Product Description

Instructor: Lauren Christman, LMT, assisted by Richard Polishuk, LMT; NCBTMB #450788-08

Poor air flow contributes to many health challenges, including sinus congestion, narrow palate, and sleep apnea. Manual methods can mobilize the facial bones that comprise the sinus passages. When these structures have appropriate position and movement, promoting air flow and sinus drainage. In this one-day class, we’ll review the anatomy of the facial bones, air sinuses and respiratory mechanism. We’ll also cover manual methods for assessing and mobilizing the bones of the face.

The manual technique is gentle, specific and highly effective, allowing you to work with people who have recent trauma or acute pain. The instructors have a wide background in structural, cranial and orthopedic methods, and are committed to bridging with various learning styles and individual backgrounds.

Enrollment is limited to ensure a good student-teacher ratio and there is ample in-class exchange time.

Prerequisite: Endorsement to practice intraoral work. Those therapists who have previous intraoral classwork, but are not endorsed may attend class with prior approval from the instructor.  Please contact Lauren at: lauren@craftedtouch.com.
