The Brain & Pain: A Reflexology Perspective

Chantel C Lucier, chantellucier@gmail.com 

CEUs: 3

In this 3-hour workshop we will explore the complex connections within the neurological system to help better understand how to tend to our own and our client’s experience of pain.

Students will learn: 

• How the brain receives, processes, retrieves, stores, and interprets pain.
• How the Central Nervous System functions and how it's relevant to understanding pain perception.
• What reflexology is, how it works, and how it is an excellent "interrupter" of pain.
• The reflex points, areas, and techniques to address pain.
• Anatomy and physiology of the brain, including lobes, cortices, etc.
• The emotional component and how self-meditative states and a metaphysical approach may induce a shift in pain.
