Description

In Tactile Cueing & the Nervous System, Cari Riis Stemmler explores the powerful relationship between touch and the nervous system—and why tactile cueing can be an essential gateway to discovery for your clients.

Learn about risk factors with inappropriate touch, the consequences of overstretching or over-cueing, and practical guidelines for hand placement, depth of touch, and the importance of bilateral input for the brain.

Discover how manual cues can refine pelvic, spine, shoulder, and head placement to create more efficient movement and a fully embodied experience. Explore the role of parasympathetic soothing and how it primes the body for deeper awareness, connection, and responsiveness.

 

You’ll also gain insight into key questions:

  • When and how should you use manual cues?
  • How do you place your hands in a purposeful and appropriate way?
  • What is the anatomy of the nervous system, and how can it be re-educated through touch?

This workshop gives you the tools to answer these questions and more, empowering you to use tactile cueing with confidence and intention.
