You've done the coursework and put in the reps with real clients, but some of them still aren't getting well consistently. You do proper assessments, your manual therapy skills are solid, and yet clients complain of acute and chronic pain that has no clear cause.
Learn at your own pace, guide your own experiential learning, practice skills in your clinic with real patients, and join the monthly consultation group.
Course objectives
- Determine whether symptoms stem from physical or psychological factors
- Apply your evaluation to identify stress and emotional factors
- Build therapeutic alliance and listening skills
- Actively reduce fear through education and treatment
- Support graded exposure with movement and emotions
- Teach pain reprocessing strategies like somatic tracking
- Support emotional processing using Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)
- Integrate these strategies into your manual therapy and movement practices
What's included
Six monthly hour-long group consultation calls are included in the cost of the course, facilitated by Charlie Merrill.
