AIS and MLT for Lumbar Spine, Hips and Knees

SUBJECT:
AIS and MLT for Lumbar Spine, Hips and Knees

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
30 Hands on Continuing Education Hours
Early registration ends April 12, 2014 After cost $475

Learn a whole-body dynamic technique for stretching muscles and fascia along fascial lines and specific to joint movement. Based on the principles of Active Isolated Stretching developed by Aaron Mattes, this stretching system restores greater joint mobility, reduces muscular and fascial tension, corrects aberrant neurological firing and dramatically increases blood and lymph circulation for faster healing from injury. Aaron’s discovery of the time sensitivity of the spindle cells makes this approach unique for stretching muscle and fascia. Each stretch is held for about 2 seconds to avoid triggering a myotactic stretch reflex. Repeated, active muscle contractions return restorative blood and lymphatic flow to the body decreasing inflammation and combating disease.
Leave class with the knowledge on how to stretch yourself and assist your clients. This class covers every stretch you need in order to treat a wide variety of disorders in the lumbar spine, hips and knees. The material presented addresses sciatica, groin impingement, S/I dysfunction, ITB syndrome, and other lower body disorders. The topics of stability and the myofascial meridians of Anatomy Trains® will also be covered.

Manual Ligament Therapy (MLT) uses the sensory qualities of ligaments to correct muscular and fascial imbalance / dysfunction by nearly eliminating hypertonicity gently and often within seconds. The end result is that clients feel better painlessly and with very little effort on the practitioner’s part.
MLT is a perfect precursor to ANY other treatment modality you enjoy using. Using MLT as a “primer”, before your other work will take you further, faster in helping your clients heal. Work smarter, not harder and experience the difference.
In this class you will learn a variety of releases for the lower body - the lumbar spine, hips and knees. This class covers all the protocols for these joints to give you an entire set of releases for taking care of your clients. This is part 1 of the 2 part series that covers the entire body, leading to basic certification.
This class is designed to be an adjunct to the AIS class that follows on Saturday and Sunday.
