FCS AR: The Arterial System

FCS AR explores the newly discovered entity of arterial-fascial dysfunction. This condition, identified by the presence of specific arterial tender points, is essentially a vasospasm of the large, named arteries of the body. Symptoms examples include : myalgia, Achilles tendonitis, epicondylitis, migraines, pseudo-radiculopathies, LBP, cervicalgia, Adhesive Capsulitis, patella-femoral dysfunction, TMD, etc. Treatment of Arterial dysfunction using SCS normalizes elevated vascular tone, and alleviates all associated musculoskeletal symptoms.

Outline:

• Origin of Arterial SCS
• Anatomy and Physiology of the Arterial System
• Review the anatomy and physiology of arterial fascia (tunica adventitia) and its nociceptive and mechanoreceptive properties
• Understand how nocifensive and nociautonomic reflexes lead to the formation of arterial tenderpoints.
• Gain proficiency in over 85 newly developed SCS techniques to correct arterial-fascial dysfunction in all parts of the body.

Goals/Objectives:

• Improve your understanding of arterial anatomy and physiology including vascular tunics.
• Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of arterial dysfunction in the body.
• Learn to diagnose and correct arterial dysfunction utilizing newly developed Strain Counterstrain techniques.
