Unwinding - Working with Emotion. 1/2 October.

Unwinding (Myofascial Unwinding) is a common generic term used to describe a response your client may experience as a result of the slow sustained touch by a myofascial release therapist.

This response, thought to be a modulation of the autonomic nervous system, can result in tears, anger, fear, joy or laughter.

Some clients will experience a deep sense of relaxation and stillness, others will move spontaneously on the treatment couch as their body begins to move through functional and meaningful movement. These movements often extend range restoring pain-free active movement, previously believed as unsafe or too painful as a result of a historic event.

This re-learned functional movement allows the client to re-evaluate belief patterns and learned behaviours helping them to move forward in their wellness journey.

This workshops offers therapists a unique opportunity to explore unwinding, working with one therapist and also as part of a group.

You will be shown a variety of myofascial applications combined with constructive therapeutic dialoging that will help you to facilitate and care for any client who experiences an emotional response during treatment.

Allowing the client to lead the session is paramount and therapists are taught how to stay within their scope of practice whilst offering a nurturing, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic environment.

This 2-day workshop includes :

  • How to facilitate unwinding with the client seated, lying on the treatment couch and in standing
  • How and when to use therapeutic dialoguing to promote a safe and nurturing environment
  • How to identify potential learned behaviours and patterns which may be hindering treatment results
  • How to reinforce safe meaningful movement
  • How to build a therapeutic alliance with the client which in turn will increase self-efficacy.
  • The science, theory and research of trauma, memory and unwinding as a response to therapy.
