AB1 certification Adaptive Bodywork (Structural Integration) offers compassionate, transformative, energetic, bodywork, empowering movement awareness education, and the psycho-physiological connection of the mind and body to those seeking optimal function of their bodies.

This is a 16-hour intensive introducing the Adaptive Bodywork Foundation principles and Techniques. This will include theoretical and practical exploration of the principles underlying Structural Integration, building an understanding of session goals and sequencing, and becoming more proficient in the fascial-release techniques fundamental to restoring alignment. We will discuss the appropriate use of Stands, dowels and anti-slip materials as well as the therapists ergonomic considerations including developing smart feet.

This course will take us through a journey of the body’s evolution into a new state of ‘maturity’ and balance as it responds to the strategic release of fascia restriction. You will learn session sequencing, goals, and content based upon this unfolding process within the body. Each session will depend upon your skills in observation and anatomical alignment studied and practiced within this course. Each progressive session will also help to build your experience and confidence in hands-on, fascial release techniques supporting re-alignment, as well as provide real and practical feedback on session work previously completed.

Greetings Everyone, I’m looking forward to seeing you all on the morning of Saturday May 20nd, 2021 between 8:00 and 8:30 for the AB1 certification workshop.

Dress: Please dress in comfortable clothing that will allow comfortable movement.

Food: There are not many interesting options for obtaining food in this area, that I am aware of. I suggest you bring whatever you would like to eat with you. There is a Fridge, a microwave, and coffee available on site.

Lunch: There will be two 15 minute breaks and 1 hour for lunch during the work day which will begin at 8:30 and conclude at 18:30

Feet: We will be using our feet so make sure they are clean and odor free. As we will be using our feet extensively during this workshop I suggest that you treat yourself to a pedicure, you and your fellow practitioners won't regret it.

Four classes of low-threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors innervate the glabrous skin on the sole of the foot. Each class is uniquely sensitive to deformation and motion of the skin and transmits tactile and proprioceptive feedback through sensory afferents to the central nervous system (CNS) that guides our work as Adaptive Bodywork practitioners. These are precious tools. Please treat them as such. This all impoprtant sensory feedback will inform you of the appropriate shear and pressure during the application of techniques while keeping you safely in balnce.

Photography: We may photograph some of the days action. Keep this in mind when selecting your bodywork wardrobe.

Parking: Parking in the area is free. There are no vignettes or parking meters in the area.

Be sure to get to bed early so that we can start the morning bright and early with a full tank of energy.

Please call if you have any further questions

Cheers
John Sutherland
