Following the success of this month’s course I’m announcing a new date.
Email me on info@neuro-physiotherapist.co.uk for more information
A one day, face to face course in Billericay, Essex, on Friday October 18th 2024
For all therapists (physios, OT’s, osteopaths etc) who are interested in Human Movement.
Working with patients to help them to understand and explore their movement boundaries. Promoting more positive movement patterns, reducing discomfort and improving confidence
There is a slight skew towards neurological disorders and elderly rehabilitation, but it is relevant to all therapists who have patients whose movements are limited through:
• ingrained poor patterns of movement, with reduced awareness of their body
• fear of movement due to chronic pain or falls
• changes to neurological systems (stroke/MS/PD FND etc),
The focus is on human movement and how to improve confidence, through safe and controlled exploration of boundaries.
Helping your patients to:
• Understand their own movement and how/why it is limited
• promote self exploration
• expand their movement boundaries
• experience positive movement again,
The day will include an overview of:
• how altered sensory feedback (eyes, vestibular app, sensation, proprioception) effects ‘normal’ human movement
• How we can direct our patients’ attention to alter sensory feedback, changing how that sensation is perceived
• How state of mind (fear, expectations etc) alters human movement
There will be a large practical element where we will explore:
• Building rapport/trust and leading/following techniques
• Simple use of breath to alter state.
• Self-exploration of own body and altered movement patterns/sensory feedback to gain personal experience of how change happens.
• How to quickly build ‘grounding’ and controlled, safe self-exploration of boundaries to build better movement.
• Patient case studies and discussion of how you can use the treatment techniques with a wide variety of your patients.
