Inspirational danish fysiotherapist and teacher Pernille Thomsen brings her new 1 day workshop to Helsingborg. Every seventh Dane experiences daily stress related symptoms. Stress can affect all ages and is a long-term cause of inappropriate activation of our nervous system, which has consequences for sleep and concentration, causing symptoms such as headache, abdominal pain, diffuse pain and nausea.

In this workshop we examine reasons why and when we can apply exercise and massage / touch – from a scientific perspective. We will look at what is happening in the brain under stress. Harvard University has called this the Toxic Brain, which states that there is atrophy of important areas of the brain during chronic cortisol secretion. We will examine the consequences for connective tissue through increased cortisol secretion and how the front cingular cortex and insula areas interfere with the cognitive part of the brain. The theoretical part will  deal with the neurophysiological changes that occur when the HPA axis is running too fast for too long.

The practical side will deal with different types of exercise, massage  and treatment so that practitioners are fully equipped to understand the needs of this specific type of patient.
