Introduction to Total Body Balancing 8 CE Contact Hours Class description: Introduction to Total Body Balancing: Total Body Balancing (TBB) is a total body evaluation and a 5-phase treatment approach in the supine, prone, side lying, and sitting positions. TBB uses long levers (arms, legs, head/neck or torso) and rhythmic mobilization to release lines of tension in the muscles, fascia, joint capsules and ligaments of the extremities, cervical spine, cranium and the transverse diaphragms to improve circulation, nerve, and energy flow. This helps to normalize sympathetic and parasympathetic neurological activity while the use of long levers maximizes effect with less effort on behalf of the practitioner. This long lever approach of rhythmic mobilization influences all systems of the body including the lymphatic, the visceral and the craniosacral, myofascial musculoskeletal systems and serves as an overall support and integration of specific treatment. In this 8-hour presentation we will teach you the Principles of TBB, a Total Body Screening Examination to help determine when to use TBB. We will focus on Phase 1 of the 5 phase TBB treatment process. By the end of this introductory class you will know what TBB is, when to use it and be able to perform phase I. PLEASE DO NOT WEAR PERFUME, COLOGNE OR ESSENTIAL OILS TO CLASS.
