Treating intrinsic spinal musculature especially the illiocostalis ‘lateral seam’.

Understanding the relationship of spinal motion with lumber and thoracic spine restrictions.

Assess global or regional patterns that effect the thorax, especially ‘shift’, tilt’, ‘bend’ and ‘rotation’, and use modified MET to change these restrictions.

Learn the relationship between a macro and micro approach and the inter-relatedness of these structures.

Clear primary directional scapular restrictions; protraction, retraction, elevation, depression and ‘roll’.
