4CEUs NCBTMB # 1000385

Date: January 28th 2022

Time: 9:30am-1:30pm

WHAT WE WILL LEARN:

• Understand trauma and touch through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory - how to create safety and stabilization of the ANS through touch and movement- core mechanisms in Massage/Manual Therapy

• See the Autonomic Nervous System flexibility as its most important function and the Vagus nerve as the forgotten most important superhighway of our bodies

• Understand why our perfectly learned and delivered manual techniques work only sometimes

• Explore safe manual and movement approaches for self-regulation of the ANS during times of uncertainty and sympathetic survival dominance

• Learn specific manual techniques to painful body parts that are resisting change or touch as a result of elevated stress and anxiety

• All approaches are easy to be self-applied - please, share them with your clients via your online platforms.

This is the purpose of this webinar!

YOU WILL RECEIVE:

1. Upon registration, a curriculum and prerequisite reading before each individual session

2. Clinical pearls for improved practice results

3. Access to audio and video recordings

4. A PDF of the presenter’s slides

5. Links to all referenced research papers and useful clinical handouts

6. Your exclusive invitation to discussions and questions

This 4 hours class is far from the complete comprehensive Trauma-informed curriculum but we’ll use ‘THE ESSENCE-SCIENCE OF IT- cognitive biases define how we feel positive and negative events in our bodies. When we are feeling not safe and uncertain, the body adopts anxious patterns, which perpetuate stress. Our clinically-tested approach is simple! By evoking ventral Vagal tone through the body, our brains are trained to focus on the positive, which reduces stress and anxiety within minutes and builds resilience over time. The result - promoting proper immune response!

The whole curriculum is a 3-day training during which you will learn how to use the trauma-informed massage and embodiment approaches with clients in your 1-1 sessions: Find out more here!

MT applications for the vagus nerve- myth, evidence and reality for the MT practice”

Approved provider # 1000385

Date: Saturday August 28th, 2021

9:30am - 4:30pm
Location: TBA

What we will learn :

• current concepts in Neuroanatomy - ANS versus CNS or ONE unified nervous system - and it’s expression in the body.

• current research on massage/manual therapy approaches for engaging the Vagus N as a resource for resilience by today’s pioneers in the fields(B.van Der Kolk MD, St.Porges, PhD, J.Upleger DO, J.P.Barral DO, B.Chikly DO, E.Marlien DO, St.Rosenberg)

• recognize different autonomic states in the human body conveyed through the Vagus n.

• Muscles of the stress, the Social Engagement System and the Heart- Face connection

• Implications for working with people experiencing the “long COVID 19”

• Specific manual techniques for accessing the Vagus nerve, at different areas of the:

  • Neuro-fascial release of A-O (atlanto-occipital) joint

  • Mobilization of Vagus N in the neck

  • Mobilization of Vagus N in abdominal cavity

  • Combined Neuro-fascial release, eye + tongue movements and meditation for anchoring ventral Vagal tone

• Integrating manual access to Vagus nerve for regulating the ANS in every day life, for our clients and for ourselves.

• simple movement combined with touch/MT to affect the Vagus n/ANS

• Tsa Lung meditation and exercise in combination with MT for self- and for advising the clients.
