Yoga for Injury & Pain Rehabilitation Workshop (YACEP Eligible)

This training workshop is suitable for yoga teachers, physical therapists, caregivers, or even family members and friends, who would like to incorporate yoga as a complementary and holistic approach to enhance, if not restore, functional ability and quality of life in the face of pain and injury.

This workshop is YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) eligible for Registered Yoga Teachers.

--------------------------------

OVERVIEW

Yoga can be an excellent tool for pain and injury rehabilitation, as it can help increase flexibility, strength, balance, and range of motion, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

With a proper understanding of the rehabilitation framework and principles and some basic anatomical & physiological functions of our body, we can safely and effectively adapt yoga to help us manage specific pain and injury.

In this 4-session workshop over the weekend, Osteopath & Yoga teacher Bryan Ng distils years of experience helping people with musculoskeletal pain into accessible and practical strategies to optimise bodily function and healing through adapted yoga practice for injury and pain.

The first session lays the foundation of our pain and injury management approach by introducing some basic concepts and frameworks of pain and injury rehabilitation.

In each subsequent session, we will apply these guiding concepts to a few commonly seen pain conditions, focusing on one functional region of the body at a time.
