Hands on Modules

IN PERSON ONLY!

MODULE 4: Seated Therapy
In-person, hands-on study, 3-day immersive

This form of seated therapy (pángtugawán nga ablón) places emphasis on the upper body. It can be used to help heal injuries, chronic pain, and certain physiological imbalances, while addressing various muscle tensions and reduced range of motion in the shoulders, arms, hands, and neck. This is ideal for those confined to a wheelchair, or for those who work in front of a computer or engage in any strenuous activity. 

MODULE 6: Table Therapy
hands-on, in-person immersive study

Important principles that were introduced in Ablon seated therapy and the other modules will be applied during this module. As the main feature of this program, Ablon table therapy is more extensive in that the entire body, front and back, will be addressed. This includes preliminary therapeutic movements performed before the application of oil that will be used as a medium to apply the various maneuvers learned. 

Topics covered will include: anatomical breakdown, sensitivity and resistance; body mechanics, limb positioning, joint mobilization and range of motion; systematic application and direction of Ablon maneuvers; degree of applied pressure; the application of oil; proper draping, and time flow.

MODULE 8: Adjunct Therapy
HANDS-ON, IN-PERSON IMMERSIVE STUDY

Adjunct therapies are complementary and used in order to increase the efficacy of the primary ones. Depending on the health concerns of the client, some of these could be more appropriately used than others. Included in this module is: karus (skin scraping), baddekan (body stepping), kulkulis (foot scraping), batbaten (pounding), and bato iti panaganges (stone breathing).
