B1 in the CHI website:
Pre-Requisites for the Brain1 class:
A TOTAL OF 3 hands-on classes in ANY of the following curriculums, in ANY combination: LDT, CST, VM/NM or ML curriculi (except dissection classes).
Being in clinical practice, strong preparation in neuroanatomy, good proprioception, being able to use a subtle touch.
If someone does NOT HAVE THE PRE-REQUISITE ABOVE, an advanced practitioners with significant training and clinical experience in neuroanatomy and refined/fluid techniques may be eligible to take this workshop (e.g. osteopathic classes, cranial biodynamic classes, etc.) If you think you may qualify, please fill up the "Application for Exception".
The Brain Therapy Curriculum is an advanced-level course that takes us to the next realm of manual therapy. It explores the brain, spinal cord and related pathologies such as closed-head injuries, whiplash, headaches, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, cognitive behavioral dysfunctions, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Students will learn specific techniques to release brain-centered restrictions as well as the damaging effects that these restrictions cause.
These are advanced classes that use a slightly different paradigm by working extensively with the brain parenchyma, grey and white matter, cranial and spinal nerves and vascular structures rather than mainly concentrating on the cranial bones and membranes.
The body often aligns itself around these precise structures and they are frequently unaddressed key/dominant tissue restrictions.
Many topics are covered including
1- Cranial bones (intraosseous and interosseous lesions),
2- Cranial membranes in all anatomical directions
3- Fluid: 3 distinct compartments
A- Subarachnoid spaces and cerebral cisterns
B- Brain parenchyma and the glymphatic system
C- Ventricles
4- Grey Matter: 3 and 6 layered cortex and brain nuclei
5- White Matter: 3 types of organization
6- Electro-magnetic field (EMF) of the brain
7- Emotions, mental or spiritual dimensions
