Essential Mouthwork Class
The Class that started it all!
In July of 1999 I taught the very first Mouthwork class. Over the years it grew from 2 to 3 to now 3.5 days, to hold the important stories, science and experiences. You can’t rush mouthwork! As we grow in our Profound Neutral presence and touch, we can approach these sensitive structures with respect and gentle attention. As therapists, there is fascinating information waiting for us. As recipients, we discover a profound process of reclamation and reorganizing.
We will have a greater immersion into the external work that changes the internal function of the mouth and more comprehensive consideration of developmental and neurosensory issues relating to this area.
If you are holding the neck or the cranium in your sessions, you will find this additional information an invaluable asset to your practice!
Join us for 3.5 life-changing days, as we journey through the sacred spaces of Essential Mouthwork.
Neurovascular Integration: Essential Mouthwork
From the earliest days of embryology, our mouth tissue guides the formation of the rest of the body.
At birth, we experience our world and integrate critical developmental skills through our mouth.
Our sensory, motor and visceral systems all organize themselves from this experience.
Whether we need to move beyond early difficulties or later traumas, Essential Mouthwork allows us to reclaim flow and ease through our bodies and our lives.
Join us in “Essential Mouthwork” class as we explore gentle release techniques for the whole body that lead to restoration of smooth function through the mouth and throat.
This class offers important information about the structures and functions of the throat, mouth and cranium, including effective treatment strategies that are immediately clinically applicable for the intermediate to advanced therapist.
Explore the neuroscience of our Profound Neutral touch, providing alternate sensory input to facilitate optimal neural output to fascial and osseous restrictions throughout the body.
Identify oral issues that contribute to somatic dysfunctions, including torticollis and plagiocephaly.
Acquire important treatment strategies for oral, cervical and cranial dysfunctions for patients of all ages, including the 0-3 population.
Experience both intraoral lab work and adaptive approaches for external work.
Suggested Audience: PTs, OTs, MTs, SLPs
Learning outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this class students will be able to:
- Define the 3-step sequence of how our Profound Neutral touch facilitates neurosensory regulation
- Identify A/P of hard palate bones and their roles in mouth, throat and neck mobility and function.
- Identify three key components of tongue/mandible/TMJ dysfunction that impact neuromusculoskeletal function throughout the body.
- List three common oralmotor issues in babies and children and appropriate treatment strategies.
- Identify three important elements of pediatric treatment and parental interaction
- Indentify three common dysfunctions of soft palate/pharyngeal structures, and their clinical implications.
Instructor assessment of lab activities determines satisfactory completion of requirements for CEHs/CEUs.
