Course Description:
The work of massage and bodywork professionals, manual therapists, movement educators, and structural integrators increases client well-being by relaxing muscle tension and releasing restrictions in myofascial tissues.
These bodywork approaches can begin to improve posture and introduce clients to more fluid coordination. Following a bodywork session, a client may temporarily experience a more dynamic way of balancing themselves in the gravity field. To empower clients to build coordination skills more consistently, however, practitioners need additional tools, techniques, and client self-care practices.
Questions to consider:
Is balance static?
How do we stabilize ourselves?
The act of balance is not a static event but rather a dynamic experience as we adjust continually to achieve stabilization. We are constantly moving, shifting, and re-positioning, even when we're standing still.
When walking, our feet are continually making small, subtle adjustments while the sensory-motor part of our nervous system gathers and processes information.
Students in this class learn to engage more fully with the sensory-motor cortex, deepening our perceptive capacity and enhancing our sensory awareness. We explore ideokinesis (using guided imagery and metaphor to enhance movement) to become more fully embodied and better able to transmit this capacity to our clients, guiding them to notice and thereby change outdated postural habits and body image.
In "Dynamic Stability," students learn in-depth, complex movement integration strategies enabling them to perform 45-60-minute movement sessions with clients.
Students will practice using tools and props (Therabands and hiking poles, etc.) and ways to guide clients through interactive practices (pushing their feet against a wall, etc.) while learning to effectively communicate through evocative and directional language. By practicing the clear use of language to enhance client motor control, students learn to offer clients the sense of optimal coordination. Such coordination registers in the client as physical confidence which then spreads to all aspects of the client's self and becomes psychological confidence.
Whether you are a yoga teacher, Pilates Instructor, massage therapist, or structural integrator, "Dynamic Stability" will enhance your interaction and effectiveness with your clients. Adding imagery, evocative language, and movement prompts to your therapeutic interventions will empower your clients to enhance their coordination and heighten their expressivity.
