Course Description

Description of Advanced Integration Course Series: Because of a shift in our healthcare economy, many of our students have shared with us that they find it more and more difficult to delve deep with IMT because they are limited in time with their clients. More and more of our students and colleagues are working with insurance and/or persons that are limited in funds. Because of this feedback, we have created the Advanced Integration Course Series, providing our advanced students with learning on how to delve deeper into the advanced IMT coursework in less time. These classes provide the IMT practitioner with critical thinking and integration related to the material in the class. Each Advanced Integration Course will include material from several specifically listed advanced IMT courses that cover a similar topic. During the course, the instructor will provide the student with a deeper understanding of the material and how to use the techniques from the different classes in concert, particularly in situations where we are limited in time.

Course Description: During this course, Teaching Faculty will present advanced IMT and Integrative Diagnostics relating to the gastrointestinal tract and digestive system. Lecture-style presentation will include a review of IMT from the courses listed below as well as an integration of how to use the material in combination to delve deeper with greater understanding.

The Advanced Integration: GI Focus will integrate the following advanced IMT coursework:

  • Visceral Mobilization of the GI Tract & Visceral Fascial Release (MFRA1)
  • Liver
  • Pancreas IMT
  • Small Intestines
  • Cecum & Gluten Sensitivity
  • Sigmoid & Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Some advanced Integrative Diagnostics for the Digestive System

Excellent course, new information, a lot of clarity for me especially for my clients with abdominal cancer, gastro paresis. I feel the questions ask by the participant are very important, the problem is , online participants cannot hear the questions that have been ask, and cannot ascertain what has been ask just by the answer provided by the instructor.
