CONTINUING EDUCATION
Ortho-Bionomy Workshops: Upper Extremities & Ribcage (Phases 1-4)

16 NCBTMB Category "A" Contact Hours

Foundation Phase 4 (think 1-4) includes physical release techniques that resolve the underlying cause of muscular/structural imbalances using self-correcting reflexes that work in 10-90 seconds.  Facilitate the release of tension in muscles, tendons and ligaments, relieve pain without causing pain, and restore alignment and function.  Techniques provide deep relaxation, increase range of motion and flexibility, speed recovery from injury and promote health and overall well-being; increase awareness, circulation, and nervous system function in the process.

Instruction includes anatomy review, assessment, release techniques for acute and chronic tension and how to integrate changes for long-lasting benefit.  Body mechanics help the therapist maintain ease in their own body while helping clients. (Ortho-Bionomy Phase 4, 16 units)

Upper Extremities & Ribcage, some specifics:

• Eight tension points important to the structural integrity of shoulder and restoration of function after injury
• Mobilize and align the joints of shoulder and arm, including scapulae, clavicle, elbow, (including tendonitis/osis, tennis elbow and golf elbow), wrist and hand (important to carpal tunnel)   
• Release the forearm muscles without causing pain (“aaahhh,” massage therapists)
• Determine when muscular tension and hard to detect pain patterns in the back are caused by rib misalignment and how to alleviate it
• Free restrictions in the upper and lower ribcage, including sternum and diaphragm  
• Individual ribs, including raised rib, depressed rib, most common imbalances of 1st and 3rd ribs and their importance to carpal tunnel, freeing the breath, and overall well-being
• Release imbalances that contribute to thoracic outlet problems, restricted breathing, carpal tunnel and others
• The importance of the neck, ribcage and thoracic outlet in alleviating problems felt in the upper extremities will also be addressed.
