Outline

Session 1 – You will have an opportunity to describe the problem that you have and the treatments you have received for it, in the group situation. (You will be surprised to hear how similar people’s stories are, and how ineffective conventional treatments can be.)

Session 2 – All attendees will be individually assessed for any structural causes of their problems, such as actual or functional leg length differences.

Session 3 – All attendees will go through the muscle testing protocol. In this session, critical left-right functional differences in your own body will be revealed, and effective treatment exercises taught and practised.

By the end of these sessions, you will have a clear understanding of the structural and functional causes of your problems, and the best exercises to treat these. As well, the best exercises for the common problem piriformis syndrome (sciatica caused by a muscle in the hip) will be taught and practised.

The afternoon session will complete the exercises for the lower and middle back.

The final sessions will use innovative partner and solo exercises for neck problems, including a floor exercise that stretches the scalenes safely (a cause of thoracic outlet compression syndrome).
