Advanced SMRT Head & Neck

This live course is only for those who have taken the basic SMRT: Head & Neck video or live course.

We begin with SMRT releases for the muscles of the neck.  Adding to our existing knowledge, we will explore different releases for each muscle.  Along with adding new releases, we will go through two handed releases for each muscle.  Finally, we will work on muscle binding and release the perimysium (the connective tissue surrounding each muscle bundle) and the endomysium (the connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber) to reduce binding and allow optimal space within each muscle.

As we work through new releases for the muscles of the Neck, we will pick up releases for the superior shoulder muscles.  We will also add to our muscle releases by exploring how the cervical spine, clavicles, first ribs, and scapulas effect muscle tension.  We will use these bones to release the muscles, ligaments, and fascia attached to them.

Each step of the way we will be discussing the fascia in the neck and how we can release the superficial cervical fascia and the layers of the deep cervical fascia.

In our next section we will discover ways to use SMRT to balance the structures in the head, creating movement and fluidity in the sutures and tissues in the head and face.  Our ultimate focus is on balancing the sphenoid bone, but we will work through almost every bone in the head as we accomplish this.

Finally, two clients will join me and I will work on each of them showing you application of the SMRT techniques we have learned and adding new moves as I go.

Advanced SMRT Arm & Hand

This live course is only for those who have taken the basic SMRT: Arm & Hand video or live course.

We begin with SMRT releases for the muscles of the upper arm, forearm and hand.  Adding to our existing knowledge, we will explore different releases for each muscle.  Along with adding new releases, we will go through two handed releases for each muscle.  Next, we will add in releases for the lateral shoulder and axilla, and finally, we will work on muscle binding and release the perimysium (the connective tissue surrounding each muscle bundle) and the endomysium (the connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber) to reduce binding and allow optimal space within each muscle.

Moving from the muscles, we will work directly with the bones.  We will begin by assessing range of motion in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand joints.  Then we will address each bone looking for mobility and position of the bone and how that effects or is affected by the muscles.  As we go, we will learn to look for divergent points in the bones, and we will learn how to use SMRT to unlock these divergent patterns.

Fascia will be our final piece in the initial phase.  Changing our focus, we will learn how to apply SMRT to directly target the fascia, tendons, and ligaments in the upper arm, forearm, and hand.
