Description

Bodily Relearning is an all-new course offered by Noigroup based on and supported by the upcoming book (by the same name) by author, educator, and physical therapist Benjamin Boyd.

In this interactive course, we will explore how to help those in pain gain insight, knowledge, and understanding about how bodily protection systems operate and how to regain some control over these protection responses, including pain.  We will investigate the use of movement exploration and reflection to help reset bodily protection responses.

Additionally, we will explore other concurrent strategies, such as targeted neurodynamic exercises and mindfulness practices, to help reset the bodily protection levels and increase engagement in meaningful life activities.  With the skills emphasized in this course, we aim to drive bodily relearning by facilitating bioplastic adaptations to reset bodily protection responses towards less protection, less pain, and more freedom of movement.

 

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites to attending this course, although a basic level of peripheral nerve anatomy and physiology is assumed.

Required materials/resources:

The book Bodily Relearning: Reteaching bodily protection responses through insight and movement exploration, 2023, is included in the course fee.

Target audience:

This course is open to health professionals and movement-based practitioners working within the medical and healthcare communities to help people suffering from pain.

Objectives

This course will include discussion-based activities, didactic lectures, movement exploration, exercise and neurodynamic labs, mindfulness practice, and clinical case discussions.  This course is offered live, in-person, and over two days.
