Body Mapping:
Helping your Client to help Themselves
Alexander Alliance SW Students
at a body mapping Lesson
This one day (8 CEU's ) workshop is designed to give manual therapists a clear, consise 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 sbout how our body works- regardless of how accurate these 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 clients, so they can begin to use their body with ease and efficiency.
