The Diaphragm from 3 Approaches: Myofascial, Visceral and Craniosacral

Presenter: Lauren Christman LMT - MA00007042

Class Format: In-person, Hands-on

About the Class: The respiratory diaphragm is a key structure -- providing the engine of breathing, helping to stabilize the torso, organizing the movement of most organs, and being delicately responsive to our autonomic state. Let's explore 3 avenues for providing balance and ease to this powerhouse! After an initial review of its structure and placement we'll have three rounds of demos and practice sessions: myofascial, visceral and cranial. Handouts provided.

What to Bring: Please bring a bottom sheet and blanket/bolster if needed; wear comfortable clothing. Handouts with anatomical and technical details are provided. (No lotion needed.)
