- You will hone skills to observe postural impacts on yourself and others.
- Your learning from this module is foundational for learning Ken Ware NeuroPhysics Therapy methods and helping people to optimize their physical and emotional health and well-being.
Key learning objectives
- Regularly observe traits in your own and others’ posture.
- Analyze posture-related connections with common experiences like lethargy, stress, joy, depression, and others.
- Explain the health connections among postural tone, perceptions, and sensory awareness.
- Explain how the system’s processing of information connects posture with emotion, metabolism, and one’s perception of the environment.
- Explain why Ken Ware NeuroPhysics Therapy uses knowledge of connections among (a) growth and protective states, (b) gating and information flow, and (c) common areas of vigilance during exercises.
- Apply the notion of embodied cognition to explain posture’s role in health and dis-ease.
