Ecology in Motion™ · Live training
Four days to develop your hands, your observation and your ability to choose a treatment. Learn to work with the back, front and sides of the body through the Ecology in Motion™ approach.
The EIM™ approach
A painful area is a starting point for observation. You will explore its relationships with surrounding and more distant tissues, use touch and movement to guide your choices, and reassess as you work.
Open to complete beginners and experienced practitioners, including acupuncturists, massage therapists, bodyworkers, physiotherapists, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
No previous Gua sha training is required. The four days build from essential skills into integrated treatment, with approximately 75% of the training devoted to hands-on learning.
Your four-day program
Explore EIM™ principles, circulation, tissue response and clean practice. Develop tool handling and begin working with the posterior body.
Explore relationships across the body through observation, touch and movement. Practice posterior and lateral approaches, choosing where to work and reassessing the response.
Extend your practical work to the anterior and lateral body. Adapt your positioning, pressure and technique to different regions and presentations.
Bring the regions together through supervised practice. Refine treatment selection, dosage and reassessment, with individual feedback on your work.
