Global Spinology expands upon Spinology 1-3 courses taught previously. It is not a repeat of Spinology 1-3. There will be demonstration and practice of new normalization techniques as well as review of prior techniques learned. A large number of new treatments and tests will be presented so that you can apply immediately in your practice. Every attendee will be able to test, diagnosis, and treat the lumbar & thoracic spine and the thoracic cage confidently. Emphasis on technomethodology (techniques), biomechanics, tests, diagnosis and practical application. Payment plan available.

Lumbar spine:
- Biomechanical tensgritive application during walking and running
- Relational anatomy of the psoas and links (visceral, circulatory, lymphatic, ANS, etc.)
- Fryette's laws in theory and practice
- Specific tests of the 12 tensegritive dysfunctions in detail

Thoracic Cage:
- Costo-clavicular & Thoracic Outlet Syndrome tests, radiology diagnostic explanation and differential diagnosis (carpal tunnel, cervical sprains, upper limb pain, etc.)
- New and classic osteopathic normalizations
- Arthro-kinematic analysis of the costo-vertebral system

Thoracic spine:
- Biomechanics of the intervertebral disc at a high level
- New element on tensegrity and the thoracic spine
- Specific tests of the 12 tensegritive dysfunctions in detail and application of tests

Payment Options
  • €3000 - Early Bird, before July 31, 2024 (Coupon code: EARLYBIRD)
  • €3750 - After July 31, 2024
  • 3 scheduled payments of €1300 - 1st payment before July 31, 2024 (option coming soon)

Course Info.

Course Description

The Global Spinology course (Lumbar spine, Thoracic cage, Thoracic spine) will not be a copy of the previous course.

For each part there will be two priorities: Biomechanics and Techno Methodology.

I will not repeat descriptive anatomy or other secondary elements.

The only part that will be reviewed will be the practical applications of the old structural normalizations, with more time, more detail and more explanations.

A large number of new treatments and tests will be presented, so that you can leave this seminar with all the main elements mastered for immediate application.

For the lumbar spine :

There will be a biomechanical tensegritive application, during walking and running.

A relational anatomy of the psoas with all its visceral, circulatory, lymphatic and autonomic nervous system links. As well as the demonstration and practice of new normalization techniques.

In techno-methodology, I won't be repeating pumping, facial normalization and 2TLS, but I'll be going over the two or three main ones, as well as two or three new ones.

We'll go over Fryette's laws in theory and practice.

We'll discover specific tests, and we'll go over the tests and structural manipulations of the 12 tensegritive dysfunctions in greater detail and with more time.

For the Thoracic Cage:

I'll explain how the thoracic cage and ribs manage the thoracic spine.

I'll go into more detail, time and explanations of the arthro-kinematic analysis of the costo-vertebral system.

I'll begin to detail the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system in direct relation to rib movements.

Similarly, in techno-methodology I will no longer repeat pumping, facial normalization and 2TLS, but I will go back over the two or three main ones as well as two or three new ones.

I'll show classic osteopathic normalization techniques that I've never shown before.

Of course, we'll apply the classic dysfunctions at different levels (lower, medio-thoracic and upper).

I'll be focusing on the costo clavicular syndrome and the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, with tests, a radiological diagnostic explanation and differential diagnosis (carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical sprains, upper limb pain, etc.), and of course the complete treatments for this all-too-common, little-known and wrongly neglected syndrome...

At the level of the thoracic spine:

I will describe the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc at a high level.

And I'll present a new element on tensegrity and the thoracic spine.

Similarly, in techno-methodology, I will no longer repeat the pumping, facial normalizations and 2TLS, but I will go back over the two or three main ones as well as two or three new ones.

I'll spend more time explaining, demonstrating and applying the tests and normalizations of the 12 principal tenségritive dysfunctions at the different levels of the thoracic spine (lower, middle and upper).

Location & Travel Info
Seminar Location:

Courses are held at the UFHEC - Metropolitano Campus in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The district is called La Esperilla.

Lodging:

We have a group rate with the Courtyard Marriott which is a 3 minute walk to the school. Email us to make a reservation with our group rate. There are also many Airbnbs available for rent. Do a search for La Esperilla if you wish to be within walking distance to the school.


Transportation:
  • Uber is available but sometimes unreliable in that no drivers will be available
  • InDriver is a rideshare app that has more usage than Uber in Santo Domingo - More Info
  • Private drivers are available for hire. JC Taxi is a reliable company. Other options can be found on tripadvisor.

Documentation and COVID Travel Tips:
