THE 10th ANNUAL fourth of july celebratory WORKSHOP with Erik Dalton
LEVELING THE HEAD & TAIL (24CE)
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques for Tension, Trauma, & Weak Posture
In this fun-filled 24-CE workshop, you will learn cutting-edge myoskeletal techniques for treating your client’s primary pain and injury complaints. The overriding theme of this 3-day event is to level the head-on-neck and the lumbar spine-on-sacrum. You’ll find this simple routine triggers a dramatic calming and pain-reducing effect on your client’s hyperactive nervous system.
No matter what type of pain or injury complaint your clients present with, don’t let them get out the door without first attempting to level the head and tail!
WHY?
The brain loves to sit on a level platform to allow maximum head-on-neck rotation. Scientists believe we evolved this head righting instinct to help our early ancestors better track prey. But a “catch-22” often occurs when a poorly aligned spinal column initiates head and low back righting reflexes that cause the brain to layer the area with reactive muscle spasm. In this scenario, some muscles overwork; others turn off resulting in reduced mobility, excessive energy consumption, exhaustion, and, if the brain perceives threat… pain!
In this 3-day event with Erik Dalton you will learn Myoskeletal Techniques to help reduce:
- head pain
- low back spasm
- cervical stiffness
- functional scoliosis
- hip & SI joint irritation
- sciatica
- nerve compression syndromes
- protective muscle guarding
Join Erik in this once a year workshop to upgrade your skill set and boost your referrals with Erik Dalton’s extremely popular ‘hands-on’ pain-rehab techniques. Learn WHY they work, and HOW to change the brain’s mind about your client’s pain…the MAT way!
This workshop is Erik Dalton’s only 2023 USA workshop!
The Workshop is officially SOLD OUT! But don’t worry! There will be cancellations and we’ll have more spots open up.
