SCS V&L participants will learn over 60, recently developed techniques, which effectively alleviate viscerospasm, lymphatic vasospasm, as well as restrictions in the visceral serous membranes, visceral ligaments, and associated contractile elements.  This course will include a review of the related anatomy and physiology of the viscera and lymphatic systems.  In addition, newly published research articles related to the contractile properties of fascia and the lymphatic system will be presented as a theoretical rationale.

Prerequisite: SCS I or SCS II

SPECIAL NOTE:

Do not let any previous experience with visceral techniques shy you away from trying the new SCS Visceral and Lymphatics course.  This is classic StrainCounterstrain with tenderpoints to diagnose each dysfunction and a gentle indirect technique to release it.  The techniques are easy to perform and are astonishingly effective when used alone or inconjunction with SCS for the musculoskeletal and / or cranial systems.  Developed by Brian Tuckey PT, JSCCI (certified SCS instructor) the V&L course will present 63  new techniques to address dysfunction in the cardiopulmonary system, the urogenital system, digestive system, valves and sphincters, the lymphatic system and more.  These restrictions can cause common musculoskeletal symptoms like low back pain, sciatica, SI pain, hip pain, rib pain, headaches, UE symptoms and more.  New research (presented in the course) demonstrates definitively that fascia and lymphatic vessels contain contractile, smooth muscle cells called myofibroblasts. After adding these techniques to your armamentarium, you will be able to correct smooth muscle dysfunction, not just skeletal muscle dysfunction and have an instant impact on the autonomic nervous system.  Even a clinician that is already getting impressive results with a high percentage of your patients using the basic SCS techniques will find this  material to be invaluable and often the missing piece of the puzzle especially with chronic pain patients that have been previously treated. You will be very impressed with Brian’s knowledge in this area and his skillful application of SCS principles in the development of the evaluation and treatment techniques in the visceral and lymphatic systems. His extensive study, tireless observation and superior manual skills have made him an expert and innovator in this field.
