PSE DESCRIPTION:
Paradigm Shifts in Embryology (PSE)
A Clinical and Embodied Embryology Course for Manual Therapists
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.
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine dealing with the correction or prevention of deformities or disorders of the skeleton and ssociated structures associated. 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.
This is a class related to your patient/client “essence” entering into form as well as a class based on embryology, anatomy and physiology.
Dr Chikly began studying embryology in medical school in 1979-1980. He learned with osteopathic teachers such as Jim Jealous, Patrick van den Heede, Jaap van der Wal, and mainly worked in Paris with Vincent Fleury, physicist (embryologist) national research center (CNRS) and had regular feedback from Brian Freeman, Sidney, Australia, anatomist and embryologist. Brian is interested in the biomechanical and biodynamic development of human beings.
Clinical 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 and 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 (see "Preparation" tab) as we are going to enter in depth into the world of embryology and universal forces.

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.
