Presentation Description:

Throughout
 these sessions
 you 
will 
explore 
the
 multi ­layered
 impacts
 of
 our
 work
 on
 the
 Nervous
 System
 in
 regards 
to 
touch,
 movement,
 posture,
 pain, 
and
 embodiment.


Concepts 
such as
 the 
science
 of
 touch, assessing/ correcting
 postural,
 movement
 and 
pain
 patterns,
 the 
importance
 of 
embodied 
awareness,
 and
 how 
to
 cultivate
 therapeutic
 presence 
and 
conscious
 communication
 skills will be covered.



This series of classes is designed to:

• Enhance your effectiveness in resolving stubborn postural fixations, movement imbalances, and pain patterns.
• Deepen your ability to engage even the most challenging clients.
• Clarify confusion around in-session decisions about what to do,  where, when, and why.
• Inspire curiosity and stoke wonder about bodywork and movement therapy
• Broaden clinical potential and impacts of our work

Class 1: An Introduction to the ‘Beyond Anatomy’ Bodywork and Movement Series

In this initial session, we will answer the question of why it’s essential to include a focus on the nervous system in our work with clients. We will discuss the 4 major components of this series of classes at an introductory level and offer a view into the power of expanding our therapeutic vision to include the nervous system. 

Class 2: Understanding the Convergence of Fascia and the Nervous System

This class will renew the wonder of what is happening under your hands during bodywork. We will look into how bodywork and movement therapy impacts tissues and systems beyond the fasciae, discussing various effects manual and movement interventions. You will gain insight into potential neural drivers of stubborn holding patterns and how to strategise sessions to optimise results.

Class 3: Advancing Our Understanding of Movement, Posture, and Pain

This class will explore how to effectively work with the neural components of movement, posture, and pain. We will discuss: how to make sense of what we see and feel in sessions, some common drivers of movement, posture, and pain patterns, why things hurt, concepts of movement norms, and the role of intensity in our sessions.
