ISMT was formed by Jonathan Martine, who is joined by many talented practitioners and teachers.

While our primary focus is on developing strategies to complement the work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf and Structural Integration; we find that these approaches are relevant for all manual therapists. The fascias and other connective tissues in the body provide a medium for change.

Our classes explore this unique, pervasive tissue as it wraps, envelopes, protects and supports the muscles, nerves, organs, vessels, joints and bones. We are dedicated to presenting and developing effective strategies to restore function, improve performance and relieve suffering. Our ongoing inquiry drives us toward useful and complementary approaches. Come along on the path.

Neurovascular Mobilization of the Peripheral Nerves of the Shoulder and Pelvic Girdles with Jon Martine

May 4, 5 and 18, 19, 2024

Boulder, Colorado 80304

This class explores the relationship of neural/vascular fascial restriction to structural imbalances and myofascial patterns. When the body has nerve or vascular fascia that is restricted and fails to glide, the entire system becomes pre-occupied. Reducing this “pre-occupation” is necessary for reducing pain and restoring optimal function. We will explore a neurovascular (fascial) approach to the 10-series linking local mobility to posture, coordination and function.
We will explore through lecture, palpation and hands-on exchange:
• Assessments for myofascial, neural fascial, joint, and movement restriction.
• How impaired neurovascular mobility restrict movement of fascia, joints and core stability.
• Develop integrative strategies to assess and address peripheral restrictions from cutaneous layers through tunnels to muscular, and articular pathways for lasting change, from local restriction to global function.
• Integrative strategies for your structural integration 10-series and other session work. Learn how to immediately complement your work with clients.
• Tuition $900 register with Jon at 720-226-1508 or Jonathanmartine@me.com.
