Assessing and Treating the Shoulder Girdle and Arms
with Deane Juhan
February 13 & 14, 2010
Saturday & Sunday 9 am - 6 pm
16 hours ($300) |
| The muscles that empower the arms extend from the skull to the pelvis, attach to every vertebra and encompass the entire rib cage. They include some of the largest muscles of the body, as well as some of those that are the most prone to both occupational and emotional stress. Successful treatment of this ensemble will relieve many typical sites of pain and restriction and open wider possibilities for the development of more effective posture and movement. More than that, the effective softening of the shoulder girdle will bring relief and restore support for a wide variety of difficulties that develop in relation to the holding patterns of this extensive muscular jacket--spinal discomfort, diminished lung capacity, disturbed balance, inefficient locomotion, wasted energy and compromised blood and lymph flow and neural conduction. Your clients lives will be enhanced in many ways by your more effective treatment of the shoulder girdle. And, since the arms are the operative tools of your own trade, learning to maintain their balance and suppleness will contribute a great deal to the prevention of your own pain and burnout.
Please bring shorts and bra tops so that you can be easily seen and contacted.
Students will deepen their skills in:
--assessing clients histories and evaluating existing patterns in the shoulder girdle
--planning a session strategy that meets their specific needs
--using the tools of their training more effectively
--applying new tools to their practice
--their own body mechanics at the table
--reducing their stress and fatigue at the table
