I will be giving a workshop on Saturday April 16th called Self Treatment. The idea of this workshop has been brewing in me for a while and is based on ideas that help to teach people how to take care of themselves in between physical therapy sessions or for general prevention. When you have an injury, pain or disease that you have been dealing with sometimes it takes more than just a few exercises to help you heal. You need to have tools that help to nourish the body, energize it, and help boost the healing process.
The tools that I will be teaching in April are a combination of different corrective and restorative techniques that can help to heal and help prevent injury. The first tool I will introduce is Total Motion Release, where we will learn to find the good side of the body and treat it to help heal the bad side. These techniques are simple, practical and they work. They also help people to practice a deeper level of body awareness, as do all of the tools I will teach in the workshop, which is one of the keys to healing.
The next area of focus will be stretching. I am going to help the participants understand the idea of myofascial stretching that addresses the deep connective tissue system of the body that can hold restrictions that cause pain and disease. We will practice a couple different ways to stretch for a deep release.
And lastly I am going to show how to use body balls for soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release. Using a tool to help put pressure into a restriction can be a wonderful way to achieve a release without the aid of the therapist.
If you have any questions about the workshop or the ideas mentioned above, please contact me: email: bodyworkspt@comcast.net or visit my website: www.bodyworksptonline.com
