PVMT2: Polyvagal Manual Therapy 2
PVTM2 December 6-8, 2024 Buenos Aires, Argentina

Taught in Spanish.

 

Description:
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.

Course highlights include:
~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
