Movement Shiatsu Courses with Bill Palmer.
(All courses count towards Shiatsu Society Continuous Professional Development (CPD) hours.)
Movement Shiatsu was developed by Bill Palmer as a method for dealing with difficult chronic conditions through Shiatsu.
In a typical session, normal Shiatsu is alternated with exercises and experiments which help the client to feel their own strengths and weaknesses and to sense directly the effect that the Shiatsu is having on them.
This facilitates a more interactive style of work than is normal in Shiatsu and we place much importance on the client learning and providing feedback.
We take care to make sure the client understands the reason for the bodywork by being able to sense the reason for it (for instance, feeling a disconnection in the body) and the effect (by feeling how those parts of the body now feel connected).
This allows the client to carry the work of the Shiatsu session consciously into their lives, experimenting with how to move differently and respond creatively to situations which, beforehand, they reacted to habitually.
This helps the nervous system to re-pattern even very deeply ingrained habits and unlocks the healing of chronic conditions.
