We will simultaneously be recording & broadcasting class for people tuning in through Zoom as well during this workshop and wanted to make sure that you are aware of this.

One of our most requested topics, scoliosis presents the manual therapist with some interesting challenges. This workshop will be focused on getting a basic understanding of spine and rib cage anatomy and mechanics before moving on to understand how scolisis affects these regions specifically. Indications, contraindications and considerations for Integrative Bodywork for scoliosis will be covered. We will explore spinal movement and breathing assessments as well as several bodywork techniques for freeing the structures most commonly affected by scoliosis. Since the techniques and concepts covered are based on spinal mechanics common to every spine they are helpful for ALL spines so these techniques can be beneficial for a vast majority of clients.

You will need to have or create a Zoom account to participate and we recommend doing so a few days before the workshop. Please have a practice partner, client or colleague (camera on) available for the class's practice periods Your practice partner does not need to have scoliosis or back pain…the techniques and concepts presented will be helpful to any spine. You will have the ability to ask questions, get feedback from both Alex and Jonathan directly throughout the workshop. After participating in the workshop, in order to receive your certificate, you will need to fill out a course evaluation form via email.

This is a newer, experimental format for IBMT, and subject to technological and circumstantial variables. In the case of any serious issues with live-streaming, we will arrange other credit options or refunds for you.

You may cancel up to 5 days before the workshop and receive a full refund. Refunds thereafter will be on a case by case basis.
