What Workshops Can You Attend for Pain Management?

Salamander Centre for Feldenkrais & Creative Dance in Newport VIC invites you to take part in our workshops that focus on eliminating all kinds of body pain.

Neck Freedom and Unclenching the Jaw

Do you frequently experience jaw and neck pain? If so, this advanced program is made especially for you as it shows you not only how to ease neck and shoulder pain, but also the correlation of your jaw and throat with your neck.

In the workshop, you will be taken through gentle movements that follow the principles of neuroplasticity and play. This will help you understand your body and how frequent clenching of your jaw and throat affects the muscles in your neck, which leads to headaches, stress and teeth grinding.  

Our Neck Freedom workshop can help with the following conditions:

• Headaches and migraines
• Jaw clicking and pain
• Teeth grinding (bruxism) and recurrent lip biting
• Neck pain and tension
• Nervous cough
• Sinus pain and tired eyes
• Shoulder pain

Releasing and Relaxing Your Shoulders

Shoulder tension can lead to difficulty in breathing, neck pain, headaches and immobility. In this workshop, you will learn simple yet extremely effective ways to relax your shoulders.

Sally applies Feldenkrais, awareness, movement lessons and her extensive clinical skills to guide you in various movement sequences. At the end of this workshop, you will have more coordinated shoulder muscles that are more flexible and strong.

This workshop can help with the following conditions:

• Chronic shoulder and neck pain
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Headaches
• Frozen shoulders
• Restricted breathing and tightness in the chest

Pelvic Possibilities

This workshop is designed to strengthen your pelvic floor and educate you about its relationship with your hips, joints, back and muscular system. You will learn how stress and certain moods and body positions affect the health and sensitivity of the pelvic floor.

Sally will guide you through gentle movements and body awareness. This will gradually improve the way you sit, walk, balance your body, laugh and other spontaneous actions of your body.

Our Pelvic Possibilities workshop is ideal for the following conditions:

• Pre- and postnatal
• Menopause
• Pelvic pain
• Incontinence (leakage of urine)
• Recovery from gynecological, spinal or abdominal surgery
