Brain release techniques to bring relief to those with neurological disorders
posted by robert at 5:15 pm
Article for "Natural Awakenings" magazine, August 2009 edition:
Olga Toet-Savtsjenko, licensed massage & bodywork therapist, recently completed the final of four levels of the Advanced Brain Therapy Curriculum offered by the Upledger Institute, Inc., an innovative healthcare organization that offers continuing education courses to medical and bodywork professionals worldwide.
The course was taught in Atlanta, Georgia by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO (hon.) who developed Advanced Brain Therapy and teaches the techniques internationally.
The techniques introduced by Dr. Chikly are truly on the leading edge of complimentary healthcare. The Advanced Brain Therapy techniques address very specific structures, including the brain and spinal cord, along with pathologies related to the central nervous system, such as closed-head injuries, whiplash, headaches, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, cognitive behavioral dysfunctions, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
It uses light, non-invasive touch to release brain-centered restrictions as well as the damaging effects that these restrictions cause.
The therapy is successfully used in treating many neurological disorders. Patients diagnosed with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) also experience positive effects.
Olga Toet is a nationally certified licensed massage therapist, SC #3436, specializing in Advanced CranioSacral Therapy, and has her practice at A Better Way Wellness Center, located at 7C Brendan Way, in Greenville.

Yin Yoga Intensive
posted by robert at 7:24 pm
Today I completed the Yin Yoga Intensive workshop at the Asheville Yoga Center (NC), which is based on Paul Grilley theories and publications. This 3-day workshop was lead by instructor Shala Worsley, director of the yoga studio in Asheville, and she was extremely good at clarifying and teaching us the essentials to Yin yoga. I found her to be very knowledgeable in many areas, for example how we can do poses that stimulate the meridans. I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop! There were 27 students in total, and the atmosphere was great. Yin yoga is a fantastic form of yoga, resembling old school yoga, i.e., yoga as it was before rules were applied. I plan to take more classes from Shala in the future.
