Presented by Hayley Snishko, Award winning Therapist, the founder of Body and Touch and Massage4Mental Health, will be sharing her expertise in the field of mental health. Her holistic approach combines the power of touch and massage therapy to enhance mental well-being.
As therapists, we are trained to think about massage in mechanical terms. Releasing tight muscles, breaking adhesions, or lengthening tissue.
But research in pain science and manual therapy is suggesting that many effects of touch may be triggered through the nervous system rather than purely through mechanical changes in tissue.
Muscle tension, pain sensitivity, and relaxation are all heavily influenced by the nervous system and how it interprets sensory input from the body.
In this webinar, we will explore how massage therapy interacts with the nervous system, and how understanding this can change the way we approach our treatments.
We’ll look at current research on the nervous system and manual therapy and discuss practical ways we can structure treatments to support nervous system regulation and client relaxation.
