"Listening" Techniques For Better Assessment & Outcome August 24th 2024; 8 CEUs
9:30 am to 6:00 pm
Dancing For Healing & Bodywork introduces a series of techniques and insights that reflect cutting edge research, ancient practices, and current clinical experience on how to use one's presence to augment the healing process.
This course is a part of 3 major concepts:
Integrative bodywork - integrate all your Assessment and Manual Therapy skills in a cohesive approach to meet the unique needs of each patient/client at any present moment
Creative and fun self-care for the bodyworkers
Learn how incorporating movement into your massage therapy sessions can benefit both you and your clients - use dance movements as a vehicle for maintaining the therapeutic effect achieved during the bodywork session.
Attire/Supplies:
Wear loose, comfortable clothes
Dance shoes
A flat sheet that you will be willing to sacrifice for becoming a canvas for artwork
Your Body & Soul
Class Highlights
Recognize and master different levels of body and mind self- awareness
Identify different body rhythms of expansion and contraction through palpation - cardiovascular, respiratory, cranio-sacral, lymphatic
Discriminate between palpatory qualities of different tissues - muscles, nerves, fascia, organs( hollow and parenchymal), vessels and Primo-vessels
Assess the feedback from them at normal versus dysfunctional state
Learn to "listen" and trust what you hear using your whole body
Understand how to incorporate "listening skills" in the clients' evaluation and treatment plan
Choose the appropriate technique and dose your touch, discover presence and intention for "listening" and treating
Practice safe entrainment with your patients
Master movements which will make you more aware of your own and others' well-being
Adapt a pace which will improve your communication with the tissues and your confidence
The last hour of the class "Dance Life Maps" in an atmosphere of peer support and interaction, is as personally healing as it is educational

What is Trauma Informed Bodywork and how does it Help You
It is a truly integrative bodywork approach marrying the Mind-Body piece and overcoming the current scientific model of the human being as fragments: body, soul, mind, spirit.
It’s based on the Polyvagal Theory ( St. Porges 1995)(1)and Taylor's psychophysiological framework of mind-body interactions ( 2018)(2).
There is no better time to experience it than now-pandemic, protests, shootings... All this awakens individual and collective trauma layers in the form of fear, panic, detachment, numbness and isolation. The result: inhibited immune response.
What is trauma?
Why is the world talking about it (finally!) ?
This is the definition from the Medical Dictionary:
“Trauma - τραύμα(Gr)- wound, hurt (Traumata ,pl)
1.
a. Serious injury to the body, as from physical violence or an accident: abdominal trauma.
b. Severe emotional or mental distress caused by an experience: He experienced trauma for years after his divorce.
2.
a. An experience that causes severe anxiety or emotional distress, such as rape or combat: memories that persist after a trauma occurs.
b. An event or situation that causes great disruption or suffering: the economic trauma of the recession.
And check this definition from Integrated Listening Systems  :
“Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences.”
Do you believe there is one definition of it, and what’s your favorite one?
But more importantly, how do you experience it? Is there a difference in experiencing physical and nonphysical trauma?
Pain, shortness of breath (or “I can’t breath”), sleeplessness, anxiety, shakiness, feel teetered, panicky? Or nausea, dizziness, changes in appetite, headaches, gastrointestinal problems? 
Please, feel free to finish the list with your own responses. 
Do you notice that the only interface we have for experiencing it is The Body?
There is no shame in feeling these reactions, they are not a failure to handle life.
They are the body’s innate ability to handle the threat(s). 
And if we understand that these are normal responses to threat, instead of suppressing them, we may be able to process and transform them. The “suppression” inevitably happens by storing them somewhere in the body.
Inevitably because the body remembers everything - your Body is like your self written diary. As it is described in this excellent very popular and accessible book by Dr. Bessel VanderKolk. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.: 9780143127741 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
This is only one example of the avalanche of writings and research by psychologists who realized that involving the Body enhances the therapeutic outcome. Recently, professionals form the field of bodywork are sharing their expertise on the topic, and this is the aim this article.
We are pretty much “educated” on the detrimental effect of the current global trauma on health by the daily grind of the media. Even beyond that - it’s reinforced to the point of feeling your depleted Body is about to crash.
How can Trauma Informed Bodywork help you prevent this? 
The short answer is: by reinforcing the strong communication between different parts of the body and particularly broadening the connection between brain and peripheral tissues, including critical organs. This communication transmits information bidirectionally between CNS and the periphery, and it’s conveyed by the Autonomic Nervous System(ANS). Your ANS plays vital role in shaping your response to any threat.
And that is how it may happen, in more details:
By gradually building a bridge between places in the Body that hold incapsulated Trauma State(s) and places that hold a State(s) of Resource - feeling safe and calm.
