Visceral Manipulation: Visceral Vascular Manipulation: Lower Body (VVML)

This course explores evaluation and treatment techniques for the vascular system of the lower body.

Course Highlights:

• Review the anatomy and physiology of the vascular system, particularly how arteries dilate or diminish in diameter depending on the function of the body.
• Understand how compression along vascular structures creates restriction patterns and pain.
• Learn to locate and release restrictions along the vascular structures using direct techniques on the arteries like compression, decompression and elongation.
• Explore manipulation of the soft tissues of the arteries of the lower body such as the hepatic, splenic, femoral and popliteal.
• Enhance your understanding of how increased blood circulation to an organ improves function of the viscera, and learn how to improve the blood circulation to organs, directly and/or indirectly.
• Learn treatment of the vaso-pressive system and the brain.
• Discover the research done with doppler ultrasound to determine the best mobilizations of the arteries to improve local and general blood circulation.
• Understand Barral's view of the knee as a 'neurological joint,' and the way to restore intelligence through improved blood flow.
• Learn invaluable techniques to use after trauma and post-surgery - when conventional musculoskeletal techniques give limited pain and functional relief.
• Discover the role of the vascular system in treatment post-pelvic, hip and knee surgery.
• Learn practical integration of vascular treatment into the therapeutic session.
