Optional pre-course study
Nerve and Artery Study Guide - neck and upper thorax
Self-treatment -- basic NVR neck stretches with anatomy lesson. (This is the first lesson in the Movement-Based NVR online course. We will be working more specifically in our Manual NVR course, but this generalized work is also very powerful!)
Questions to answer before the first day of class
Technique demos and opportunity to join distance learning class
Internal thoracic artery technique demo (recorded during live class in 2018)
