DYNAMIC MOBILIZATIONS and HEADACHE & CONCUSSION

May 11 @ 9:00 am - May 12 @ 6:00 pm

$195.00 – $365.00
DYNAMIC MOBILIZATIONS (Sunday) is a new offering with different, complimentary content to other Trager courses. Go beyond passive and active range of motion by using the weight of the mobilized, relaxed body against changing hand fulcrums and waves of various amplitudes. This is similar to the combination of the fluid dynamics of breath and fingers playing a solo on a flute or saxophone. This approach allows for deep tissue access and clinical creativity and specificity without sacrificing a feeling of safety and comfort for client and therapist alike.

We’ll explore mobilizations for the whole body including neck, shoulder girdle, spine and pelvis. We’ll explore prone, supine and sidelying work, and explore somatics (Trager Mentastics) that bring greater presence for client and therapist.

Learn to:

• Impact joints, organs, fascia and fluids
• Increased proprioceptive reintegration
• determine restrictions three dimensionally
• simultaneously affect local and global change
• trauma informed touch promotes neuroceptive safety
• leverage the sensory-motor system for resolution of pain

 

 

HEADACHES & CONCUSSION (Monday)  many who suffer from headaches have histories of high intensity impact to the the neck and head including from MVA’s, extreme sport, other acute trauma, long term, low grade deforming impacts, and more. While these patients may vary in headache presentation, they often share a common thread of excessive force and subsequent compression to the structures of the face, head, neck, jaw and cervical spine.

 

Even skillful massage often leads to temporary results, due to muscle dominant treatments that only affect certain contributors to the problem. The most effective treatments use a range of palpatory approaches with a variety of  structures, differentiate types of tenderness, grades and causes of hypertonicity, and their contributions at different segments.

 

We’ll learn an array of soft tissue techniques and approaches to release locked in, compressive forces from the cervical spine, jaws, face and cranium, differentiating, and minimizing these forces on chronic headache presentations. Assessment and techniques focus on myofascia, joints, sutures, and bones, with special focus on the upper cerivcal spine and cranial helmet. We will also rule in or rule out contributions from the thorax and below and look at treatments to address them, when relevant.
