Details
A New Course that provides a comprehensive tour to assess and treat all layers of the human hand. The course is very tissue-specific and simultaneously unified in terms of the continuity of diverse tissues.
Assessment and treatment methods are presented for
- Glide and stretch of vasculature from the heart to the fingertips
- Glide and stretch of nerves from the spine to the fingers.
- Assessment and restoration of strain in bone.
- Detection and release of joint capsule adhesion
- Restoration of tendon glide
- A layered approach to fascia
- Restoration of skin elasticity
- Description of some specific medical conditions of the hand.
The content of the All About Hands course overlaps somewhat with that of the Joint, Bursa, and Tendo Module-1 class (JBT-1). Both classes address joint capsules and tendons in the hand. The JBT-1 class is oriented to a system, the syovial membranes, and has a larger anatomic area, the whole upper limb. The All About Hands course has a narrower anatomic area focus, the hand and wrist, and a broader tissue type focus, addressing all tissues in the hand and wrist.
Leave this class with your hands more comfortable and supple and with excellent new skills to assist your clients.
