Lesson Plan

Mindful Manual Therapy: Interoception, Mindfulness, and Touch

Learn a new approach to address the challenge of treating patients with chronic pain or conditions unresponsive to traditional methods: we’re going to equip you with strategies to improve body awareness through interoception. You’ll go beyond treating symptoms, targeting the root causes of persistent issues for more effective outcomes. This approach aims to enhance your treatment strategies, helping you navigate past therapeutic dead ends with confidence.

Join us to bridge the gap between the latest scientific research and practical clinical application. Discover how integrating interoception into your practice can set you apart as a holistic practitioner, equipped to navigate the complexities of modern patient care with forward-thinking strategies.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Accurately identify at least three key interoceptive signals (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and muscular tension) and assess their implications for emotional and physical health in clients, using standardized assessment tools.
  • Integrate mindfulness techniques into manual therapy sessions, guiding clients through at least two specific exercises aimed at enhancing interoceptive awareness and managing pain, as demonstrated in experiential practice sessions.
  • Create a comprehensive treatment plan that incorporates interoceptive techniques for a hypothetical patient case.
  • Identify subtle interoceptive cues that can guide your assessment and treatment planning.
  • Develop more nuanced hypotheses about patient conditions, leading to targeted interventions.
  • Learn how to apply manual therapy in ways that specifically enhance interoceptive awareness.
