Upcoming Seminar Schedule There are specialized nervous system receptors in muscles, tendons, fascia and skin, which provide afferent (sensory) information into the central nervous system concerning the force and length of muscle contraction. Through these receptors the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system affect the performance of a muscle or muscle group. Our treatment and teaching strategy is a dynamic check and balance system utilizing a case history, postural examination and manual muscle testing to set up a strategy for addressing an individual's complaints. Specific techniques are applied to nerve receptors (spindle cells and golgi tendon organs) with the objective of restoring the balance between the agonistic and antagonistic forces necessary for efficient, pain-free movement. These techniques are both easy to do and easy on the therapist. A case history is the first step in setting up a treatment strategy for addressing a patient's complaints. The nervous system keeps a record of the past history of the organism (Speransky). A postural examination is the next step. Dr. George Goodheart, founder of Applied Kinesiology, has observed, "the body does not lie." Knowledge of muscle origin, insertion and action will reveal specific muscles to be addressed. Manual muscle testing may not only reveal hidden factors affecting the desired result but also verifies the effectiveness of the treatment strategy. Understanding why a specific muscle is addressed in a specific way will instill confidence and get results, allowing the practitioner to treat with confidence, care and understanding. Or, as Dr. Goodheart says, "Treat with hands, heart and mind."

Presented in four-three hour segments, we will explore the influence of scapular positioning, scapular stabilization, and the phenomenon of reciprocal inhibition as possible hidden factors in neck, hand, and Gleno-humeral joint function. The fourth component is the importance of proper co-contraction of relocators to maintain gleno-humeral joint integrity during the strong pull of latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major on the humerus       Additional course offerings:   Angle of Louis   Diaphragm Technique   Popliteus Weakness:       a sign of imbalance between medial and lateral   hamstrings   Abdominals   Reactive Muscle Pattern:       (Scoliosis)   Liberto Therapy Promise A very wise man instructed me to give a “use value” greater than the “cash value” that I received in return. I apply that philosophy successfully everyday in my clinic and I promise that I shall employ that philosophy in this and any seminar that I present.
