Manual Articular Approach: Upper Extremity (MAUE)

Synopsis: These courses explore a comprehensive approach to joints. They integrate all aspects of the joint including the nerve, artery, bone, capsule, and ligaments, as well as visceral and emotional connections.

Course Highlights:

  • Delve into the joints like never before. Examine the nerves of each joint, along with the arteries, meniscus, ligaments, capsule attachments and folds.
  • Work with soft tissue mobilization of the associated bones, while looking at direct and indirect relationships between the bones of the body.
  • Explore the relationship between the viscera and the joints.
  • Discover how the joints receive and emit messages with other parts of the body, as well as the emotional connections.
  • Learn how to evaluate and treat each major joint (spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, pelvis, knee, ankle) for its primary dysfunction from the anatomical or physiological systems that contribute to it.
  • Explore such indications as clinical pain, sprains, arthrosis, and inflammation in a brand new way.
  • Understand why Jean-Pierre Barral feels that this will become his most famous curriculum.
