Treatment Strategies for Cervical Mobility & Alignment

Learn an innovative and gentle approach to neck adjustments

Expand your skills with a unique, gentle strategy for working with the cervical vertebrae. This course presents a deep dive into a vital component of any treatment protocol. Understanding the neck has to come from a synthesis of general, whole body perspectives along with a specific understanding of the cervical mechanisms. You'll learn new material, as well as shin tai neck adjustments that are rarely covered in classes.

Often neck treatment is presented from the viewpoint that when there is pain and misalignment, it’s necessary to move vertebrae back into the ‘correct’ position.’ This can actually increase strain and discomfort rather than relieve it. The shin tai approach is to instead address the primary cause of misalignments and then then use specifically targeted techniques to gently restore mobility and function.

The neck is a bridge between the mind and the body. In order for information to pass smoothly through the neck, its structures must maintain flexibility and alignment. Treating this region has positive effects not only on vertebral function, but also on related meridian and chakra functions associated with the area. In addition, the mind/body connection comes into greater alignment and the capacity to see and hear other perspectives is expanded.

During these two days we will explore and refine non-force treatment techniques for neck mobility and alignment. You will leave with the ability to offer your clients a whole new approach to restoring cervical health that will have them delighted (and comfortable)!
