Assessment of Structural Relationships between Viscera, and their Fascial or Ligamentous Attachments to the Musculoskeletal System
Date/Location:
Date: June 16-19, 2023 - Saskatoon, SK

Description: VM assists functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive and lymphatic dysfunction. It evaluates and treats the dynamics of motion and suspension in relation to organs, membranes, fascia and ligaments. VM increases proprioceptive communication within the body, thereby revitalizing a person and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture.
An integrative approach to evaluation and treatment of a patient requires assessment of the structural relationships between the viscera, and their fascial or ligamentous attachments to the musculoskeletal system. Strains in the connective tissue of the viscera can result from surgical scars, adhesions, illness, posture or injury. Tension patterns form through the fascial network deep within the body, creating a cascade of effects far from their sources for which the body will have to compensate. This creates fixed, abnormal points of tension that the body must move around, and this chronic irritation gives way to functional and structural problems.

“Nikki has more than 25 years teaching experience as a successful dance teacher and studio owner. Her personal injury and chronic pain has made her a very empathetic and personally knowledgeable teacher of Somatics. Her over 40 years of the study in the field of dance has given her valuable knowledge about the body and movement. She is outgoing, warm, and approachable, which makes everyone around her feel comfortable. Our students and teachers love the energy she brings with her as well as her personal knowledge and teaching skills.
I highly recommend Nikki as an instructor. The program she has created -Somatic Exercise Teacher Training- is an excellent course. It is put together well and it will ensure that those taking it will be gifted with the ability to not only teach the exercises to others, but they will be able to use the somatic exercises for their own personal practice. I give her my highest recommendation.”
