Presenting problems: Common conditions encountered in practice. You are invited to come along and share your experiences of working through Biodynamic Massage with specific disorders and symptoms, and to hear how others work with these. The following is a small sample to get you thinking: IBS, Eating Disorders, Cancer, Anxiety/panic, Arthritis and much more. A few experienced practitioners have been invited to start discussion on some of these topics and we hope you will come along with your ideas and experiences so that we can make this a worthwhile learning and sharing experience.
