Reciprocal Tension Membrane (RTM)

"... I also learned that the essential issue is being able to contact and work with the mechanism and that how you do this is not the issue."

About the course

Background

The course covers relevant embryology and anatomy for RTM and pelvis as well as "The core link and diaphragms."

We explore different qualities in the perception of RTM movements in both the inhalation and exhalation phases, allowing you to assess how it works and when the release has occurred.

We examine the various components of RTM and attempt to gain an understanding of how RTM functions 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. Also, treatment of the core link (spinal cord with meninges).

If you already have extensive experience with RTM, this course will provide you with in-depth knowledge of the pelvis. Clinically, you will gain an incredibly effective tool for achieving long-term functional improvement across the pelvis and lower back as a whole.

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, creating optimal conditions for the sacrum to unfold its intraosseous aspects.

The response to our contact depends on whether we are able to establish a meaningful meeting place. So the basic principles from Basis 1 are the foundation we continue to work with, just in different ways.

Goals

You will gain a theoretical understanding of RTM and acquire effective, gentle tools for releasing the entire system, enabling you to evaluate and treat RTM.

That you refine your grounding, intention, and use of fulcrums at a deeper level.

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

The course is also suitable for those who treat pregnant women. Both during pregnancy and in preparation for childbirth, where good plastic function of the pelvis is crucial.

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