Fluid principles

About the course

Background

Our bodies consist mostly of fluid, and Sutherland observed the body's natural fluid dynamics in both health and disease.

Based on this, he developed a practical approach to either redirecting, facilitating, or calming fluids so that the body can better utilize the available forces that also drive our entire fetal development. They are crucial to good health for the rest of our lives.

When you understand how to read and utilize the dynamics that are already present, you have an effective and gentle tool to help guide the healing process in the right direction.

The aim is to learn the principles both practically and theoretically, so that you can be creative with your techniques in your own practice at the clinic, depending on the area and needs.

Among other things, the course covers balanced fluid tension (BFT), lateral fluctuation, fluid drive, stillness, and the perceptual difference between CV4 and EV4.

Take that home with you

You will gain a better understanding of some of the movement characteristics of the body's fluids, as well as how to apply this knowledge in treatment to achieve lasting results in complex lesion patterns, among other things.

That you can sense and apply fluid dynamics to treat tissue hyperactivity/stagnation, lack of exchange/contact between different parts of the body.

That you become better able to assess whether you have left your own traces in the patient's mechanism and to rebalance it if you have.

The principles can be applied to very persistent and painful conditions such as arthritis, frozen shoulder, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or long-term discomfort in the pelvis, lower back, and neck/shoulders, as well as intraosseous problems.

Worth knowing

Thursday: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Prerequisites

IKO Basic 1 or Biodynamics phase 1+2 or M2 at SCCO.

Classes are held in English if there are foreign participants.

You are welcome if you have already been to M2 at SCCO. It is worth repeating lateral fluctuation, among other things. Here, we will probably work on areas other than those you learned at M2. Repetition works.
