How can we gently alleviate chronic or acute pain? Can we prevent repetitive motion injuries? What about posture? Many interpreters are seated for prolonged periods of time - whether during travel, at their workstations, or within certain job environments. This webinar offers an exciting exploration of somatic movements tailored to be performed independently, whether seated or standing. Through these practices, interpreters can proactively enhance their well-being, ensuring longevity and effectiveness in their profession.
Participants of this activity, upon completion, will:
1. Utilize new tools and techniques to manage stress, relax, and release bodily tension,
2. Explore and discover their own personal movement patterns and habits,
3. Expand their toolbox of strategies to alleviate and manage chronic pain or discomfort through movement and awareness, as well as enhance what they may already access, &
4. Take an active role in their well-being through mindful movement practices.
