UPCOMING SEMINARS
The program consists after an anatomo-biomechanical review of the spine, to study the tests, evaluations and detection of lesions, then the different techniques of normalizations to answer the different lesions.
These complex methodologies are based on a tensegrity model of biomechanics. If these methods are not applied correctly, the therapist becomes ineffective and can put the patient/client at risk.
Over the course of 4 seminars (4 days each) we will explore in detail lesion mechanics, as well as the precise diagnostic tests before any correction. The final course is a review of all incorporating C0/1/2 and higher concepts.
Each seminar is dependent on one another. The practitioner will acquire a large number of applicable techniques for use in their clinic. The practical portion of the course will include demonstrations and practice treatment sessions to control the lumbar spine.
General: the pelvis and its orthopedic importance in relationship to the anterior-posterior axes (AP axes).
Review of the 22 major axes of the pelvis: description, injury mechanisms, visceral and orthopedic functional implications, etc.
Review ap axis and dependent structural normalization of the oblique axes: description and H1, 2, 3 review and applied.
Fascial normalization of the pelvis
Review tests on all the axes; test dependent of the AP axes
Structural normalization of the AP axes.
Para-clinical examinations (X-rays, MRI…)
Application: clinical cases, 2D, X-ray and MRI.

There will be 2 Limbology courses; one for the upper limb and one for the lower limb.
In each of these courses, the joints will be studied with a tensegrity biomechanics, a relational anatomy and some pathological examples.
The 2TLS of the upper and lower limbs are studied, both at the level of muscle tendons and articular ligaments.
In application, we will see the tensegrity mobilizations and structural manipulations.
2TLS of tendons and ligaments of the Lower Limb
Relational Anatomy of the Lower Limb
Tensegrity Biomechanics of the Lower Limb
Tensegrity Mobilization of the Lower Limb
Structural Normalization of the Lower Limb
Review and dependent considerations of the 22 main axes of the pelvis: description, injury mechanisms, visceral etc. orthopedic, functional implications,...
Analysis and explanations of all anatomical relationships of the pelvis with viscera (digestive, gynecological and bladder).
Standardization and treatment of the pelvic digestive dysfunctions.
Standardization and treatment of the pelvic bladder dysfunctions.
Standardization of approaches and treatments of gynecologic pelvic dysfunctions.
Application: Clinical Cases
