It combines the best of traditional neuromuscular, myofascial, positional release, trigger point and somatic release therapies. It incorporates some cranio-sacral and energy medicines as well. All of this is put into an overall context of who and how the therapist shows up and is present to the work with the client, seeing the whole as well as the parts. It is anatomically specific and can be incorporated into a therapist’s practice immediately. It focuses on the physical, emotional and spiritual well being of both the client and therapist. It supports the therapist in expanding his or her client base and income through the successful and confident application of manual therapy.
