SENSATIONAL JOINTS

Sensational Joints introduces the what, why and how of adding a focus on lower extremity joints in somatic work. Through slides, movement explorations, tablework demos and practice you’ll learn about

• • • articular proprioceptors and how to activate them
    • open- and closed-pack position of joints
    • the difference between osteokinematic and arthrokinematic movement
    • characteristics of arthrokinematic movement
    • specific compressions and glides for lower extremity syovial joints
    • the effects of focusing on joints in somatics.

Discover how knowing more about the body’s articulations helps you articulate your work.

Instructor: Eileen Dickinson:

Eileen has been practicing physical therapy and the Trager Approach for several decades. Growing from her roots in Physical Therapy, she has been studying scientific information that is applicable to Movement and Manual Therapy, notably Trager, for many years. Biotensegrity, a rich and emerging field of science, is her most recent study. She loves sharing her current understanding of the anatomical and physiological correlates of Manual, Movement, and especially Trager principles, processes, and outcomes.
