This ground-breaking 5-Day Course is coming ato KNÓSIS!

Improve your Thoracic Ring Skills for more effective treatment & Exercise Progression in ConnectTherapy™.
If you’ve taken the ConnectTherapy & the Thorax course and started to implement the Thoracic Ring Approach into your clinical practice, you know the power of treating the Thoracic Rings for a wide variety of patient symptoms and conditions and “getting to the wow”. You also know that there are some thoraxes that are harder to assess and treat, and you need more hands-on practice and feedback to progress your skills. You need this course! Join LJ & her assisting team to take both your assessment and treatment skills to the next place and increase your confidence in finding and treating Thoracic Ring Drivers.

This course consists of approximately 10 hours of Virtual Online content with treatment guidelines and pearls, followed by 3 full days of InPerson learning.
Review and practice your Thoracic Ring Correction skills for both assessment and treatment and improve your treatment outcomes by:

• getting feedback on your quality and percentage of Ring Corrections

• practice vector analysis of Ring Drivers and CoRing Drivers and get feedback on identifying and releasing the most relevant vectors – be more efficient with your time spent on release so that you have more time for training and your release makes exercise training more effective

• review how to implement the powerful ConnectTherapy exercise training tools – Cue Checks, Self Checks, Reset Exercises & Preset Exercises

• practice “Stack & Train” in different positions to facilitate exercise progression

• clinically reason through how to progress training for Thoracic Ring Drivers

This Treatment Skills & Exercise Prescription course covers key exercise and training progressions for Thoracic Ring Drivers and provides the opportunity to take your Thoracic Ring hands-on skills for both assessment and treatment to the next level! You’ll also be introduced to how to apply the Thoracic Ring Approach & ConnectTherapy in the Pilates context – ConnectPilates™ for the Thoracic Rings.
