$900 total ($400 deposit required to hold your space)

The concept of Lemniscate, and how it relates to normal mechanics and treatment principles

  • A detailed look at all five portions of both the long arm and short arm of sacro-ilial and ilio-sacral joint, and how to hydrate these
· Intra-osseous restrictions via embryologic, traumatic and stress lines of force

  • Hip joint health and ligament/capsule hydration

  • Why treatment of the pelvic floor is crucial to normal walking mechanics and cranio-sacral breathing

  • The coccyx’s relation to head and neck problems, and why your “tail” should wag when you walk!

While Ron focuses on a deeper understanding of the details of anatomy, and how principles of treatment can be used across the whole body, you will learn techniques that go along with all of these concepts. As you practice the techniques in your office, you will come to understand the principles at a deeper level, and will begin to understand the osteopathic paradigm of assessment and treatment of a human being.

Intra-osseous restrictions via embryologic, traumatic and stress lines of force of lower extremities

  • Fibula spirals will be explored inter- and intra-osseously in dynamic energy storage and shock absorption in the walk cycle

  • The concept of lemniscate in relation to walking cycle mechanics and treatment

  • Lauren Berry’s concept of tissue misplacement and how it relates to Ida Rolf’s statement of, “Put it in place and call for movement”

  • A detailed look at Knee/Ankle/Fibula mechanics

  • Interosseous membrane details
    -Meniscus treatment

This class is essential to the deeper understanding of the anatomy of these joints. Building both of the joints out of clay is a real eye-opener to how the mechanics of the joints relate to the entire body. This class is essential to understanding the details of both of these joints. You will become proficient at seeing and feeling the different compensation patterns in the walking cycle, and grow more adept at treating these and restoring normal biomechanics. Ron does a great job of weaving his knowledge of embryology into this class, helping students to see how different therapies overlap, and teaching students to assess and treat at the micro and macro levels.
