The Scientific Justifications of Manual Therapies to Assist Treatment of Autism, ADHD, Mood and Anxiety Conditions

2 CE Contact Hours

Class description:

A growing volume of medical and neurological research is revealing the biological underpinnings of traditionally-held views of these psychological conditions. Structural manifestations of gut-brain dysbiosis, along with body and brain inflammation, can be palpated and brought into healthier balance and tone through various manual therapies. This workshop discusses the evidence gathered through cadaver investigation and positive effects of treatment in clinical outcome studies of such things as CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Lymphatic Drainage techniques.

This class is 100% lecture/demo.
