About the course

Background In this course, we delve into the essential understanding and practical skills required for the release of RTM.

We review relevant embryology and anatomy for the RTM, pelvis, and "The core link and diaphragms." A central element of the course is sensing the movements of the RTM in both the inhalation and exhalation phases, which is an important part of your diagnostic tools in practice.

Treatment of RTM We treat the various components of RTM and try to get a feel for how RTM works in all areas. And as a whole.

This includes releasing the lower pole with iliae, lumbar, and sacrum. Upper pole with frontal and parietal lifts and spreads. In addition, treatment of the core link.

Once the entire ligamentous and intraosseous system over the lower ribs, lumbar region, pelvis, and hips is breathing better, many secondary symptoms will improve significantly. At the same time, optimal conditions are created for the sacrum to unfold its intraosseous aspects.

Effect on the nervous system The release of RTM also has far-reaching effects on our entire nervous system. Both the purely mechanical advantage of a plastic nervous system, but also the effect that comes via the vascular release, where cerebrospinal fluid, veins, and arteries are given better conditions.

What you will take home with you You will gain a theoretical understanding of RTM and acquire effective, gentle tools for liberating the entire system, enabling you to both evaluate and treat RTM.

That you refine your grounding, intention, and use of fulcrums at a deeper level, so that the response to your contact improves.

You will receive an effective tool for achieving long-term improved function across the pelvis, hips, and lower back as a whole.

The course has broad clinical relevance and includes, among other things, the treatment of neurogenic conditions such as disc protrusion/disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, low back pain, paraesthesia, and whiplash. It also covers fractures of the pelvis and spine, symptoms in the lower extremities, and adhesions around the pelvis and abdomen.

The course is also suitable for those who treat pregnant women, both during pregnancy in relation to discomfort and as preparation for a good birth for both mother and baby.

Worth knowing

Date and time

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

Prerequisites

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

Classes are held in English if there are foreign participants.

In this course, we spend much more time on the lower pole of the RTM than on SCCO's M2. This means that your perception is refined and your toolbox for the pelvis, lower back, and lower ribs is developed.
