Workshop Philosophy

This Manual Therapy programme aims to facilitate a clinical approach presented from a broad perspective with respect for the integration of articular, muscular, fascial and neurogenic structures. Emphasis is given to the new insights of connective tissue.  Functional anatomy and kinesiology of the ventral and dorsal slings are intensively studied and the role of fascia structures are discussed in a new perspective.

This MTFI workshop provides a critical insight into the complex anatomy and function of the musculo- fascia-skeletal system. The course facilitates analysing the mechanism behind possible dysfunctions, providing new clinical skills to enhance rehabilitation strategies and to treat the dysfunctions.

 




CONTENTS OF MODULE II-A (Manual Therapy Techniques on Muscle Energy Techniques, Myofascial Release Techniques and High Velocity Thrust Techniques)

Course Benefits:
This course facilitates the identification of muscular imbalances, the fascial concepts and the various joint dysfunctions. In present day many patients come with trigger points along with muscular and fascial tightness. The MET and MFR techniques are very useful for correcting the muscular and fascial dysfunctions. The High Velocity Thrust techniques are excellent techniques to correct several articular dysfunctions of vertebral region, pelvic complex and peripheral joints.

Course Contents:

Introduction: 3 Hrs 
Hand posture and skills, Contact points of manipulators hand, Flicking Techniques ( Triceps flick, Double triceps flick, Wrist flick), Thrusts(Pectoralis thrust, Shoulder arm pull thrust, Body drop), Concept of somatic dysfunction, Rhythmic Techniques( articulation and springing, Low velocity stress techniques, Modifying factors in techniques.

Muscle Energy Techniques (Fred Mitchell's Concept): 10 Hrs 
Introduction to MET. Definitions of MET. Mechanism. Patterns of function and dysfunction (Vladimir Janda concept of postural and Phasic muscles). Methods of using MET. Sequence of assessment and treatment of Muscular dysfunctions. MET and joint treatments.

Myofascial Release Techniques: 09 Hrs 
Definition of MFR, Classification (Direct & Indirect, Intrinsic & Extrinsic), Description of fascia [Basic techniques (Feedback, Stretch, Hold, Release, End-feel)], concept of postural and phasic muscles (Vladimir Janda's concept), MFR treatment concepts [POE(T)], Steps to MFR, MFR Techniques (Stroke release, strum release, Focus strum, Dural tube stretch and combination stretch.

High Velocity Thrust Techniques:
10 Hrs 
Introduction about HVT, Cavitation mechanism, Indications, Contraindications. HVT Techniques for cervical spine, Thoracic spine, Lumbar spine and Sacroiliac joint. TMJ and peripheral joints.

CONTENTS OF MODULE: II-B ( Manual Therapy Techniques on Positional Release Techniques, Lymphatic Manipulations and Craniosacral Therapy)

Course Benefits:
The positional release techniques are useful to treat acute pain in muscles and joints. The lymphatic manipulation techniques are useful to facilitate the lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic drainage gets affected in case of chronic involvement of joints and skeletal muscles. In craniosacral therapy the therapist gently work with the spine,the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms and fascia. In this way, the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is said to be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapy is used  to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.

Course Contents:

Positional Release Techniques: 10 Hrs
History, Definitions (Jones, Glover and Yates & Roth), Physiology of PRT (Proprioception-Neuromuscular feedback, Nociception-pain pathway, Facilitated segment with neural crosstalk, Fascial dysfunction, Jone's discoveries, Concept of Counter-strain, Indications for PRT, Basic steps to treat counterstrain, Treatment techniques for various muscles and joints using PRT.

Lymphatic Manipulations: 10 Hrs 
Palpation of lymphatic rhythm. Release of fascia and viscera with lympho-fascia release (LFR), Release of interstitial fluid, Release of body articulation (synovial fluid), Drainage of the pia and dura, brain ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord.

Craniosacral Manipulations: 12 Hrs
Palpation: gross-subtle, active-passive, Three rhythms; heart, breathing and craniosacral. Palpation during flexion and extension phase, still point during CV4, CST as semi-closed hydraulic system. Primary respiratory mechanism, Articular mobility of the cranial bones, Mobility of the cranial and spinal dural membranes, Mobility of the central nervous system. Fluctuations of the Cerebrospinal fluid, Treatment techniques (Frontal lift, parietal lift, sphenoid compression and decompression, temporal mobilizations).
