Introduction to Kinesiology (1day)

"Kinesiology.... Where does it come from - what does it mean?

Muscle Testing - what is it? Food sensitivity testing for myself and my family?

Bachflowers and Fine Energy Remedies - what are they - how and why do they work?

Stress Release made easy? "

These questions and many more are answered in this mini-workshop!
You can learn to understand how our Life Energy travels through the body and how it can be monitored by testing our body's muscular system. You will learn more about “Meridians”, Acupuncture points, Chinese Medicine Principles...and much more!

Kinesiology has developed into a very successful and respected aspect of the health and healing field. The use of muscle testing to identify the stresses and imbalances beneath many of our health and performance problems has proven to be a remarkable tool!
Touch for Health is the popular and traditional beginning point for people wishing to learn these techniques which are simple, safe, effective and so fascinating.

This day can be accredited to TFH 1!

Time: 10 am - 4 pm

Cost: $120/person. Prices include handouts and a certificate.

Discover a permanent tool for reaching personal goals.

A course for students, teachers, parents, artists, athletes, health care practitioners and business professionals. Open to all!

We begin by exploring ways to integrate left and right brain hemispheres, leading to greater ease in activities that involve crossing the axis such as reading, writing, listening, movement and daily life skills. In addition to the laterality dimension of the brain, two further dimensions are explored: centering and focussing.

The three dimensional brain integration:

laterality - cerebral cortex; centering – mid brain and limbic (emotional) systems; focus - cerebellum, pons and brain stem.

This knowledge contributes to an experience of 'whole-brain' integration as it applies to communication, organisation, focus and comprehension skills.

Brain Gym Activities and Gymnastic Ball Exercises combined (2 days)

This new workshop was created with the intention to be taught to all Kinesiologists, Brain Gym Teachers,

Physiotherapists and OccupationalTherapists and last but not least Phys Ed. teachers!

There is a certain expectation on the participant’s fitness level.

Participants should understand basics in Brain Gym® or other Kinesiology Learning enhancement techniques

and be interested in physical fitness and movement development.

This is a Two day course (9 am - 4pm) which will include the identification of non integrated early childhood

and postural reflexes and their integration by using the gymball activities.

All 3 'dimensions of learning' (centering, focus, laterality) will be adressed and integrated with adequate

activities on the gym ball.

The activities are fun filled dynamic movements, which greatly support Brain Gym, the Extra Lesson and

other neuro-physiological treatment techniques.

Participants will receive a Gym Ball, a manual and various handouts as extras (please state your height,

when registering!).

Day One is also open for everybody who has no prior Brain Gym knowledge.

Day Two, advanced level: learn more activities, and how to use the Brain Gym balance format, including

the early childhood reflexes andtheir integration into the Gym Ball work.

Cost: $400 (Early Bird Registrations: $ 350 - if your payment is received 3 weeks before the beginning of the

course.) Using the wonderful tools from the Brain Gym® tool kit and combining them with fun filled dynamic

movements on the gymnastic ball gives trainers, therapists and teachers a greater variety and more options

when working with children and adults in the field of learning enhancement or as a physiotherapist in

rehabilitation of injuries.

Also, when working as a personal trainer with clients on sport performance, co- ordination and strength.

Everybody can benefit of these activities!
