Bio Therapeutic Manipulation of the Cervical Spine
Giles Cleghorn Method and Training - The CMT™ manipulation of the head and neck
This three day course course is open to all body workers holding suitable insurance cover for manipulation.
Bio Therapeutic manipulation is a refined technique formulated by Giles Cleghorn for the whole body. The method differs from other manipulative approaches, as it is ultra specific to the tissue, can cross all tissue boundaries, is simple, direct and gentle, requiring no thrusts at all. The manipulation extends to all soft tissues and fluids of the body.
Academics will cover:
- The anatomy and physiology of the blood vessels of the head and neck
- The physiology of the cervical sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
- The drainage of the head and neck through the lymphatic system
- The cranial bone motion and the motion of the face