These are bridges between parts of traumatic storages (places of tightness or weakness) and places of comfort and ease.
I hope you hear this - bridge, connection, communication. When we lose connection with the body, we may do things that unintentionally hurt it and which start a trauma cycle. This cycle doesn’t affect only your inner world, it gradually spreads to the external world - the others, the ecological system{s) etc.
A typical session focuses on somatic (body) awareness in the form of interoception ( sensations arising from inside the body), proprioception (our 5 senses) and mindfulness techniques (meditation, yoga, imagery). Specific palpation techniques enable you to understand the relationship between impaired function, body sensations and internal and external factors.
No two sessions are the same but each goes through 4 phases- establishing of therapeutic relationship, stabilization, confrontation with bifocal integration and integration into everyday life. Each phase is dependent on careful monitoring of the autonomic response of the body - subtle changes in your heart rhythm, breathing patterns, skin temperature color and reactivity, eye movements, changes in the tone of your facial musculature that conveys different expressions, your voice, your movement patterns etc.
Palpation of heart field and harmonization among heart, abdomen and head provokes the state of so called “ventral Vagal tone “. This state of the autonomic nervous system is associated with pleasant and calm sensations, with feelings of ease that promote cognition, optimal performance, desire for communication, and also proper immune response. It may sound similar to relaxation but in reality it is quite different - instead of falling asleep, you may find yourself starting to plan a next event or experience a sense of warmth and caring about someone, or you start thinking about an abandoned project because you feel you are fully capable of accomplishing it. This state is known as Physiological Coherence between several of your physiological systems and organs- heart and brain.(5). This is an example how visceral manipulations can be used for facilitating this coherence.
Breathing exercises are a milestone, almost always, and along with the above approaches are are examples of “bottom-up” autonomic regulation.
In other occasions, you may be lead through Bifocal Integration - an osteopathic approach to synchronizing perceptions of body sensations and feelings. This is known as “top-down” approach for enhancing autonomic regulation.(3,4)
Guided meditations are also an example of top-down regulation and are a part of each session. As also are neurogenic hesitation and neurobic exercises.
I wish I could say these are techniques only ... but i can’t ...It’s a constant exchange of information  between the clinician and the tissues through infinite interoceptive, proprioceptive, vestibular and peri- personal perceptual inputs. 
The goal is to invite and accept the messages from your body (because “it’s not only in your head”) and built on them adaptability and resilience to stressors. Because they are HERE, in the daily life.
Research shows that during a life span pretty much everyone is bound to experience traumatic event. And on top, research reveals that the norm is multiple traumatic exposures. 
If you still experience your unexplained symptoms  and all your medical tests came negative (which is a great news! Congratulations!!) or you’ve been told “it’s in your head”, you are exactly in need to look closer into the way you think of your body: 
Do you think it’s a container? 
Do you think it’s totally separate from your thoughts, emotions, spirit? 
Or you haven’t even given it a single thought ... 
This is an article debriefing the struggle medical doctors go through to overcome the bias of “It’s All in Your Head” —Medicine’s Silent Epidemic
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2751253
Trauma Informed Bodywork could be an excellent supplement to your work with a psychologist by releasing trauma through the body.
Trauma- personal or collective, tribal, ancestral, trans generational, physical, non- physical, non- intentional ... you name it ... no matter which one, no matter the differences, there is only One Body for all of them. Reading about it, talking about it (no matter how incessantly!) is proven not sufficient.
Proven not only by research but also, by the evolutionary impulse.
Invite your body to a date and see how deepening your relationship with it may help you to meet the uncertainty of our time  with presence:

The Body, The Covid-19 Pandemic And The Massage Therapist
Do not take my words. I’m not a covid19 expert. Do not take anyone’s words.
No one knows how many people will get it, how many will die, how many will survive. If someone tells you he knows, check again his agenda. CDC and WHO say they can not predict numbers, yet, but they know it will get more serious.
Read these research articles.
Be responsible, It’s so important, now. 
Read the articles to the bottom and check the links at the end to many others that will give you insight. 
Do not take my words. 
Just read and notice the transmissibility through blood:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887796320300146
Think of how long you spend with your hands ( with imperceptible minor cuts) on the patient’s body ( with imperceptible minor cuts).
RESCHEDULE your patients talking to them openly and proactively - instead of thinking of loosing the money, think of gaining their trust in your knowledge and expertise, think of educating them and also, think of saving the community.
 If you decide that your massage is life-saving for someone, wear gloves .
Don’t take my words, rather read research on HOW TO CLEAN :
Persistence of coronaviruses on different types of inanimate surfaces is surprisingly looong !
