ATMS National Seminar Series 2021- Adelaide

ATMS National Seminar Series 2021- ADELAIDE

Fascia , meridians and lower body constriction patterns

The National Seminar Series is back in 2021 for another road trip around some of Australia’s capital cities in February, touring Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

You have the chance to join two highly experienced presenters, John Kirkwood and David Sheehan, who will teach participants about resolving patterns of constriction in the lower body through the myofascial and meridian systems.

In this one day seminar, John and David will examine the close relationship between the acupuncture meridian system and the trigger point system developed by Dr. Janet Travell in the 1940’s. They will also investigate the geography of fascial lines of tension, meridians in the body and how in many ways they mimic each other.

After presenting theoretical arguments, John and David will give a visual representation of both meridians and fascial lines with the aid of body drawing, where the audience will gain a real-life visual representation of the interrelationship between both systems.

John and David will also explore practical applications for various conditions of the lower body including lumbar pain, sciatica, sacroiliac constriction, tight hamstrings, Achilles tendon problems, knee issues and plantar fasciitis.

Don’t miss out on learning face-to-face with these two practitioners in a city near you. Tickets will be limited based on the COVID-19 venue restrictions at the time.
