Course Description
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the vascular system, focusing on how arterial function influences overall health and mobility. Through hands-on techniques and research-based insights, you will learn to assess and treat vascular restrictions to enhance circulation and organ function.
Key Learning Outcomes
Vascular Anatomy & Function: Understand how arteries adjust their diameter based on physiological demands and how vascular compression contributes to restriction patterns and pain.
Hands-On Techniques: Learn to locate and release restrictions along vascular structures using direct methods such as compression, decompression, and elongation.
Targeted Vascular Treatment: Explore soft tissue manipulation of the heart, aorta, subclavian artery, and brachial artery, and improve direct and indirect circulation to organs.
Clinical Integration & Research: Discover Doppler ultrasound research on effective arterial mobilization techniques and learn to integrate vascular treatment into therapeutic practice.
