For Licensed Massage Therapists Nationwide
Course Overview
Bodywork for PTSD 1 introduces a structured framework for working with clients whose nervous systems are shaped by stress or trauma. This course moves beyond technique and focuses on clinical reasoning, pacing, and regulation-based intervention.
Participants will learn how to recognize patterns of autonomic dysregulation, respond without force, and build professional confidence when sessions become complex.
What You'll Learn
• Identify patterns of autonomic dysregulation in clinical sessions.
• Apply regulation-first principles without force-based intervention.
• Adapt pacing and pressure to support safety and client stability.
• Differentiate structural restriction from nervous system protection.
• Build clinical reasoning beyond memorized protocols.
• Establish ethical boundaries when working near trauma-sensitive regions.
