VISCERAL MANIPULATION:
Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS

Focus on the command and the regulation of the organs, as well as the 5 cranial nerves that belong to the social engagement system.

Gain a new understanding of the action of the cranial nerves, and a different and more precise semiology, as well as new techniques.

Understand the functioning of the autonomic nervous system and its involvement in a very large number of symptoms and conditions encountered in clinical practice. Master a clear, relevant, and precise way to identify ANS imbalances and dysfunctions.

Learn powerful evaluation and manual therapy tools to assist your client in reviving and balancing the functions of the autonomic nervous system and general homeostasis, which are under the control of the new branch of the vagus nerve.

Learn the Energy Vibration Technique to stimulate the slow and fast receptors inside the skin to reset the ANS.

Discover a new way to set up a treatment according to a hierarchy and a sequence that respects the unavoidable modes of operation of the autonomic nervous system and to be better able to assist people through manual therapy with chronic and psychosomatic diseases.

COURSE TOPIC

• The role and functions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS): a global approach to homeostasis. Somatic consequences of its dysfunctions. Stress, influences and emotions and their consequences for the balance of the ANS.


• Clinical examination of the ANS


• The polyvagal theory, a new interpretation of the ANS. Clinical, pathological and therapeutic role.


• General concepts of osteopathic treatment of the ANS. The hierarchy of treatment and the importance of the 5 cranial nerves in social engagement.


• The craniocervical junction, basic exercise, neurofascial relaxation technique, upper cervical ganglion and upper attachment points of the dura mater.


• The vagus nerve: cervical section and upper thoracic entry, neurofascial relaxation technique. Significant differences between the right and left vagus nerves. Therapeutic implications.


• The vagus nerve: hidden problems of hiatus hernia.


• The hypoglossal nerve and the carotid bifurcation, neurofascial relaxation technique.


• The trigeminal nerve, neurofascial relaxation technique.


• The facial nerve: induction technique and neurofascial relaxation technique.


• The ear: an important neurological intersection of the ANS. - External auditory canal technique - Master points of the ear: neurofascial relaxation technique


• The accessory nerve SCOM, m.trapezius consequences: - on the position of the neck and head - on cardiopulmonary functions; - in plagiocephaly; - neurofascial relaxation technique of trigger points and perforating branches.


• Sympathetic ganglion techniques: Rib lift technique and technique on the stellate ganglion


• Sacral parasympathetic nervous system techniques


• The problem of emotions


• Deprogramming emotions (and autonomic state) and trauma
