About the Course

VISCERAL INTEGRATION: ABDOMEN & PELVIS.
Approaching the viscera in the same contextual framework as 'recipe' sessions 1-6, this in-person class bridges the container and the contents. Ideal for beginners, Visceral Integration is a user-friendly direct technique approach to visceral mobilization. The class focuses on the practitioner's clinical reasoning skills, body mechanics, and practical manual therapy techniques targeting the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity. Lectures and anatomy review set-up the hands-on table work and supervision.

Generally following the three-dimensional trail of the larger visceral ligaments associated with the Gastrointestinal Track, visceral structures covered include the small intestine, cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, liver, gall bladder, transverse colon, stomach, spleen, splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, urinary bladder, lesser and greater omentum, root of the mesentery, and parietal peritoneum. Structural components include the respiratory diaphragm, pelvis, sacrum, coccyx, lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, transverses abdominus, iliacus, psoas, QL.

Visceral Integration expands the SI Practitioner's skill set in working with core/sleeve dynamics and critical Structural-Visceral Interrelationships. This class supports your preexisting practice and provides new tools and techniques for working with tricky clients, the whole body, and the whole person. The objective is systems anatomy structural integration.
