Series Description

All of the material presented in this course is unique, developed by Sharon W. Giammatteo, Ph.D., P.T.. None of the techniques in any of the courses have ever been presented by any persons outside of DCR. This material has been developed during the past several years: the result of almost 30 years of treating all client populations with all avenues of manual therapy. W. Giammatteo’s physical therapy education and training, enhanced by undergraduate learning which culminated in a degree in Advanced Health Sciences and Medicine, furthered by a graduate degree in Clinical Neurosciences, led her further into clinical research and doctoral studies. The results of her Ph.D. program included a degree reflecting expert knowledge in the field of neuromusculoskeletal function, with a focus on the neurologic population. Sharon has over a thousand hours of continuing education seminars with the world’s recognized experts in cranial and manual therapy. She is today considered a leader in the field of Integrative Manual Therapy_ for the orthopedic, neurologic, geriatric and pediatric population.

The faculty of The Cranial Therapy Series are among leaders in the field of manual and cranial therapy. Their clinical expertise and experience is recognized internationally, and their teaching abilities are remarkable.

‘Integrative’ means all-encompassing, inclusive, and comprehensive. This exciting and unique content which is presented in The Cranial Therapy Series is ‘integrative’ for all professionals, all health care disciplines, and all client populations. The material will provide a solution for headaches and migraines, spinal pain and disability, chronic pain, cerebral palsy, closed and traumatic brain injury, and all other orthopedic and neurologic client populations. The physical and occupational therapist can restore movement and functional activities; the speech therapist can address speech, swallowing and oral-motor function; the psychotherapist and psychiatrist will be able to address organic and endogenous problems; the body worker will improve health and wellness for better living; and more.
