ONE
BODY Class Descriptions: 2010
|
| Exciting innovations are happening
in classes in 2010. I'm redesigning my instruction to bring practitioners
more skills and techniques - modeled through successful practice with
clients over many years. As "OB" becomes "ONE BODY,"
each class combines several ways of working with an area of the body
- all within comfort - to relieve stress, pain and imbalances. Instead
of just one technique per class, learn many: movement patterns, release
by positioning, isometrics and integration techniques - all in one class! |
| ALL
IN YOUR HEAD sm
Focuses
on head and neck, shoulders, clavicles and scapulae. Employs
several techniques in these areas: exploring and freeing movement
patterns, releasing structural imbalances through positioning, incorporating
gentle isometric/isotonic resistance. Provides techniques to integrate
changes and re-educate the client.
|
 |
|
GOT
YOUR BACKsm
Focuses
on cervical spine, thorax, scapulae, ribcage, lumbars, and sacrum.
Addresses habitual and potential movement patterns; releases positions
of tension and limitation in upper, middle, and lower back; incorporates
gentle isometric/isotonic resistance to enhance balance. Provides
integrative techniques to reinforce changes and re-educate the client.

|

|
TAKE
A STAND sm
Focuses
on pelvis, hips, upper and lower legs, knees, ankles, and feet.
Provides pre-and post-assessments of standing and walking postures,
identifies habitual movement patterns and options, applies positional
release to enhance postural balance, and incorporates gentle isometric/isotonic
resistance. Provides integrative techniques to reinforce changes and
re-educate the client.
|
| SELF
CARE sm
Teaches
specific exercises for use by both client and practitioner, to release
structural imbalances and personal discomfort, as well as home care
exercises to integrate changes experienced within a session. Class
may be tailored to complement one of the focused-area classes (e.g.
head, neck, shoulder, clavicle, scapulae exercises to accompany "ALL
IN YOUR HEAD").
|
|
ETHICS
(Std. V) sm
Addresses
appropriate and professional responses to emotions and situation that
may arise in bodywork practice, and reviews guidelines for professional
conduct - roles, boundaries, standards. Meets requirements for state
and national (NCBTMB) re-certification CEs.
