Based on the recently released book of the same title, the Fascial Release for Structural
Balance (FRSB) series is a short intensive course limited to specific anatomy and heavy on manual soft-tissue technique.

Each course focuses on 15 – 20 core ‘templates’ for technique, which can be applied in different ways for different patterns in your clients. We will teach you the relevant structural anatomy for the area and the common postural and movement implications around each of them. The short lectures utilize many new and previously unseen teaching resources to illustrate the information in a fun, exciting and, most importantly, understandable fashion.

The courses fully explain the intent and scope of each technique and will give you plenty of time to master it and experiment with the many possible variations. We will ensure that you can apply these very effective ideas and execute them in your treatments the following day.

Objectives

To teach functional and structural regional anatomy that will build into a full body picture of how body operates as both local and as a global tensegrity structure.

The main focus of the series will be to create a modern approach to Bodywork incorporating appropriate techniques according to the tissue type and the apparent dysfunction. The main emphasis will be with Fascial Release Techniques along with Structural and Functional Assessments, to ensure a modern, individual and accurate treatment plan is created.

About This Workshop

The trunk must act to support the shoulders as well as the neck and head. We look at the position of the thorax and relationship with the pelvis and how balancing those areas can be vital for correct mechanics of the upper limbs and head, neck and jaw issues.

In this driving day and computer age, the arms get unique usage these days. Requiring a complex equation of stability versus mobility to balance correctly on the rib cage, the shoulders can easily be used to compensate for thoracic and cervical deviations or be the cause for them. This can lead to issues travelling down into the arms and hands, up into the neck and jaw or even into the spine and rib cage.

You will learn to recognize ‘ideal’ and compensated patterns and how to tie them into the story of the rest of the body. This will allow you to see what work needs to be done to create lasting results for this area.

This course travels from the thorax to the shoulder and into the neck giving techniques for each region over the course of the workshop:

1. Techniques for abdominal fasciae, ribs, vertebral rib joints, and mediastinal visceral tissues, scalenes, and lumbar muscles
2. Techniques for facilitation of the ‘breath wave’ into the front, back, and sides, as well as into each ‘quadrant’ of the rib cage
3. Assessing and addressing the reciprocal relationship between the diaphragm and the pelvic floor
4. Techniques for balancing the shoulder girdle on the rib cage
5. Soft-tissue techniques for the shoulder muscles and releases for each joint of the shoulder
6. Techniques for scalenes & colli muscles
7. The sub-occipital muscles, the laminar groove and deep cervical muscles.
