This series is to present concepts and techniques of Integrative Manual Therapy applied to dogs, cats and horses.

During these lab-intensive courses, clinical skills will be guided by experts in the field of Integrative Manual Therapy. The Critical Thinking presented in this class provides development towards independent treatment plan preparation and implementation for full recovery of the ankle and foot, emphazising the problems in the titled field of dysfunction.<o:p></o:p>

For the health of both, body and soul, balance of all single systems of the body is extremely important. We know somato-emotional joinings (emotions to organs) not only from traditional chinese medicine. Mind / Body especially deals with diagnostics and treatment in this field. Global communication within and between our body systems, their balance or restoring to health by contacting specific areas (Neurofascial Process Centers) is an effective and easy to perform part within the complex concept of Integrative Manual Therapy.

Besides NFP Myofascial Mapping, the most important diagnostic tool of Integrative Manual Therapy, enables the practitioner to identify non stuctural disturbances within the body. This brilliant diagnostics makes your treatment effective and efficient, the courses of this series teach you how to address emotional, mental-cognitive and spiritual problems in your patients.

All of the material presented in this series is unique and developed by Dr. Sharon (Weiselfish) Giammatteo in the past 30 years. Diagnostic and treatment of functional impairment within the cranial system are „integrative” for all professionals, all health care disciplines and all client populations.

1. Mobilisation der Durchblutung (Heart) und neuraler Gewebe (Brain)
Anatomy, physiology, energy and mechanics are combined into a process that encompasses the person in a physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual manner.

Classes: BACM / BANM

2. Cranial series
All of the material presented in this series is unique and developed by Dr. Sharon (Weiselfish) Giammatteo in the past 30 years. Diagnostic and treatment of functional impairment within the cranial system are „integrative” for all professionals, all health care disciplines and all client populations.We are offering 4 basic classes and 4 advanced classes in cranial therapy.

Basic classes: CRNS 101, 201, 301, 401
Advanced classes: 501, 502, 503, 504 

3. Neural Tissue Tension
States of tension within the peripheral nervous system and their treatment approach by gentle, indirect techniques are the content of this seminar.

Class: CRNS 103

4. Spezielle Kursreihe zur Facialisparese
Die Facialisparese ist konventioneller Behandlung nur schwer zugänglich, wir bieten Ihnen eine 3 teilige Kursreihe für dieses Problem an.

Kurse: CRNS 521, CRNS 522, CRNS 523

There are many current and popular techniques for the treatment of myofascial problems, such as stretching, manipulation of trigger points and other. The DCR - material uses and influences motilities and rhythms within the connective tissue system for diagnostics and therapy. All techniques are gentle and indirect.

This series offers 2 classes at this time:

Endo 201 taking care of pancreas problems and ENDO 501 taking care of adrenal problems.

The metabolic disorders caused by dysfunction of these organs are assessed, diagnosed and treated in an integrative manner.

Irritable Bowel Syndrom

The Immunity and Detox Series addresses immune and auto-immune functions. In an era of changes and intensified responses to pollution in our environment, improvement of immune responses of the body are extremely important.

The Series gives self-healing tools and tools for the practitioner to affect swelling, lymphatic drainage of toxins, disease and disability. The series addresses both, the functional problems within the lymphatic system as well as the related structural problems.

This series presents seminars dealing with treatment of inflammation and infection in typically affected body regions.

These classes do not introduce a specific technique for one of our body’s systems. Regarding the named anatomic region you get a multisystems approach (Integrated Systems Approach) for treatment, using different techniques from several classes for an effective local-regional treatment protocol.

Now that you have taken several classes in Integrative Manual Therapy and your knowledge in many techniques, concepts and protocols has grown, it is time to learn Integrative Diagnostics to chose exactly, what kind of treatment is needed by your patient. With these skills you will improve your treatment and will gain results in less time, because you have clear diagnostic tools and found out exactly, where there is need for which kind of treatment.

Manual Pattern Recognition

(Advanced) Strain- and Counterstrain addresses both, autonomic and voluntary innervated muscles. Neuroreflexogenic protectionmodes in this body system are found on spinal cord level and can be influenced and eliminated by this therapy. Muscle relaxation and fiber elongation are the results. These techniques are performed by specific positioning of the patient, not by stretching or mechanical work.

This practical course is designed to explore the system of biomechanics. The spine is „assessed“. A „postional diagnosis“is made according to the positions of the specific anatomic landmarks. A „treatment position“ is the applied. This manual therapy process involves patient and therapist interactions. A coordinated series of isometric muscle contractions in precisely controlled directions at very low levels of intensity is the „treatment“.

This Series presents various treatment options of Integrative Manual Therapy for patients suffering from neurological problems.

Compression Syndromes are a typical problem affecting health: an effect first, and a cause later. Any kind of trauma can cause tissue damage. Often the damaged tissue will heal, sometimes the damaged tissue will not heal. Always the damaged tissue requires the body’s protection until it heals. Protection is inhibition of motion in order to avoid further tissue damage. Sometimes the body’s protection will last after the damaged tissue is healed. When the body’s protection lasts after the tissue is healed, this is the result of Sustained Neuroreflexogenic Protective Modes. All these seminars present an effective and efficient approach to treatment of this sustained body protection. Sustained neuroreflexogenic protection without tissue damage causes a new pathology or conservates an old, already healed pathology without reason. Techniques to eliminate not longer needed Sustained Neuroreflexogenic Protective Modes are presented in every of the classes dealing with Compression Syndromes. There is an anatomic division for the classes.

Integrative Manual Therapy for Sports Medicine presents a gentle, non-aggressive alternative for the athletic patient with sports injuriies pointing out the difference in diagnostics and therapy between orthopedic and sport injuries. Treatment concepts for the well trained patient and the less trained patient are presented.

This Series assesses Integrative Manual Therapy on the organs, which are „traditionally” often only treated with surgery or drugs.

The VOSYS Series is a novel and proprietary approach to the correction of the somatic dysfunction that affects the tissues, structures and vessels within the organs and surrounding internal environment.

The focus is space and mobility, the most important prerequisite for optimal function of every structure. Diagnostics and treatment are both, macroscopic as well as microscopic. Regarding mobility, motility, functional outcome of the organ, structural problems and other energy interactions on the organ, these seminars present alternatives to „traditional” treatment by giving you the tools to perform an advanced, not an alternative medicine. Every course teaches the techniques for diagnostic and treatment of Disruption of Membranes (DOM) and Immune Deficiency Motility (IDM, former Infection Motility, IM).
