Gymnastics Rehab and Performance Course

$595.00

In the course, we explore how to help those in pain reset their bodily protection responses, including pain, through sense-making, movement exploration, load management, mindfulness, and strategies to calm a highly sensitized system.  Additionally, the course is supported by the book, Bodily Relearning (International) / Bodily Relearning (USA), (Boyd 2023, Noigroup Publications).

Since its debut in 2023, the Bodily Relearning course has been presented in over a dozen cities across five countries, reaching nearly 500 attendees.