Check all tables - they will tell you facts on how commonly used hospital-level disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite) are effective and sufficient procedures.” [12] The typical use of bleach is at a dilution of 1:100 of 5% sodium hypochlorite resulting in a final concentration of 0.05% [13]. Our summarized data with coronaviruses suggest that a concentration of 0.1% is effective in 1 min (Table III). That is why it seems appropriate to recommend a dilution 1:50 of standard bleach in the coronavirus setting. For the disinfection of small surfaces ethanol (62e71%; carrier tests) revealed a similar efficacy against coronavirus. A concentration of 70% ethanol is also recommended by the WHO for disinfecting small surfaces [13].
https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(20)30046-3/pdf
How to enhance your immunity - ahhh, who hasn’t tried to teach you ...
Simply do not forget:
Exercise and immunity:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095254620300144
Meditation and immunity:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29518528
MCP and activation of T-helper, T-cytotoxic cell, B-cell an NK cells:
Activation of human T-helper/inducer cell, T-cytotoxic cell, B-cell, and natural killer (NK)-cells and induction of natural killer cell activity ag... - PubMed - NCBI
And the most stunning research fact revealing correlation between neuroinvasivity of the SARS-CoV2 and the respiratory failure of Covid-19 patients, wow, particularly notice the involvement of midbrain:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32104915/
Don’t take my words, please!
Read. Ask. Share.  Discuss.
Donate to scientific research, not to election campaigns...
Here is CDC page:

A way to restore the memory of working in tensegrity for structures in transitional key zones - here: abs, erectors, hip flexors etc. It takes what it takes - props, Yoga, PNMR, PIR, cues, charm ... anything . The result is harmony, prevention of injury, and it’s worth it all.

Copy of Upside-Down massage
Pulling , pushing, hanging completely upside-down (or Batman style), stretching , massaging, relaxing and maybe flying ...
Mastering body awareness and partnership have never been more fun!
Using Suspension, Traction or Inversion of different parts of the body can transform a massage therapy session into complete bodywork bliss. The Yoga Wall props are used for their versatility AND as a lean-on or push-against silent partner for manipulating the body while it lengthens, stretches and opens. This enables the therapist first to ACCESS otherwise inaccessible body parts and second, to sustain his/her strokes or pulls for a longer time, increasing the flow of energy through the body, and facilitating a far more intense release that can't be achieved without the props' leverage.
Strategic anchoring of tissue with the practitioner’s foot, arm or other body parts while the client executes specific motions, delivers more extensive and longer lasting results. Bodywork and movement are inevitably intertwined. All Bodywork actions are delivered through movement forces and effects.The client is fully in charge of the session, and results are generally instantaneous and profound.
 Experienced bodyworkers discovered that using "a second anchor " or an additional leverage for the patient 's body allows them tremendous access to body parts that are not accessible at all when the patient is flat on the table/floor or in other positions. Examples are suspensory apparata of internal organs, deeply situated ligaments connecting large bones of the pelvis( sacrotuberous lig.), and joints deeply covered with soft tissue  ( acromio -clavicular joint, for example).
 The added lower muscle tone due to anti-gravity suspension allows working on already elongated and more relaxed muscle fibers. For example, positioning the long muscles of the back(erector spinae muscles ) upside-down allows more precise cross-fiber massage strokes.
Precision is, actually, the ultimate goal in therapeutic Bodywork.
Indications could be endless. Contraindications would be more interesting but, practically, the only limits would be the knowledge and creativity of the practitioner and the responsibility the client takes for his/her own health.
For athletes, an Upside-down-massage may be as good as a double-deep tissue massage, allowing for muscular and connective tissue release. For office workers, massage facilitated with the props will help in mobilizing and manipulatingareas such as shoulders, spine and joints.
Meanwhile, patients with injuries, such as neck and back problems, may find that massaging their inverted or suspended necks or backs provides quicker relief for their condition and liberates them from the limitations of "not deep-enough" or " not-precise-enough" attitudes toward the therapist's work.
And for those who have had surgeries for removal of pathological tissues (hysterectomy, gall bladder removal, bladder resections, stomach resections etc.) and have not undergone comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation, anti-gravity massage is of great benefit as well. Using levers and angles to position the body toward gravity facilitates proper Visceral manipulations that help restore tissues’ normal function and prevent the sliding of organs and formation of post-surgical adhesions. 
 But “Upside-down Massage” isn’t just for people with injuries or athletes– it’s a fun and rich bodywork that results in faster benefits for anyone who seeks the therapeutic power of deep yet precise, gentle yet firm, restorative yet very, very stimulating Bodywork.
 The Added benefit ( perhaps, the most important)- a new Body Awareness happens while the clients perceive stimulation from inside and outside. Having a body part suspended against gravity is perceived internally (stimulating interoception) having it manipulated through massage techniques is experienced externally (proprioception).
Both alter awareness.
At every level there is guidance.
Invite it, experience it, embrace it.
