimus dorsi, quadratus lumborum, iliopsoas)
After the course, the participant will understand the function of the pelvis, it’s primary role in the body and will be able to treat it

2. Thorax / Shoulder

This course focuses on functions of the thorax (rotation), shoulder-dysfunction and postural problems
Contents are the joints of the thoracic spine, the shoulder and the arms, more body-reading, understanding of shoulder-kinematics, thoracic-outlet-syndroms and treatment and taping of all major muscles on thorax, shoulder arms and fascia
After the course, the participant will understand the connections between thorax, shoulder, breathing and posture and will be able to restore the functions of thorax and shoulder

3. Legs & Arms

This course focuses on the lower extremity and gait -> walking
Contents are foot-mechanics, knowledge about the function of the knee and the foot-joints, treatment and taping of all the major leg-muscles and fascia
Also we will talk about thoracic-outlet-problems leading to carpal-tunnel-syndrome, epicondylitis, tendovaginitis, paresthesia and how to release these structures
After the course, the participant will be able to understand the patient’s problems with walking and be able to restore most of the function of the leg and fore-arms
