Osteo-Articular Joint Pumping is a painless soft-tissue technique developed by Guy VOYER, DO. Pumping focuses on moving the fluid into or out of a structure whether it be a general joint or a specific structure such as a ligament or tendon.
Many practitioners agree, this is the best technique for addressing inflammation whether acute or chronic. Contrary to what is still being practiced today, ice is not so effective after the first 12-24 hours of injury. Other modalities such as kinesio-taping, IASTM, flossing, and NSAIDS are all temporary and non-specific.
Learn directly from the creator of the ELDOA™ Method, Guy VOYER, DO in this hands-on seminar teaching over 100+ Joint Pumping techniques covering: Lower Limb, Upper Limb, TMJ, Trunk, Spine & Pelvis along with diagnostic tests of the lower limb (hip, knee, ankle, foot).
This seminar is open to therapists of all modalities, but especially useful for chiropractors, physical therapists, osteopaths, manual or massage therapists, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, athletic trainers and sports trainers.
Learn manual techniques and assessments used to normalize injuries for current and retired athletes in the professional sports arena such as the NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, PGA, and UFC.
Osteo-Articular Joint Pumping
The description and treatment of the body’s fasciae is tremendously popular in today’s world of therapy and performance training (sport or health).
A precise understanding of the anatomical, biochemical, and histological constructs of the fasciae leads one to the awareness of the need for many types of treatment for the fasciae.
In the VOYER paradigm, Osteo-articular Joint Pumping, Fascial Normalization andTransverse Tendonious & Ligamentous Stretching (TTLS) are the three main techniques used to address the varied needs of the fasciae.
Osteo-articular Pumping is a painless soft-tissue technique developed by Guy VOYER, DO. Where there's a joint, there's a pump. Where there's fascia, there's a pump. Pumping focuses on moving the fluid into or out of a structure whether it be a general joint or a specific structure such as a ligament or tendon.
Many practitioners agree, this is the best technique for addressing inflammation whether acute or chronic. Contrary to what is still being practiced today, ice is not so effective after the first 12-24 hours of injury.
Other modalities such as kinesio-taping, IASTM, flossing, and NSAIDS are all temporary and non-specific.
You must first understand what inflammation is and the cause in order to properly treat it.
Fluid, especially water, is a major element of the fasciae. The proper flow of fluid: within the fibers and ground substance, within an articulation, from one fascia to another and during acute and chronic inflammatory processes is requisite for proper physiological and biomechanical function of a specific fasciae, articulation and kinetic chain.
Joint pumping improves this fluid flow and improves function with respect to maintaining or improving the health of a specific joint, fasciae, or kinetic chain.
Why learn this technique? Rehabilitation of joint movement can be ascertained through the use of many techniques of mobilization that come from a mastery of the articular pumping. As we stated above, articular pumping can influence the migration of neutrophils in the early stages of inflammation, it can also accentuate the transport of hormonal mediators.
A 6 day, in-person, hands-on seminar teaching over 100 Pumping techniques covering the entire body. Areas covered include: Lower Limb, Upper Limb, TMJ, Trunk, Spine & Pelvis. Guy VOYER, DO will also be teaching diagnostic tests of the Lower Limb. An invaluable way to not only narrow down specific issues of the lower limb, but also as a way to demonstrate successful treatment outcomes to the client/patient. Increase patient compliance dramatically using these tests & assessments.
Common injuries that are essential to use pumping on: lumbago (a sprain of the lumbar muscle), sprain of any ligament such as in the ankle or knee, Bursitis, sprain of the TMJ, Tennis Elbow, AC joint separation, Ankle Inversion sprain, etc.
Learn directly from the master himself. Guy VOYER, DO teaches precise techniques rooted in deep knowledge of fascial relational anatomy and tensegritive biomechanics. Over 40 years of dissections, clinical work, and patient treatments worldwide, prove VOYER's techniques and instruction invaluable. He has (and continues to) successfully treated world-class athletes with the same techniques he teaches today.
This seminar is open to therapists of all modalities, but especially useful for chiropractors, physical therapists, osteopaths, manual therapists and sports trainers.
Courses are held at the UFHEC - Metropolitano Campus in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The district is called La Esperilla.
We have a group rate with the Courtyard Marriott which is a 3 minute walk to the school. 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. There are also 2 hotels in the area:
There are currently no testing or vaccine requirements for entry into the Dominican Republic for citizens of most countries (USA and Canada included).
To enter the USA as a US citizen, there are currently no testing requirements needed. Should you need one, there is a testing site 5 minutes from the school, Amadita, that provides antigen tests for about $30-40 USD and PCR tests for $80-90 USD.
