Module 1: Low Back and Neck - Basic
Course participants will explore the Body Operating System (BOS) Mindset and Treatment System, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its approach to patient care. The course introduces the foundational Myofascial Mapping technique, along with methods for treating the primary diaphragms using Advanced Strain Counterstrain and Myofascial Release. Participants will learn manual visceral techniques designed to help regulate the physiology of shock and reduce adrenal load, as well as Myofascial Release techniques for the pelvis, sacrum, and spine. The course also covers Myofascial Release techniques for the cranio-cervical junction and Strain Counterstrain techniques targeting the pelvis, sacrum, and lumbar spine.
Module 2: Low Back and Neck - Intermediate
Course will cover the Multiplanar Myofascial Mapping technique, the 5 Point Diagnostic technique, and the Inhibition and Nullification techniques to find the primary issue. Participants will learn manual techniques for treating bone bruises, soft tissue inflammation, and circulatory shock. The course will also include the Jones 7 Point Sacral Release technique and basic myofascial release techniques for the cranial dura.
Module 3: Sacrum - Basic
Course participants will review the information taught in Modules 1 and 2. Participants will learn manual treatment for Physical Trauma-Induced Shock, Sacral Plexus, and Compression Syndromes. The course will include Muscle Energy Techniques for Pelvis and Sacrum and Visceral Treatment for Related Pelvis and Sacral Organs.
Module 4: Sacrum - Intermediate
Course will review the information taught in Modules 1, 2, and 3, including: myofascial mapping, manual treatment for bone, manual treatment for inflamed soft tissue, basic muscle energy technique, and manual treatment for immune deficiency. The participants will learn intermediate sacral muscle energy technique and advanced strain counterstrain (ASCS) for spinal discs. The course will include ASCS for pelvic circulation, cranial circulation, for eyes, and SCS for cervical spine.
Module 5: Manual Therapy for Nerve Tissue
Course participants will review the information taught in Modules 1-4. The participants will learn the Muscle Energy Technique for the spine: Type 1 and 2. The course will include the Myofascial Release technique to reset nerve tissue, treat adverse mechanical neural tension in the spine, plexi, cranial nerves, upper and lower extremity sensory and motor nerves, and pelvis.
Module 6: Manual Treatment of Upper and Lower Extremity Compression Syndromes
Course participants will learn the conditions for the use of compression syndromes; the contraindications for the use of compression syndromes; the techniques that should be used before and after performing compression syndromes; and how to perform compression syndromes for the upper and lower extremity.
Module 7: Manual Treatment of the Cranium, Level 1
Course participants will learn the appropriate preparation work to be performed prior to treatment of the cranial joints and bones; mobilization of the temporomandibular joint and the spheno-basilar joint; mobilization of the basic cranial bones; mobilization of the cranial dura on multiple planes; and treatment for ensuring blood flow in and out of the cranium.
Module 8: Manual Treatment of the Cranium, Level 2
The course will review the information taught in Module 7. The participants will learn the appropriate preparation work to be performed prior to treatment of the cranial joints and bones; mobilization of the temporo-mandibular joint and the spheno-basilar joint; mobilization of the basic cranial bones; mobilization of the cranial dura on multiple planes; and treatment for ensuring blood flow in and out of the cranium; mobilization of the key bones involved in the cranial facial gear mechanism; performing the neuro-fascial releases for the cranium; performing the compression syndrome techniques for the cranium.
Module 9: Manual Therapy for Cardiac
Course participants will learn the appropriate indications and contraindications for performing manual therapy on the cardiac area; the appropriate preparation work to perform prior to cardiac work. Participants will learn how to treat the appropriate hard frame structures surrounding the heart and how to perform the Advanced Straincounterstrain techniques for the heart and surrounding organs. The course will include performing the compression syndromes for the heart and surrounding organs and treating the biomechanics of the heart and surrounding and affiliated structures.
Module 10: Manual Therapy for Treatment of Tissue Specific Fascial Mobility
Course participants will learn the philosophy of tissue-specific fascial mobilities and how to find and treat tissue-specific fascial mobilities in the nervous, cardiopulmonary, hard frame, vascular, lymphatic, and visceral systems. The course will include pre- and post-manual therapy needed when treating tissue-specific fascial mobilities and indications and contraindications.
Module 11: Intermediate Fascial Diagnostics
The course will review the information taught in Modules 1-10. Participants will learn manual treatment for diaphragm fascial tissue, the blueprints for diaphragm fascial tissue, spinal shock, pelvic trauma, and manual treatment to reset the fascial tissue of the spinal cord and spinal discs.
Module 12: Intermediate Visceral Diagnostics
The course will review the information taught in Module 2. The participants will learn manual forehead diagnostics, the cavity LPS diagnostic technique, and the spinal decompression blueprint.
Module 13: Advanced Muscle Energy and Biomechanics
Course participants will learn the mechanics, assessment, and treatment of the ascended and descended sacrum, spinal shears, Chiari Malformation, adverse mechanical dural tension, and adverse mechanical peripheral nerve tension.
Module 14: Manual Therapy Protocols
Course participants will learn the manual therapy treatment protocols for migraine headaches and post-concussion syndrome. Participants will also learn manual therapy treatment protocols for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, dysautonomia, systemic inflammation, fibromyalgia, spinal fusion and laminectomy.
