Dear xxxxxxxxx,

We realize that even if people are really interested in learning more about Somatics (or even if they want to for their professional career), not everyone can take time off in the middle of the week to do so... Therefore, we are pleased to offer this one weekend session of this exciting and informative class — the only weekend schedule this year! And we are extending the great discount on the tuition cost one more day.

The Fundamentals of Clinical Somatic Education is a comprehensive introduction to the essential science, principles, methods, and philosophy of Clinical Somatics. The material in this course is comprised of some of the most valuable and exciting portions of the Clinical Somatic Education Professional training curriculum, presented in a short, manageable time-frame. The principles and practices of Somatics taught in this course will provide immediate and practical benefit to laypeople and professionals alike by providing professionals a solid foundation in somatic theory and practice that will augment their work, while also enhancing one's personal health practices, sports, activities, and wellness.

Whether or not you plan to continue on to full professional Somatic Clinical Educator training or Exercise Teacher training, this seminar provides must-have essentials for healthcare, movement, sports, dance, and education professionals of all kinds and will support work in the fields of psychology, development, stress relief, trauma recovery, wellness, education, and coaching.

Prospective attendees include...
•bodyworkers and movement professionals
•massage therapists
•physical therapists
•fitness & personal trainers
•medical professionals and others who work with patients experiencing injury or chronic pain
•people interested in or considering the Clinical Somatic Education Professional Training Program or the Somatic Exercise Teacher training program
•or anyone interested in Somatic health or using Somatic principles and methods to help others or themselves

We have been teaching this material to our professional training students for decades, and we never cease to be amazed by how much they benefit from just a few hours of information. The material is accessible and useful to wide and diverse audiences and needs: Our curriculum uses best educational practices so that bodyworkers or laypeople who have limited knowledge of medical physiology and neuroscience can learn these critical concepts easily. Massage therapists, body workers, yoga and movement teachers, and others have told us that the information quickly enhances their practices (and their own personal practices). In turn, those with advanced medical knowledge find that this framework is a newer and more efficacious approach for understanding the physiology and remedy for their patients' pain and chronic, intractable functional disorders. No matter how much people have read about Somatics, it takes time in a professional educational environment with the correct material to really clarify this critical knowledgeable to understand and apply it.

Either one or both of these days also serve as the ideal "test-drive" of our Clinical Somatic Educator professional training or Somatic Exercise Teacher training weekend course. If you are considering further course of study in Somatics, this should help you make a final decision. Additionally, the material in this course is a prerequisite for the Somatic Exercise Teacher training and for the Clinician professional training as well), so if you ultimately decide to enroll, you have already completed the majority of your preparatory requirements!

While rich with advanced neuromuscular topics, this course features material that is accessible for all audiences from experienced healthcare professionals to aspiring practitioners withou t a medical background, so you can understand this for yourself and clients. We'll focus on immediately usable information for both healthcare professionals working with patients in pain or injury or chronic illnesses of the musculoskeletal system; movement and training professionals working with athletes, movers, and dancers; or bodyworkers, massage therapists, physical therapists, and assistants working with the vast majority of their patients.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this course:


Fundamentals, Part 1< /h4>

•The neurophyisiology of motor control, learning, stress & trauma responses, chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues.
•The physiological mechanisms and process of Sensory Motor Amnesia — how it occurs in the body, how it directly or indirectly causes and maintains up to 90% of chronic pain & musculoskeletal disfunction, and how it impacts or contributes to other medical conditions.
•How Somatic disfunction such as sensory motor amnesia directly and indirecly causes many of the conditions and problems associated with aging, degenerative diseases, atrophy and decline of movement performance
•Variables and contributing factors to limitations and decline in athletic performance
•The most common stress reflexes in the body and detailed explanations of how each contributes to major musculoskeletal and medical disorders. The response of the body to trauma, emotional states, anxiety, depression fear, danger, abuse, and other and stress
•The "big 3 reflexes" of "green-light", "red-light", and trauma reflex — the most common and damaging responses in the body to daily living and stress. Detailed and practical examination of the associated conditions and damage, and the methods of reversing, repairing and preventing these issues.
•Identifying, understanding, and addressing these reflexes, posture and postural issues, and somatic distortions.





Fundamentals, Part 2


•The science and techniques of Clinical Somatic Education's proprietary treatment methods
•Clinical Somatics applications for aging and other public health crises
•Foundations of Somatic philosophy
•The differences between Clinical Somatic Education and other healthcare and movement education methods.
•The science and practice of pandiculation
•The techniques to comprehensively replace traditional stretching, eliminating injuries and rapidly improving flexibility, functional fitness, and injury prevention and recovery
•Foundational discussions of proprioception, proprioceptive disorders, and how these are addressed with Somatics
•Applications of Somatics to daily use of self, including the most common and most potentially damaging motor routines such as sitting, standing, walking, bearing weight, sleeping, etc.
•An overview of routines and approaches for life-long Somatic health.
