How can Bridging help my clients/patients?
Looking for new options to help your patients or clients with pain, balance, calm, and even with learning motor skills? Bridging is a new option for you to consider.
Why should you consider adding Bridging to your practice?
The three aspects of the Bridging process which set it apart from traditional medical perspectives on pain, movement ability, and self-regulation are:
Assessing...
...micromovent flows and transitions in the body. When these foundational basics of movement are stuck or asymmetrical there is often pain, poor movement control and sensory feedback imbalance.
Analyzing...
...why the movements may be suboptimal. A lifelong view of injuries, illness, medical intervention, and birth/early life are all factors which are taken into account.
Resetting...
...muscle memory to quickly and gently restore movement ease, and the postural transitions needed for easy and balanced movement.
There are two ways to add Bridging to your patient/client work:
Learn to do the Bridging Technique yourself
Refer your patients and we can work in tandem to bring faster/greater results.

How do you learn to do Bridging?
In-person and online educational options allow you to learn at your own pace, have a support
community, and review material when you need a refresher.

Bridging education incorporates adult learning best practices in the following ways:
- Mini-lessons online: Background and theoretical information is presented as mini-lessons online using the online portal, Teachable. Each lesson is approximately 5 minutes long. This makes learning highly effective, yet adaptable to your schedule. You can also review lessons and concepts at any point in time.
- Observe, do, coach, and experience are the four learning modes for Bridging workshops. Whatever your learning style, there is a segment for you!
- Workshops: These
are a mixed format of virtual and in-person options, and recordings are posted from each segment. You watch a guest demonstration, then do your case studies via in-person or via video with our coaching. The confidence you gain, and range of case studies is amazing! - Cohort discussions monthly. This helps you to build confidence by answering questions with your practical applications.
