When we measure the relative health of a joint, we mostly
consider
its ease of movement. But, the space between the structures
that
allows for this freedom is as fundamental component of joints as
the
bony structures composing them . . . perhaps the most important
one.
In this workshop you will learn new skills to:
• Stabilize the axial skeleton and mobilize the joint
• Feel the joint space as clearly as the joint structures
• Orient palpation skills toward expanding the space
• Use the additional space to increase range of motion
• Open the joint and reduce pain
• Restore function to injured joints
