Subjects for the workshop

• Acute and chronic bronchitis - why chronic?
• COPD - what is it really? - what can we do?
• Hyperventilation is common, how does it affect the body?
• Asthma - can the breathing pattern be the cause?
• New knowledge about the self healing capacity of lung tissue
• Prolonged CoVid-19 symptoms - What can we do?
• Temporary loss of smell and taste, work with nerve points and train the senses.
• Allergic rhinitis, understand the quick reactions of mucous membranes
• The facial and trigeminal nerves as important in the treatment of mucous membranes
• Thoracic muscle release via the intercostal nerves
• Connections between breathing and the brain/cognition
• A "new" solar plexus point

Worldwide, over 1 billion people suffer from chronic respiratory problems (World Health Organization 2003).

Most common are non-communicative diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). 

A new understanding is slowly emerging. The new focus is on inflammatory processes as the primary cause.

Lately, long lasting symptoms after CoVid-19 present as a new disease, often affecting lung tissue.

A selection of reflexology techniques

• Using dorsal and plantar aspects of the same reflexes 
• Reflexes for respiratory muscles 
• Reflexes for the diaphragm and its nerve supply 
• Nerve reflex point for the phrenicus nerve, and the connection between the diaphragm and inner organs 
• Reflex for the phrenic plexus - or is it the solar plexus? 
• Reflexes for bronchi and their concentration of lymph nodes 
• Treating the nose and sinuses in a new way 
• Nerve reflex point for the facial nerve, innervation of the mucous membranes in the nose and sinuses
• Nerve reflex point for the trigeminal ganglion, a good point with painful sinuses

Breathing philosophy

What is the Buteyko method?

In all its simplicity, the method says: the less breathing the better.For over 30 years, Konstantin P. Buteyko explored the effect of hyperventilation and developed a breathing technique, that can reverse the development of asthma and other diseases.

What happens when you hyperventilate?
Respiration ads oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide. If you breathe too much, the concentration of carbon dioxide drops too low, with a number of undesirable effects on blood vessels, immune system, nervous system and digestion.

Work sequence

The work sequence lists all the techniques we teach in the workshop.

Towards the end of the course, we will demonstrate the flow of a a complete session, how to combine the techniques and the interaction with the client.

High quality webinars

Touchpoint has setup a professional studio with multiple cameras, microphones and light to secure a high quality presentation. This is particularly important when demonstrating the practical techniques.

Handouts & Recording

As webinar attendee you will receive our course manual and CPD/CE-certificate as PDF-files.
One week before the course we send an email with practical info, join link and handouts.

The event will be recorded and you will receive a link to the video files after the course.
Recordings can be accessed for 90 days.

Instructors

Dorthe Krogsgaard & Peter Lund Frandsen

On Touchpoint courses and workshops you benefit from having two instructors throughout the days.
Dorthe and Peter are both highly experienced international teachers, who present a mixture of theory, demonstrations and lots of hands-on practice.
