| Presenter Info: |
Thomas Myers studied directly with Drs. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller. He has also studied less extensively with movement teachers Judith Aston, Emilie Conrad, and in the martial arts. His work is influenced by cranial, visceral, and intrinsic movement studies he made with European schools of osteopathy.
An inveterate traveler, Tom has practiced integrative manual therapy for over 30 years in a variety of clinical and cultural settings, including 10 years in London, and traveling practices in Hamburg, Rome, Nairobi, and Sydney, as well as a dozen locales in the US. He is a member of the International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI).
Author of Anatomy Trains (Elsevier 2001) and a set of supporting videos, Tom has also penned over 60 articles for trade magazines and journals on anatomy, soft tissue manipulation, and the social scourge of somatic alienation and loss of reliance on kinesthetic intelligence.
A certified Touch-in-Parenting instructor, Tom retains a strong interest in peri-natal issues relating to movement.
Living on the coast of Maine, Tom directs Kinesis, which conducts professional certification and continuing education courses worldwide. |

This hands-on workshop explores the logic and application of pelvic biomechanics to assessment and treatment of structural/postural imbalance. The Pelvis joins the legs to the spine and is the 'keystone' of human architecture, as well as being home to many feelings, and the site of many traumas, for both men and women. The 20 or so deep intrinsic muscles surrounding the pelvis are arranged in fans that hold these postures as well as the feelings, and this workshop explores this 'touchy' area with specificity and sensitivity. Come explore these muscles via palpation and manual therapy techniques for finding, stretching, opening, and understanding the deep lateral rotators, adductors, groin muscles, and pelvic floor.
Highlights include:
* The abductors on the side of the thigh
* The deep lateral rotators and pelvic ligaments
* The adductors and ischial ramus, with connections to the pelvic floor, and
* The psoas complex
This workshop will help you:
* Assess your client's postural and movement patterns with greater accuracy and integration
* Use this information to develop effective treatment plans that address specific client needs
