Workshop Intention
To Introduce gentle manual therapy techniques (OsteoFascial Integration) specifically designed to address the needs of people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders.
Extend an Invitation to therapists into the world of those who live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders and learn how to approach their individual needs appropriately.
Most manual therapists are taught how to release restricted tissue; tissue that is bound, leading to reduced range of motion. But what happens if the tissue is lax? A whole new paradigm of treatment emerges!
Introducing OsteoFascial Integration
OFI emerged as culmination of my many years of adapting manual and osteopathic techniques, many based in craniosacral therapy, as a means to address the unique and often perplexing and complex needs of people who live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), and hereditable connective tissue disorders (HCTD). Oftentimes, typical physical therapy, manual therapy, massage therapy, osteopathic manual medicine, and craniosacral therapy can be “too much” for clients with EDS/HSD. Adapting to meet the individual needs of each client is one of the basic tenets of these modalities, yet, therapists will describe frustration and concern that their patients are not improving, or worse, becoming injured. OsteoFascial Integration introduces a paradigm shift to treatment to address the most delicate of our clients and offer genuine, gentle manual therapy specific to the unique physical, emotional and spiritual qualities of people who live with connective tissue disorders.
I am in the process of registering “OsteoFascial Integration” as a trademarked name and modality and am actively pursuing continuing education provider status for the material.

Workshop Schedule (times are subject to change slightly)
The class is designed as three day class, however, a 4-day option is available.
Days 1 & 2 are dedicated to didactic and experiential learning of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and the concepts and techniques of OsteoFascial Integration.
Days 3 & 4 are dedicated to the EDS Community member volunteers, the EDS Roundtable discussion and OFI technique and treatment implementation with volunteer participation.
Volunteers from the EDS Community are enthusiastically invited to participate in the Roundtable discussion and act as volunteer clients during the workshop so that the students may learn FROM you. In turn, you will receive treatment from the students based on the techniques they learn during the workshop and you will have an opportunity to educate your regional manual therapists in how best to help you when you need them.
