Attire/Supplies:
Wear loose, comfortable clothing (preferably no jeans.) A light jacket is recommended because temperature can be difficult to control.
Due to potential chemical sensitivities of your classmates, please refrain from wearing perfumes or oils to class. You do NOT need to BRING A MASSAGE/TREATMENT TABLE. Just linens.
IMPORTANT PREPARATION —
Your CS1 experience starts before the class begins. Completing this advance preparation helps you arrive confident, focused, and ready to make the most of every hands-on moment. Watch the introductory videos, review key anatomy and complete the required reading to build a strong foundation for learning in class. A little preparation now sets the stage for deeper understanding, sharper palpation, and greater clinical integration later.
Pre-Requisite:
Professional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in sensitive, light-touch palpation.
Note: Please contact us if you have a health issue whereby intracranial or intraspinal fluid pressure changes would not be advised. CST may be contraindicated for you.

About This Class:
Manual Therapy to Eliminate Multiple Nerve Compression Patterns
of the Upper and Lower Body
State-of-the-art anatomy and nerve graphics will allow manual therapists to look inside the human body. Starting with the brain and spinal cord, therapists will use positional release and soft tissue balancing protocols to address OA & C1-C2 fixations, cervical kyphosis (military neck), spinal stenosis patterns, stuck facet joints, and treat sprains and strains throughout the body. Nerve tests include: the Spurling Test: spinal nerve compression; Eden’s Test: costo-clavicular syndrome; Adson’s Test: scalene and first rib involvement; Wright Abduction Test: pectoralis minor involvement; Tests to identify Cubital Tunnel and Guyon’s Canal (ulnar tunnel) conditions; Pronator Teres Test: median nerve entrapment; and Tests for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Complicated shoulder capsular adhesions will also be addressed. For the Lower Body, The Supine to Sits Test will evaluate for functional versus anatomical leg length discrepancies. Pelvic stabilization will be used to address sacral torsion patterns, iliosacral upslips, joint capsular patterns, femoral nerve compression, and normal muscle firing patterns. Therapists will level the sacral base, and release the Sacrotuberous ligament for sciatic nerve pain. The Straight Leg Test will identify L5/ SI bulges or herniated discs. The Slump Test will identify hamstring strains that scar down the Sciatic Nerve. Tibial Torsions and Fixated Fibular Head Conditions will be corrected, by releasing the biceps femoris muscle, to address the Tibial and Fibular Nerve Entrapments. Manual therapists will also evaluate and release Tarasal Tunnel and Morton’s Neuroma. Home care retraining will include spinal decompression along with nerve glides and nerve tensioning protocol.

Thursday, October 8th - Sunday, October 11th, 2026
In this course, you will be introduced to the models and concepts of functional biomechanics as viewed from Jean-Pierre Barral's Visceral Manipulation approach. This method of evaluation and treatment is based on the concept that each of our internal organs rotates on a physiological axis. Focus is on the abdominal cavity and includes the organs, their membranes, ligaments, innervation and their spatial functional interrelationships. You will learn basic manipulations for correcting abnormal motions and stress patterns within this cavity. The manual techniques are not advised for pregnant participants.
You do NOT need to bring a table, just linens.
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. on the first day of class. A Continental breakfast will be served until 9:00 a.m., at which time the workshop will begin. Subsequent class hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00-5:30 p.m. daily, depending on class participation. The last day will meet from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. Class ending times are approximate, and may vary.

The FIRST SYNDAVER USED FOR MASSAGE EDUCATion IN THE WORLD!
Syndaver Anatomy Education
EMA believes that the foundation of quality bodywork begins with the FUNDAMENTALS.... you got it... KNOWING YOUR ANATOMY! Like the back of your hand! That is why we have developed Syndaver education "The Human Body Rediscovered".
Cadaver Experience has been described by students as extremely eye opening. Seeing the body in a three dimensional sense allows them to have a much firmer understanding of muscles in relationship to surrounding structures such as the organs and the skeletal system they envelop. This approach to learning about the body is highly engaging for our students. They get to actually see the layers of muscles and the relationship of connective tissues layers within the body.
Working with the SYNdaver (simulation of living tissues) we can feel living tissue samples, as well as not be exposed to the harmful preservatives that you have with cadaver labs.
“I often like to say that being a Massage Therapist, or any type of manual or movement therapist / practitioner, and never having seen the inside of the human body is like being a car mechanic and never having opened up the hood!” – Dr. Joe Muscolino
