The UII Instructor is a practicing healthcare professional who has completed extensive teaching apprenticeship programs.
Few systems have as much impact on the human body as the craniosacral system. It protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord and affects nearly every aspect of central nervous system performance. Developed after years of university research and testing, it allows you to release fascial restrictions anywhere on the body that may be impinging on the craniosacral system and every other system it interacts with. In this workshop you’ll develop finely tuned palpation skills that will help you identify the subtle craniosacral rhythm and interpret its patterns to evaluate dysfunction and improvements. You’ll learn to apply CST to a number of common ailments such as TMJ dysfunction, head and neck pain, central nervous system disorders and many more conditions. By the end of the workshop you’ll have studied and practiced a 10-step Protocol that you can immediately incorporate into your practice to help eliminate stress, strengthen resistance to disease, and enhance health on every dimension.

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.
