The head and neck contain the skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, digestive and neural link between the brain and the rest of the body. Their freedom of movement (and its restrictive patterns) effect a wide range of our organism’s health and dysfunctions.

The muscles of the the jaw include some of the strongest, relative to their size, in the body (muscles of biting and chewing) and some of the some of the most delicate and subtle in their functions (the musculature of articulate speech).

In this three day workshop we’ll learn 

• How dysfunctional muscular patterns of the head, neck and jaw create distortions of the cranial bones and adversely restrict the freedom of their movement in the crania-sacral rhythms.

• How the muscles of chewing effect many dental problems?

• How the musculature of the mouth and throat shape the quality of our voice in verbal communications.

• How restrictions in the jaw and neck effect our lymphatic and immune systems.

“A+ Very calming manner, takes time to answer questions. He’s great one on one. I liked the chance to feel for myself what is happening in the body, very easy to follow. Teacher was unexpectedly hilarious, which made me feel less nervous.”
Marci Griffith, LMP
Fantastic. Love the easy going attitude and ability to make the student feel comfortable and at ease while learning new material. Great way to learn how to assess the body in a new way.
Amber Lopez, LMP
This class is up with the best-clear instruction and useful material. I will be able to apply what I have learned immediately. I liked the fact you are teaching us to view the body from the bones and joints to change our way of considering only muscles.
John Tuttle, LMP
Get ready for your mind to be, ‘blown!’ Excellent, great stuff! My only negative is my inability to remember everything, because I want to use it all! Great delivery and mastery of content! I never felt overwhelmed! Liked the ease of presentation, jokes, explanations, awesome!!
