Family members can choose to sit in on Functional Medicine/Lifestyle lectures and if they are willing to have you and/or other students practice their OMM skills on them they can even participate in the lab/practice time of the program.

OMM for the Neck and Thoracic Inlet
Five OMM Techniques Covered:
* Muscle Energy
* High Velocity Low Amplitude
* Strain-Counterstrain
* The Still Technique
* Soft Tissue Technique

Comments from previous course evaluations:
- I can’t wait to start using the techniques I learned through this course.
- I feel that I now have a higher focus on detailed exam.
- I plan to implement more of the strategies for examination that were reviewed.
- Many of my patients are almost all elderly, I found this course to be filled with useful techniques that I plan trying on them.
- I will use what I learned in sports medicine practice. The muscle energy was especially helpful.
- I now have a more complete understanding of basic concepts (direct, indirect, active, passive technique) Definitely plan on using the Still Technique!
