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 to use in this session.
Suggested Audience: Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and Speech Language Pathologists
