Emotion to Motion:
Firing and Wiring Productive Relationships
Between Senses, Motor Skills and Function
Firing and Wiring Productive Relationships
Between Senses, Motor Skills and Function
Description
The course focuses on developmental foundational systems of basic movement patterns that will provide therapists with a toolbox of techniques for treatment. These tools include tissue release techniques; Oral Core program; Rhythmic Release and Restoration (RRR); and the Step Forward Program. This course emerged from an effort to remove barriers caused by our autonomic nervous system’s perception of safe versus unsafe state of arousal and that impact on movement, thought, and coordination..
It uses recent research findings with a new twist to establish motor efficiency in all planes of movement. This program presents evaluation of movement components and their ties to the autonomic nervous system and primitive reflex system through lecture, video examples, and lab experiences.
Objectives
Following the course, participants will be able to:

Objectives
Following the course, participants will be able to:
- Present a background of the autonomic nervous system’s effect on the muscular skeletal system and sensory systems in reference to recruited patterns.
- Use clinical reasoning skills for evaluation of patterns of movement and progression of more mature patterns with reference to reflex development and emotion.
- Demonstrate efficiency in techniques for integrating suck/swallow/breathe with rhythm and movement patterns. (Oral Core)
- Show efficiency in Rhythmic Release and Restoration (RRR) techniques for release of stress, and improved use of whole body.
- Demonstrate efficiency in the Step Forward Program techniques for coordination of three planes of movement with senses and motor control.
- Establish new treatment protocols for children by using movement to effect change with arousal issues, de- velopmental problems, learning difficulties, sensory, reflex immaturity, and motor control issues.
- Design diagnosis specific movement programs to support the child’s development in clinic sessions, home and school.
