Bodywork for the 21st Century.
Functional Bodywork in Standing with James Earls
Clients seek hands on because they want to reduce their symptoms and improve their performance – we want to help with both at the same time.
Functional Bodywork allows the practitioner to work with motor control, joint and soft-tissue issues with the same technique – the client is simultaneously assessed, treated and re-educated with pain-free interventions.
Previously known as ‘Born to Move’, the Functional Bodywork workshops blend functional movement principles with hands-on manipulation of the soft tissue to give you completely new and exciting assessments and treatment strategies for your clients. There are 2 Workshops in the Functional Bodywork series: Functional Bodywork in Standing & Functional Bodywork Side-lying and 4-Point Kneeling.
This workshop is Functional Bodywork in Standing where you will learn how to modify client positioning and movement to create predictable reactions through the client’s system. The work can be done in whatever position is most appropriate for client comfort, strength and balance, or according to the needs of the treatment plan. By the end of the of training, the therapist will know exactly how to create movements that support the client’s goals.
Not only do the workshops give you a full range of treatment principles but it also gives you an immediate sense of true functional anatomy. The body’s natural tensegrity, its ‘kinetic chain’, or it’s ‘chain reaction’, however you wish to word it, is all felt, assessed, and worked with directly during treatment. We do not make up ‘anatomy stories’, limit you to ‘anatomy models’, or follow one school of thought – in this workshop the client’s system and its movement are the only references.
The workshops can be seen as a pair with the Kneeling one or either can be taken individually.
