Course Content

In this workshop, you will learn practical and effective approaches for finding and treating chronic cervical and pelvic dysfunctions that influence upper and lower limb neurological pain problems. More specifically, you’ll learn neurological tensioning and neural flossing techniques to improve common neuropathies such as sciatica and thoracic outlet. Many of these neurological compressions can mimic sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions such as golfers and tennis elbow, carpal and tarsal tunnel, plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

Our goal is to enhance your skills, improve your results, and build your practice to a level of excellence that goes beyond the standard expectation of what can be achieved through bodywork. Be prepared for outstanding results, even with long standing chronic conditions!
