Mon 30th January 2012 - Body Alignment Workshop

We had a very enjoyable couple of hours getting to know Kevin Cullen, who was conducting the workshop, and we got to understand how he uses manipulation of the body to help his clients with pain issues. He talked about how, when bones are out of alignment, that over the years  it can create serious problems.

He introduced us to the "crude" piece of equipment that he uses to assess a client to see how symetrical they are. Using this he can see areas of the body that are out of alignment, and then he would know what treatment to do in order to help realign the body again.

We each took it in turns to stand behind the equipment, whilst the other members in the group got a chance to see how looking at the body this way, you could see where, and if, the body was out of alignment, and the differences in the two sides of the body there might be. Sometimes the differences were ever so subtle, but using this method it was easy to see.

We were all then shown another method of assessment by lying down on a couch, and noticing if key positions along the body were the same distance apart.

It was a very interesting evening, and to those members who particularly work with the body in their treatments, it was certainly most beneficial. We came away that night all having learnt something. Our thanks go to Kevin.

 

Next meeting Monday 27th February......
