Learn To Do Bridging

LEARN TO DO BRIDGING®

“It’s a different way to think about how the pieces that go together. Bridging is where we help the body restore its natural movement disturbed by injury or trauma.”

Dina H.(Bridging Certification Level 1 Intern)

“Kinetic Bridging uses a much lighter touch than traditional physical therapy and there are many patients I have encountered that do not respond well to a heavier touch in therapy.”

“I’ve been working with professional dancers in 15-20 minute periods during rehearsals. I’ve been able to use Bridging to quickly assess and tell me what’s not working. I’m surprised at how much using Bridging has helped me in this work landscape!”

Cynthia R., PT(completed Bridging Applications)

“Learning—it is exhilarating and exciting. Unlocking the puzzle to help someone with their issues. I love it, and like the hands on piece a lot.”

Dina H.(Bridging Certification Level 1 Intern)

“I liked the small class size, the way all the instructors assisted at different times (was very helpful to get multiple views and ideas), the gadgets they would bring in to help us understand the concepts (balloons, origami boxes, tubing, etc).”

Bridging Basics™

Looking for quick insights to make fast and meaningful changes? This is the workshop for you! Building on the introductory workshop, we take students deeper into the Bridging technique with some introductory movements.

This six-hour workshop is both experiential and theoretical. The neurological basis for the movement reactions is discussed as are the most fundamental organizing movements from early development.

Is this level right for me?

Pre-requisite: Bridging Regulation and Movement

The Bridging Basics workshop is open to parents, family members, and professionals, both in the movement and mental health arenas. The movements learned are generally good to calm active, growing children, as well as adults with recurrent movement or pain challenges.

The movements we’ll share are particularly useful for therapeutic and movement professionals wanting to make sure their own interventions leave a person in physical balance at the end of a treatment/session (acupuncture, massage, Pilates, yoga, EMDR, etc.).

What will I learn?

The three most fundamental organizing movements of the body are explored and practiced. You will be able to assess and center a person by the end of the day. The neurobiology and physiology related to the muscle and nervous system reactions will also be explored. Finally, we will also cover precautions and how to identify patients where the Bridging Technique may not be the best option.

Insights from attendees

“I like that Bridging looks at us as individuals in how and why we move in the ways we do.”
