Project Description
COURSES INFORMATION
Each course fee is $550 (plus applicable GST)
The Biodynamic Myofascial Mobilization courses take the manual therapist through a particular region, going beyond the myofascia to address all tissue types within the area of focus using up to date anatomical knowledge, evidence-based fascial principles & approaches to maximize the patient’s long-term resolve. Fulfill your PDP goals in the areas of Treatment, Knowledge, Communication & Patient Care. Tissue types considered in each region are osseous, ligamentous, tendinous, muscular, joint, visceral and more, and are approached using direct or indirect loading techniques, & discussion of visceral manipulation or cranio-fascial therapies when appropriate. Discussion around integrating these techniques is always a part of each course & we encourage those attending to be open to new experiences & ideas!
**For licensed manual therapists/health care professional only such as RMT’s, PT’s, DOMP’s or Chiropractors.
THE LUMBO-PELVIC
REGION
May 9-10, 2025.
Friday/Saturday
9:30am – 5:30pm each day
Lead Instructor:
Heather Gittens RMT
The pelvis doesn’t have to be so complicated!!! Fulfill your PDP goals in the areas of Treatment, Knowledge, Communication & Patient Care. This workshop is designed to demystify the pelvis by assessing & treating it three dimensionally through the osseous structures (ilia, ischia, pubis), ligaments (inguinal, iliolumbar), myofascia and discussion of viscera (colon, bladder, uterus) plus how each are related to the other and the body globally. The visceral component is primarily discussed or demonstrated as it is too involved for a 2-day course to fully cover.
THE THORAX
July 11-12, 2025.
Friday-Saturday
9:30am – 5:30pm
Lead Instructor:
Heather Gittens RMT
Fulfill your PDP goals in the areas of Treatment, Knowledge, Communication & Patient Care. Using techniques for the Osseous, Ligamentous, Muscular & Visceral components for the thorax, we explore the relationships between each and common complaints & dysfunction of the region and it’s relationship to the rest of the body. Special attention is paid to the pleura of the lungs & their suspensory ligaments, esophagus, the rib cage & it’s articulations, the manubrio-sternum relationship, clavicles, Rib 1 & 2, the scalenes & subclavius muscles as well as the mediastinal tissue. The visceral component is primarily discussed or demonstrated as it is too involved for a 2-day course to fully cover.
THE UPPER EXTREMITY
OCTOBER 23-24, 2025.
Thursday-Friday
9:30am – 5:30pm
Lead Instructor:
Heather Gittens RMT
Fulfill your PDP goals in the areas of Treatment, Knowledge, Communication & Patient Care. As in the other integrative courses, we will go beyond the myofascia to explore techniques for the Osseous, Ligamentous, Joint & Muscular components. Our focus will be on the upper extremity as it relates to the both the cervical region & the thoracic region. Using evidence-based, up to date information, fascial anatomy, relationships & continuity between each will be discussed plus common complaints & dysfunction of the region and its relationship to the rest of the body.
THE CERVICAL REGION
NO 2025 DATES.
This course will be offered in early 2026.
9:30am – 5:30pm
Lead Instructor:
Heather Gittens RMT
Fulfill your PDP goals in the areas of Treatment, Knowledge, Communication & Patient Care. As in the other integrative courses, we explore techniques for the Osseous, Ligamentous, Joint & Muscular components of the cervical region. Through the lens of up to date, evidence-based knowledge, we explore the fascial relationships & continuity between each plus common complaints & dysfunction of the region and its relationship to the rest of the body. Particular attention is paid to the Investing Fascia of the cervical spine, the Atlanto-Axial joint space, the upper ribs, clavicles, and the hyoid bone. The visceral component is primarily discussed or demonstrated as it is too involved for a 2-day course to fully cover.
