Myofascial Release and Mobilization - Level 1

Date: July 24 - 25, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Myofascial release is a unique, whole body approach, which focuses on the entire connective tissue (fascial) system to successfully treat long standing chronic pain, postural problems and movement restriction/discomfort that resist other conventional treatments.

This very non-invasive and highly effective approach to manual and massage therapy is based upon the work of John Barnes, PT who made an amazing contribution to the growth and development of the Healing Arts by making his knowledge and skills accessible to countless therapists throughout the world. Jocelyn Has trained with John Barnes PT., as well as his highly creative and gifted protégé, Claudia Scrivener, PT. Jocelyn will present fundamental anatomy and physiology, assessment and treatment principles and wide variety of applications for different areas and many of the most common chronic musculoskeletal dysfunctions. She guarantees a direct and individual hands-on experience in this course to assure that each student will be able to work with the client’s fascia, like a sculptor, to find and release the specific areas that are the causes of these problems, allowing the body to restore itself to a healthy state. Myofascial Release compliments all other massage and manual therapy techniques for optimal results!

Paradoxical Myo Rythmic Release Workshop Level 1

Date: December 5 - 6, 2009 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Jocelyn's innovative approach to soft tissue treatment was greatly inspired by her 40 year career as a dancer and dance instructor.
It combines elements of Trager, Korean Relaxation, Passive Range of Motion, Trigger Point Therapy and Passive Release Technique to allow profound release without tissue damage or discomfort.
A joy for both therapist and client, this technique also teaches the client to associate release of pain and tension with healthy and natural movement patterns.

MUSCLE ENERGY ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT

Vertebral Column
Pelvis/Sacrum
Ribs (Pre-requisite Vertebral Column)

Muscle Energy Technique is a gentle, non-invasive form of Neuromuscular Therapy, wherein optimal function is restored to joints whose normal range have been restricted due to shortening and spasm of the surrounding musculature. Assessment includes range of motion and palpation testing. The methods used to restore normal muscle length and function are active isometric and isotonic contractions. The results are immediate and verifiable through reassessment.
