Charlie Murdach 5-30-2009

The eyes may be the most important and least understood of our sensory organs. The only part of the nervous system we see from the outside, a primary function of our eyes is organizing our body for motion. This seminar will examinine the biomechanical and physiological relationships of the eyes, head and neck as they relate to the dynamic nervous system. You’ll gain an understanding of the movement patterns involved in the visual system and cervical spine, and the dynamics that tie the neck and eyes together. You’ll learn practical tools for working with stroke, chronic pain, vestibular and balance issues, headaches, whiplash, eye strain and more. Come prepared for an amazing day of lecture, verbal and non-verbal movement sequences, and hands on applications of Hanna Somatic Education®, The Anat Baniel Method(sm) and The Feldenkrais Method®.
