The new course explores the connection between Mitchell’s pelvic axes diagnoses and Sutherland’s cranial diagnoses. We will learn how to get the sacrum and pelvis completely free during the walking/gait cycle, and then how to integrate the movement of the sacrum during walking/running into the cranium via the dura mater. This involves seated/standing cranial diagnosis and treatment and learning how each of the cranial bones move during the gait cycle. One we establish the freedom in the sacrum/pelvis and then the occiput, we will follow the gait movement through the sphenoid and the remainder of the bones in the head to ensure that all of the body is moving correctly with gait motion.
This course is geared more toward biomechanical relationships in the head and the sacrum. It is set up and taught as an “a is connected to b via this structure” and "when x moves in this way, y moves in this way because of this anatomical connection”. It paves the way for a membranous and biodynamic treatment approach later. It is the first course of its kind presented anywhere and is a foundational course for understanding why your patients can literally walk themselves back into their pattern of dysfunction (and wind up back in your office with the same complaint).
