Therapeutic Movement Seminars Online Courses

T’ai Chi (TC) and Qi Gong (QG) are sophisticated movement systems that have great rehab potential. Rather than trying to learn complex movements all at once, we'll break down and simplify the process similar to how you’d teach it in the clinic. You’ll benefit both personally and professionally by actively participating in the movement sequences along with learning to observe and analyze each section to understand their clinical relevance.

The video-recorded labs begin with basic stances and weight shifting movements, progresses to the upper extremity section and finishes with a variety of stepping/balancing movements. Everything then comes back together in the final two labs with a series of TC and QG derived drills. Possible course applications include:  

• Spinal—pelvic control, thoracic mobilization,  lumbar & cervical stabilization
• Upper Extremity—fractures, glenohumeral conditions, thoracic outlet & scapular dyskinesis
• Lower Extremity—fractures, knee/ankle stabilization, amputees, hip/knee replacements
• Neuro—stroke & parkinsons 
• Seniors—balance, gait, conditioning & fall prevention
• Sitting & Standing Options—for all drills

The 4 hours of reading material is interspersed between the 6 hours of movement labs—both to facilitate a deeper understanding of what you are doing and to give you a physical break from moving. Topics here include:

• TC & QG—brief history, descriptions & contrasts 
• Principles of Optimal Movement
• Styles of Integrated Movement
• Principles of Informational Exercise
• Language of Integrated Movement & Pattern Specificity

Now is the time to take a course you’ll enjoy! Get up out of your chair, actively participate in the movement and feel confident using it in your practice.
