Workshop Description
This three-day course focuses on learning specific techniques to influence the vocal mechanism and mechanics of swallowing. Strain-Counterstrain will be introduced alongside new Muscle Energy, Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release techniques. There will be a focus on learning to integrate these various tools. The use of Manual Therapy as evaluation to determine appropriate interventions will be emphasized. The areas of respiration and laryngeal function will be addressed as well as the jaw and palate.
We will also begin to incorporate the use of dialogue for connecting mind-body-emotions to voice and structure, which can allow for deeper healing. This system of dialogue is informed by the work of Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), as well as other mindfulness practices.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe at least 3 ways to influence the respiratory system with manual therapy.
- Explain Muscle Energy Technique and Strain Counterstrain and describe when to utilize them.
- Describe evaluation and treatment techniques using manual therapy and explain how this can help with voice and swallowing disorders.
- Describe which manual therapy techniques can be used to target muscles of mastication.
- Describe different ways to influence the laryngeal muscles using manual therapy.
- Apply Manual Therapy Evaluation and Treatment techniques as demonstrated.
