Course Description
This Workshop is designed to give Health Professionals and Bodyworkers an additional tool to help them work with clients who may experience reoccurring injuries or pains in parts of their body. This will be of interest to a wide variety of bodyworkers, sports therapists and Health Professionals. We will discuss the importance of the Vagus nerve, and how a series of compensatory patterns develops in the body that can prevent the natural self-healing process and lock the body in “fight or flight” if the skull does not align correctly on top of the neck, or if there are restrictions to the skull sutures or distortions of the membranes underneath. We will also talk about how important our Central Nervous System (CNS) is to our physical and emotional state of Well Being.

Assessment Process
Partial Assessment is undertaken by me as I watch you work, ask questions, and gauge your feedback. On successful completion of the workshop, you are required to complete a minimum of 10 case studies, and provide me an essay style feedback report on how the sessions went. The kind of content I am looking for will be explained to you.
You will also be required to attend a review day/days to make sure that a successful transfer of knowledge has been undertaken. When I can happily tick all the boxes, you will receive your full accreditation and be qualified to practice the New Vision Therapy Lower Body Protocol. This also allows you to move on to Workshop 5 if you are seeking full qualification status to be recognised as a New Vision Therapist.
