Carrie Taylor – Advanced Classes

Day 1: Neurology Cervical Plexus

This Neurology hands-on class will be anatomy, physiology and palpation based, with assessment & treatment of upper body nerves and their possible entrapment sites. The cervical and brachial plexi will be covered, with a focus on which muscles and structures each nerve supplies, and what dysfunctions may arise if these nerves become compressed or compromised. In addition, relevant assessment strategies followed by
possible myofascial and osseous treatment options for these pathologies will be practiced in the hands-on portion of the workshop.

Day 2: Neurology Brachial Plexus

This Neurology hands-on class will be anatomy, physiology and palpation based, with assessment & treatment of upper body nerves and their possible entrapment sites. The cervical and brachial plexi will be covered, with a focus on which muscles and structures each nerve supplies, and what dysfunctions may arise if these nerves become compressed or compromised. In addition, relevant assessment strategies followed by
possible myofascial and osseous treatment options for these pathologies will be practiced in the hands-on portion of the workshop.

Day 3: Visceral Release part 2: Advanced Facial Approaches

Myofascial release work is extremely effective in improving visceral tone, motility, & mobility, as well as decreasing the symptoms of many digestive disorders, speeding recovery from abdominal surgeries, & smoothing the look of plastic surgery scarring, among other beneficial effects. This two part class is an in depth look at how to assess the organs, both posturally and palpatively, as well as a discussion of the autonomic nervous system, and how it impacts proper functioning of the viscera. Indications & Contra-indications for visceral treatment specific to each organ are covered, based on a thorough evaluation of the possible contribution the organs may have to parietal (body wall) symptoms.

In Part 2 we review Sympathetic/Parasympathetic balancing treatment concepts learned in Part 1, then continue with treatment of the Liver, the main detoxifying organ of the body, that filters the digestive blood among many other important functions. The accessory organ to the LR, the Gallbladder, is also covered, with assessment & treatment modalities making up the entire class. Palpative sensitivity is cultivated, so that each therapist gains confidence in applying the techniques learned.

Building on superficial and deep scar tissue treatment, we will be focused specifically on abdominal tissue, and gaining access to this sensitive area with patient consent and compliance. Somatoemotional release is also addressed, as this area is quite often associated with stored emotional energy, due to past or current trauma. Patient trust and building a committed and engaged therapeutic relationship even within the context of one treatment session, is imperative to successful patient outcomes.
