Clinical Somatics for the Cervical Spine

Gayatri Schriefer & Brian Siddhartha Ingle 4-22-2022

This workshop will focus on passive clinical Somatics for the neck and cervical spine. The main teaching and strategy will be passive techniques—means-whereby and kinetic mirroring, or to use a term by Yochanan Rywerant, effort substitution. We will be working with the neck as part of the whole with an emphasis on how to address the nervous system through the skeleton. 

The workshop will include assessment of the cervical spine from a somatic perspective, differentiation of neck and shoulders, integration of the head and neck into the trunk and more. If you have a table and client to work with handy, that’s great, but it’s not required.
