The Effectiveness of Communicating with Bone!

Suresha Hill 4-21-2017

Bones are profoundly sensitive and intelligent and play a vital role in the maintenance of health and balance in the system. Suresha will demonstrate how palpating, monitoring, consciously connecting, decompressing, and mobilizing bones can assist in the overall enhanced fl ow of information and integration of the soma.

We will experience several self-sensing exercises that attune and awaken relationships within the skeleton, at junction or articular intersections, as well as at the interface between the skeleton and soft tissue fields. We’ll then translate the clarification of those relationships into movement sequences that can be used for yourself or for your clients, and into hands-on techniques for table work. Load-bearing areas like the sacrum, spine, and feet will be covered, as well as referral structures like the epicondyles, ASIS, the trochanters, ribs and cranial base.

Suresha Hill, CHSE, Ed.S. (Educational Specialist), D.O.M.T.P. (Diplomate in Osteopathic Manipulative Theory and Practice) began her career in holistic health and education in the 1970s when a graduate advisor presented his unique theories in Systems Intervention and Prevention, her specialty curriculum in the fi eld school psychology at Kent State University. Keeping the perspective of how to gently intervene into the body in a holistic way to help rebalance the system, she began numerous courses of study for the body, its nervous system, its energetic structures, breath therapy, then eventually Hanna Somatics and other osteopathic approaches that went in depth with the body’s fluid, visceral, and bony layers.
