Course description

Jaw, bite and neck issues are closely linked and can significantly affect our overall health and wellbeing. If the jaw is clenched hard or there are malfunctions in the bite function, it can have negative consequences for the whole body.

In our course, you will learn how to treat these challenges, identify associated symptoms and apply Auriculotherapeutic (ear acupuncture) and Posturological techniques for treatment.

Jaw tension and neck problems often occur during periods of emotional turmoil, such as stress, grief, anxiety or anger. We naturally react by clenching our jaw to deal with these emotions, whether we're awake or asleep.

Topics we cover on the module

  • Understanding the impact of the jaw on our hormonal system, central nervous system, vision and concentration, inner ear, the cooperation between the cerebral hemispheres (laterality) and foot posture and its connection to pain issues throughout the body.

  • Treatment methods for the jaw, neck and bite - including relevant points and treatment protocols.

  • Practical exercises to guide your clients through.

  • The impact of mouth breathing on the jaw, neck, bite and general health.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

This webinar is primarily aimed at practitioners such as acupuncturists, massage therapists, reflexologists, psychotherapists and healthcare professionals such as nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, midwives and doctors with a similar background.

The course is delivered via Zoom and the training material will be delivered as a PDF file.

If you're a therapist, you can immediately implement your newly acquired knowledge directly into your treatments.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

English

What is posturology?

Posturology is a tool to understand the body's posture and decode where a problem is hiding.

Posturology is used as a treatment method to correct body posture. This makes it particularly suitable for managing physical pain throughout the body and addressing psychological challenges.

Posturology uses Auriculotherapy in its treatment method.

The training is spread over one weekend and a wrap-up zoom evening after the weekend.

WHAT POSTUROLOGY CAN DO

Physical pain:

After surgery or physical trauma such as falls, traffic accidents or improper lifting, posture problems can occur. When pain occurs, the body adapts to achieve the most appropriate position under the circumstances. This adaptation can materialize as tension in muscles, connective tissue, fascia, tendons, and twists and rotations in joints, which are reflected in posture. Rotations, misalignments and twists can perpetuate existing pain and possibly lead to new pain, both acute and long term. Understanding that pain can manifest years or decades later as a consequence of previous complications can be complex.

Mental strain:

The interaction between the two hemispheres is crucial for the body's ability to maintain healthy posture and internal centering. In cases of stress and other forms of mental and emotional strain, the cooperation, known as laterality, plays a crucial role. When overload occurs, it not only manifests itself psychologically, but is also reflected physically, especially through twists and rotations. Therefore, posturology is a powerful approach to both understanding and treating mental overload.

THIS IS WHAT YOU LEARN TO TREAT IN THE PROGRAM

Pain conditions:

  • Muscles and joints
  • Whiplash and concussion
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Strain injuries such as mouse arm, golf elbow and tennis elbow
  • Neck and lower back pain
  • Foot problems and foot pain
  • Neurological pain such as trigeminal neuralgia, etc.

Mental health challenges:

  • Stress, depression and sadness
  • Difficulty concentrating and feeling "out of it"
  • Insomnia and fatigue
  • Hormonal imbalances such as infertility, menstrual pain, etc.
  • Visual disturbances, eye cooperation and other vision issues
  • Body balance, motion sickness and dizziness

PROTOCOLS YOU LEARN

Posturological toolbox:

  • Posturological tests for a clear treatment pathway
  • Knowledge about ear points and their influence on posture
  • Insoles, manufacturing for patients
  • Exercises for eyes and jaw
  • Using magnets for relaxation and testing
  • Frequency knowledge for effective treatment with and without needles

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Danish

The basic training in auriculotherapy consists of Modules 1, 2, and 3, which form a strong foundation for understanding the body and auriculotherapy.

Auriculotherapy teaches you to identify and resolve blockages that prevent effective treatment. When a person experiences recurring pain, depression, functional disorders, digestive problems, etc., it often indicates blockages in the body. These blockages are aspects that the body either does not understand or has shut down as a survival mechanism.

Auriculotherapy may be the answer to these challenges, and basic training strengthens the foundation for dealing with them.

THIS IS WHAT WE GO THROUGH IN THE TRAINING

  1. AuriculoTherapy Module 1 - FOCUS ON PAIN TREATMENT and basic understanding - get started.
  2. Auriculotherapy Module 2 - FOCUS ON FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS, we go deeper and you learn how to use the VAS pulse to ask the body what it needs.
  3. Auriculotherapy module 3 - ADVANCED AURICULOTHERAPY - frequencies, colors, filters and phases. Here you learn to seek and treat directly on the body, to treat without needles and break the negative cycle when the nervous system shuts down. 

The training is a combination of e-learning, webinars and attendance days.

The e-learning part is available 14 days before the attendance days of the course. E-learning includes videos, quizzes and printable material for personal or clinic use. E-learning allows you to prepare thoroughly so that you are well equipped for the training. You have unlimited access to watch the videos at your own pace leading up to the attendance classes.

The webinar day focuses on theory, while the attendance days are dedicated to practical training of techniques, point localization, review of the theory from the E-learning and webinar part, and treatment. Sufficient time is allocated for practicing and applying the learned skills in practice.

WHAT, WHO AND WHERE

After completing the basic training in auriculotherapy, you will have the tools and knowledge to treat various disorders and imbalances. This can include pain relief, stress reduction, managing sleep problems, digestive issues, and emotional challenges. Auriculotherapy can also help strengthen the immune system and improve overall health and well-being. It gives you the tools to work with the body's own healing system and strengthen the individual's ability to achieve balance and health.

The program is aimed at both practitioners and those who wish to start a practice as a practitioner. To get the most out of the program, we recommend that you acquire knowledge of anatomy and pathology either before or during the program. This will strengthen your understanding and ability to apply the skills you have learned in practice.
