What you will learn
- By learning about conditions associated with the ageing process, you will learn why progressive impairment in these mechanisms results in a reduced capacity to adapt to stress and reduced system complexity.
- We will examine the reasons for that kind of progressive loss, including the environmental influences of social contexts, all of which inform how we will work with ageing clients.
- You will learn why changes while ageing vary widely among people.
- This module prepares you to learn how Ken Ware NeuroPhysics Therapy addresses the physiology of stress and ageing by increasing healthy system complexity to change common ageing conditions for the better.
Key learning objectives
- 1. Describe how and why the human system ages, and explain why the rate of ageing is different from one person to another.
- Explain the relationship between people’s rates of ageing and their posture, emotions, and perceptions of environment.
- Digest resources on diseases and disorders related to ageing.
- Apply learnings from this module to your own life experience and observations.
