Four Part Video Series with Workbook

Volume I
Structural Assessment and correction of the Pelvic Region
Volume I deals with evaluation and correction of improper structure with a variety of simple techniques and in a treatment order that makes sense; structure of the lower body including lumbar, sacrum, pelvis, hip, knee and ankle joints. Volume I is dedicated to the identification and correction of structural abnormalities of the pelvic region. No segment of bodywork has been as exciting or as effective in practice as the restructuring of the human body. Words cannot describe the joy and feeling of accomplishment that this work has given every therapist who has enrolled in the Onsen® series. Patients that you have been unable to help with the many techniques you have learned may be called back in for another go around. The clinical results are amazing. One thing is that their structure is in a state of imbalance. This may be perpetuated by length and strength imbalances or complicated by other soft tissue conditions, but correcting the structure is the basis for Permanent Change in the patients condition. Any soft tissue which is under tensile or compressive stress cannot possibly be relieved of its pain producing properties as long as the structural stress remains constant. Temporary relief is a possibility, but permanent relief is not possible without first correcting the structural imbalance. click for prices
Volume II
Functional Assessment and correction of the Lower Body
Volumes II & IV cover the functional aspects of the entire body with Volume II concentrating on the Lower Body & Volume IV concentrating on the Upper Body. We will focus our attention on length and strength testing. These functional evaluations will tell us why the patient is in the position they are and/or why their structure might change dramatically when they reach fatigue during work or exercise. These tests will also be aimed at reproducing the patient's symptoms so that we might be able to find the true source, which is the key to their pain production.  click for prices
Volume III
Structural Assessment and correction of the Upper Body
Volume III covers the structure of the upper body including the cervical & thoracic spine, shoulder, elbow and wrist. This course is icing on the cake and has relieved many shoulder, neck and head pain symptoms especially after using the other 3 volumes to straighten the side bending and rotations of the spine that so commonly put pressure into the upper body areas.  click for prices

The workbook will provide you with a resource that you can take into the treatment room with you.  It is designed to include information which was too wordy and lengthy to include on the videotapes.  It will clarify many of the questions you might have as you view the videotapes.  The workbook has been arranged in sections and each page has been labeled in the upper right corner so that you will be able to jump from one section of the tape to another and have no difficulty correlating the workbook and tape.  click for prices
