Fragile Bodies: Bodywork for Chronic Disorders

Bodywork in its many forms may be part of a holistic approach for those diagnosed with chronic disorders. However, the value of these therapies lies, at least in part, on the way we deliver the therapy rather than any intrinsic properties of that modality. This presentation will explore the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic disorders and will provide you with an overview of strategies aimed at reversing chronic degenerative and inflammatory processes. Based on his own personal experience with a range of bodywork modalities during his own recovery from Parkinson's disease, along with broad clinical experience treating thousands of people diagnosed with chronic neuro, autoimmune, and infectious disorders, and extensive study of cell biology and other disciplines, John Coleman will reveal the best way to deliver bodywork to assist the healing pathway of fragile, frightened, and frustrated people.
