Freeing the Neck and Shoulders
TOUCH TO INFORM Seminars focus on the neurological, mechanical and healing aspects of movement with the science of Brain Mapping and sensory learning, along with other applicable concepts from The Feldenkrais Method® that can enhance functional outcomes for clients.
Freeing your Neck and Shoulders demonstrates how your head follows your eyes. The spine of your skeleton supports your head. Your shoulders are connected to your spine, neck, and head movements.
Using neurological concepts from The Feldenkrais® Method, participants will develop skills that indirectly quiet excessive tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders by learning TOUCH TO OBSERVE, SUPPORT and INFORM around the torso so that the head is freer to move – and the shoulders feel more supple.
