PSE DESCRIPTION:
Paradigm Shifts in Embryology (PSE)
A Clinical and Embodied Embryology Course for Manual Therapists
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine dealing with the correction or prevention of deformities or disorders of the skeleton and structures associated with it.
By intervening at the level of the embryo we can address very early dysfunctions that can later affect a large number of structures and functions in a mature body.
Forces of growth and development are present throughout Life, modulating metabolic processes. These forces are accessible for healing.
We are going to meet the embryonic forces as well as universal forces that model our body plan and our physiology.
We may also be able to perceive forces in the tissue that may help form the future of human bodies.
This is a “spiritual” class as well as based on embryology, anatomy and physiology. It relates to your patient/client “essence” entering into form.
Applications:
This approach can be used in any and every treatment modality you are using, as well as helping you to release very complicated pathologies, pain, inflammation, discomfort that affect different tissues and structures.
Practitioners will use less “force”, less techniques, and have more results. This type of approach will support numerous “spontaneous healing”; these are the results we are having by using the approach described in PSE.
Nevertheless, because we address very precise body structures we will also help numerous specific processes and structures in the body. For example, the allantois will help you regulate dysfunctions of the bladder, sacroiliac, hip as well as deep emotions that can be stored inside of it. The neural crest cells as they are present in the connective tissue, muscles, bones and cartilage of the face will help with all types of traumas. We will also spend time with the cardiovascular system and its very sensitive and continuous endothelium that have so many functions including normally preventing the adhesion and clotting we found in atherosclerosis and some COVID-19 infections (endotheliitis), for example.
Please review your list of terms as we are going to enter in depth into the world of embryology and universal forces.
Topic covered:
Conception
Fertilization – where did the sperm entered the ovum?
Fertilization & the cardiovascular circulation. Yolk sac and blood islands. The Very special endothelium cells.
Cleavage (cell divisions)
Implantation
Primitive Streak
Primitive Pit
Germ layers
Notochord
Neural tube
Neural crest
Somites
Ectodermal Ring
Allantois
Meckel's Diverticulum
Brain flexures
Heart development
(To be continued)
Attire/Supplies:
Bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Some of these approaches require touching exposed skin, we encourage you to bring a bath towel, lab clothes, and appropriate undergarments so that you are comfortable.
Short fingernails are required for some techniques.
Due to the potential chemical sensitivities of your classmates, please refrain from wearing perfumes or oils to class.
Please call the Institute at 480-999-0808 if you are able to bring a massage or treatment table.
