Due to the ongoing health concerns around Covid-19, and in accordance with directives from the State of Maine and Maine CDC, we have transitioned much of our summer program to online live courses and webinars with Tom Myers and some of our amazing guest instructors. We hope to have you join us live online this summer!
2020 Advanced Summer Courses
Reclaiming Your Livelihood: Neurovascular Release for the Jaw and Head Live Online with Kirstin Schumaker – REGISTRATION CLOSED

Open to both manual therapists and movement professionals.
As a manual therapist, because of COVID concerns and mask-wearing, you may be feeling limited in what you can do to address jaw tension and the TMJ symptom of clicking. Or you may never have worked with jaw muscles and you are curious about how you can help your clients have freer movement and reduced head, neck, and jaw tension, without you actually touching them.
As a movement therapist who is an anatomy geek, you may be interested in refined head, neck, and jaw self-care techniques that you can pass on to your students.
