The Sensory Repatterning course of study will prepare massage therapists to practice in a clinical setting with techniques specific for treatment of psychological and physical problems. It includes classes focusing on physiological problems and Western methods of treatment. The approach is appropriate for working closely with the Western medical model and will provide the therapist with a clear understanding of medical terminology and the ability to interact with professionals in that environment. This path also provides preparation for the therapist interested in techniques desired for working in Health Clinics, Spas,Recovery Program, Senior Care Nursing Facilities and Private Practice.
As one of the Somatic Methods, Sensory Repatterning uses the techniques of Undulations and Slow Motion to facilitate change in the client’s body. The practitioner communicates to the nervous system a quality of feeling that elicits response in the tissue. Vision, Intention, sensitivity and rhythm are the cornerstones of this work. Classes will include meditation, breath work and sounding, movement, technique refinement, self-cultivation, dreamwork, journaling, the development of listening skills, group discussion of client situations and creative work around the concept of healing.
