The workshop delves deeper into the anatomy, breathing mechanism, function and physiology of the thorax. Precise advanced techniques will be taught and the workshop will present specific and advanced techniques and explain the anatomy, breathing mechanism, function and physiology of the thorax. The course will build on the knowledge of the thorax region as learned in VM4, review the myofascial structures of the thorax, explore the hyoid suspensory apparatus, thyroid, tonsils and pharynx, learn more precise techniques for the esophagus, pleura, heart and pericardium and demonstrate treatment techniques to enhance the breathing mechanism.
