Workshops

Discover how integrating Polyvagal Theory into your manual therapy clinic can transform client care. Our NEW cutting-edge course explores physiological states and coregulation, essential aspects of human development. By understanding these physiological states, you’ll expand your therapeutic capabilities and gain a deeper understanding of your clients. Our focus on Fascial Listening enables you to pinpoint and address physical and functional issues effectively.

PVMT1 course highlights include:
~The history, principles, and application of Polyvagal Theory in manual therapy
~Practical techniques for neural, vascular and myofascial treatments
~How to integrate minimally stimulated areas to achieve overall homeostasis
~Methods to regulate physiological states using soft tissue manipulation
~Body palpation skills to reintegrate isolated or dysfunctional regions
~Effective application of myofascial and neural manual therapy techniques
~Patient assessment skills to identify physiological states and dysfunctional areas
~Empower your practice with cutting-edge techniques and become a leader in holistic health care

PVMT2 course highlights include:
Explore deeper the principles introduced in PVMT1 and new, sensitive areas such as the middle cerebral artery, its connections with the insula and the circle of Willis, and the vital vascular link between the brain and the heart. We'll examine trauma in its full complexity, the biology of dependencies, and the clinical applications of the Polyvagal Theory. Enhance your understanding of the cranial parasympathetic system and its functions.

Our discussions will cover the skull, brain, and vascular techniques alongside the structures of the posterior cervical spine. You'll learn to use the eyes and tongue as long levers to treat nerves and structures, including the accessory and vagus nerves in the thorax and neck, the vestibulocochlear nerve, the oculomotor nerve, and the hypoglossal nerve.

~Concepts of polyvagal and trauma theory
~The mechanisms of dependency
~Benefits of Polyvagal Manual Therapy
~Manual therapy application to the skull and the brain's vascular system
~The use of the eyes and tongue as long levers for releasing these structures
~Manipulation of the vagus nerve, hypoglossal nerve posterior, oculomotor nerve, vestibule cochlear nerve, accessory nerve, the Atlantean and its components
~Role of the human voice in regulating physiological states

PVMT3 course highlights include:
Polyvagal Manual Therapy 3 marks a pivotal step in enhancing the therapist's capacity to address the patient as a whole, integrating the intricate connections between the autonomic nervous system and emotional states. This module offers an in-depth exploration of the thoracic and abdominal cavities, focusing on how these areas influence—and are influenced by—the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

~In-depth analysis of the myelinated and unmyelinated vagus nerve and its role in autonomic regulation.
~Updated review of stress mechanisms, distinguishing between emotions and feelings for clearer patient understanding.
~Introduction to the enteric system, the “second brain,” and its influence on global health.
~Advanced study of the sympathetic nervous system, focusing on its complex functions and connections.
~Hands-on techniques for treating vagus nerve-related issues in the thoracic and abdominal regions.
~Targeted interventions for major abdominal plexuses, including the celiac, aortic-renal, hepatic, splanchnic, and mesenteric plexuses.
~Strategies for addressing somatoemotional issues using a scientific and polyvagal framework.
~Application of Polyvagal Theory to identify and regulate physiological states for improved therapeutic outcomes.
