VM5: Manual Thermal Evaluation and VisceroEmotional Relationships
VM5 April 10-13, 2025 Palm Beach, Florida
Teacher/Presenter:
Description:
Manual Thermal Evaluation and VisceroEmotional Relationships (VM5) combines two powerful evaluation methods developed by Jean-Pierre Barral. It is designed to deepen your understanding of the intricate connection between the body and mind. This advanced course empowers therapists with the tools to understand the interconnection of physical and emotional dysfunctions, and the role manual therapy plays in providing comprehensive care.
Developed by Jean-Pierre Barral, Manual Thermal Evaluation is an evaluation method utilizing sensitivity to temperature changes to identify dysfunction within the body. It is useful across a wide spectrum of health disciplines and augments other forms of evaluation. Barral developed this 'topographical map' of the physical structures that we have been learning in the previous levels. He developed this 'map' with the assistance of engineers and a physicist who helped him design a thermal scanner that measures 'heat' coming off the body - infrared heat that helps identify dysfunctional tissues within the body. This measuring tool validated Barral's hands for this 'off the body' scanning for dysfunction, as well as emotional connections tied to the physical dysfunctions.
Energetic Listening builds on the principles of Visceral Manipulation, focusing on the ability to palpate and assess subtle changes in the body’s tissues. This part of the course focuses on listening to the 'messages of the body' and using precise techniques to help release the soft tissues, which in turn have been shown to discharge stored emotional energy. You'll learn how to identify whether a restriction in the soft tissues is primarily structural or emotional, or a combination of both, and how to release the tissues, thereby facilitating a holistic effect.
Research has demonstrated for years now the effect that emotions have in relation to dysfunctions in the body. For instance, children who live in stressful home environments develop ulcers at an age as early as six. Barral says, 'The mind likes to use the organs and the plexi as an outlet.' We have learned in previous levels VM1-VM4 that there is a somato-visceral component linking structure to the viscera. As the mind discharges emotions to the organs, this causes feedback via the nervous system back to the spine. So, again, what may present as a biomechanical dysfunction can also have an emotional relationship.
