Body Mapping: Helping Your Client Help Themselves
This one day (8 CEU’s) workshop is designed to give manual therapists a clear, concise, and easily applicable “map” of experiential anatomy specifically designed to help clients change how they use their bodies. The nervous system responds to our ideas about how our body works – regardless of how accurate those ideas are. If we can help clients change their ideas of how they are asking their bodies to function, we are giving them the tools to actively participate in their recovery, rather than being caught in the disheartening cycle of pain-treatment-relief-recreate pain. In this workshop, we will identify the most common misconceptions that people have regarding their bodies, and identify a simple and proven “remapping” to give the clients so they can begin to use their body with ease and efficiency.

July 24, 2004 -- 9:30pm - 1:30pm / 2:30pm - 6:30pm
Touching - The Art of Listening
This one day (8 CEU’s) workshop is for all manual therapists who desire more sophisticated skills in communicating and listening through touch. Participants will gain specific tools for heightening the sensitivity in their hands. We will become aware of unnecessary tension in ourselves which can limit sensitivity and lessen our capacity for informative touch. We will understand how to achieve a truly intelligent, perceptive, and instructive sense of touch, regardless of the amount of weight or effort required

August 8, 2004 -- 9:30pm - 1:30pm / 2:30pm - 6:30pm
Working by Hand: A Survival Guide for Manual Therapists
This one day workshop (8 CEU’s) offers all manual therapists an opportunity to recognize and change the habitual patterns which cause tension, fatigue, pain, repetitive movement injuries, and professional burnout. Participants will learn basic principles of coordination and neuromuscular re-education which, when applied appropriately, allow the practitioner to effectively replace effort and overworking with ease and grace while working. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of their own habitual patterns and the tools necessary to affect long-term changes
