Join us in Orlando for Bodywork for PTSD in Orlando!
Bodywork for PTSD 1: August 23-24
This 2-day workshop (16 CE) helps massage professionals gain clarity between stress, trauma, and PTSD/PTSI. It provides an in-depth look into the power of a ‘healthy touch’ and its impact on trauma survivors. Participants will learn to anticipate and treat triggers of PTSD episodes, understand their role and scope of practice in the healing process, and get hands-on time with the techniques in instructor-monitored sessions. The lecture will discuss clinical Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) taken from the DSM-V and how it shows up on a massage table and in life. Attendees will explore how a ‘healthy touch’ can facilitate change in the client’s tissues, empower the client to be part of the healing process, and grow their understanding of listening, assessing, and treating stress and PTSD. This workshop provides a fully clothed, trauma-informed, patient-centered approach to treating trauma/PTSD/PTSI through healthy-touch bodywork.
Bodywork for PTSD 2:August 25-26
Bodywork for PTSD 2 maximizes comprehension and integration around the techniques to treat post-traumatic stress. Level 2 refines the general rules and roles for session work in different formats. We introduce techniques that deepen trust through touch and build rapport with clients. We’ll explore the spaces of restriction, resistance, and release. Join us as we integrate manual techniques integrated from craniosacral, myofascial release, kinesiology, active, and passive range of motion. Bodywork for PTSD 2 delivers integrative whole-body manual therapy engineered to optimize the capabilities of the healing body.
