Led by Laura Walls, M.S., CCC-SLP, this online course equips healthcare providers with a comprehensive, integrated approach to assessing and treating patients with complex airway, cranial, jaw, breathing, and nervous system concerns. Participants will learn how to connect clinical findings to individualized treatment plans while gaining practical skills in Myo-Rhino assessment, Nasal Release Technique (NRT), cranial lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, and airway-focused care.
By integrating these tools into a systematic clinical framework, providers can expand their treatment capabilities, improve patient assessment, and develop a more holistic approach to supporting patient outcomes.
Learners will leave with a cohesive, immediately applicable assessment-to-treatment system and a clear understanding of how these tools work together to produce outcomes that neither could achieve alone, and become certified in NRT and as a Level 1 Integrative MyoRhino Practitioner.
Learn a comprehensive, systematic approach to evaluating airway function, facial structure, jaw mechanics, tongue function, oral posture, and breathing patternsāand understand how these findings relate to common patient concerns.
Gain practical instruction in Nasal Release Technique (NRT), craniosacral therapy, and cranial lymphatic drainage, including how these techniques can be incorporated into a broader treatment approach.
Learn how to interpret assessment findings and translate them into structured, patient-specific treatment plans using appropriate manual therapies, modalities, and supportive tools.
Explore the connections between airway, cranial, jaw, breathing, and nervous system function to develop a more comprehensive approach to patients with complex clinical presentations.
