BOOK - When you sought help for your mental or emotional problems, did your doctor or therapist ask about your gut health? Or when you sought help for your gut problems, did you doctor or therapist ask about your emotional or mental journey through life?

LEARNING TOOL - Total
Body Balancing (TBB) is a specifically designed curriculum that uses a
maximal approach to evaluate and treat the Total Body Lesion. Expanding
on the teachings/ works of John Wernham DO and based on the principle of
holism, TBB teaches a criterion-based Total Body Evaluation and a Five
Phase Treatment Approach that uses long levers (arms, legs, head/neck,
or torso) to release lines of tension throughout the entire
musculoskeletal system (muscle, fascia, joint capsules, and ligaments)
and balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. This
long lever rhythmic mobilization influences ALL body systems (lymphatic,
visceral, craniosacral, myofascial, and musculoskeletal systems)
improving general circulation, modulating the nervous system, and
opening energetic flow.
BOOK - Visceral Manipulation for Female Pelvic Disorders - Manual Therapists and Osteopaths are challenged in their everyday practices to assess and treat patients affected by pelvic floor disorders. Recurring referral diagnoses may be related to functional disorders (urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, infertility), hormonal physiology (puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause), or related to consequences associated with specific surgical and/or infectious disease processes. The intrapelvic soft tissues are continuously stimulated and mobilized due to respiratory, urinary, genital, and intestinal functions; similarly, the urogenital organs are in constant motion. This book is based on the most common pelvic disorders encountered in clinical practice, and provides practitioners with key treatments to aid with patient care and recovery.
