Description:
The course is designed to promote understanding of the power of
personal touch to heal and to train the participant with specific
techniques applicable to the pediatric population. The presentation will
explore the use of fascial and craniosacral techniques and discuss how
they impact modulation, postural alignment and sensory processing.
Through lab experiences, participants will learn ‘hands on’ techniques
while getting a boost in their own energy. All techniques taught are
usable in clinic and home programs. Applications to the pediatric
population and how to integrate these techniques with current practice
will be discussed. Presentation of ‘self help’ techniques for healing the
healer are included. Dress comfortably for practical experiences and
leave with skills that can be put to immediate use. Be sure to bring a
pillow and blanket/yoga mat to use during this course.
