Bodyworkers use movement in their work everyday. With this workshop, you’ll be able to transform simple movements into an effective component of each session—and make a subtle and powerful shift in your work. Students often say this class is the easiest to integrate with current modalities. Clients love it!
The entire body will be covered. As with all Ortho-Bionomy, working with movement initiates a self-corrective process that restores alignment and function, re-educates and strengthens the body, enhances bodymind awareness and overall well-being. Body mechanics to help the practitioner is emphasized throughout the workshop. Develop your skill to recognize and palpate movement patterns of joints, muscles, fascia and whole body movement patterns. Experience how movement can be an invaluable tool for every session to:
• Assess where to work in minutes, even seconds,
• Free the body of restrictions and pain,
• Demonstrate expanded range and freedom of movement,
• Re-pattern and integrate improvements achieved for deep, long-lasting benefit,
• Increase circulation and lymph flow with ease,
• Release stuck, stubborn areas,
• Create connection throughout the body and improve coordination, flexibility and fluidity,
• Give clients a positive, “alive” feeling in their bodies and enhance physical presence,
• Add a fun, effective, and dynamic element to your work that is easy on the practitioner and client.
A few spontaneous comments from students made at the conclusion of this workshop:
“I didn’t realize how much movement can add to a session. My client was on Cloud Nine.” A.V. LMT-IL
“I’m starting to sense what’s happening in the body so much more!” J.N. LMT-IL
“The increase in range of motion from that technique was remarkable.” A.B. LMT-IL
“After only one class, I’m doing things with clients that I never would have considered doing before. The results are great. In a matter of minutes I know where the client needs work. I can hardly wait to learn more.” C.W. LMT-IL
"This class allowed me to feel a completeness about releases that were occurring in my own body. The releases opened up a range of movement in one area then expanded to release another area and then integrated with more movement. The freedom I now feel in my body is complete and 'sealed'. I feel great!" Pattie, Glen Allen, VA
