SomaTraining Education

Finishing last month with 2TLS (transverse tendinous and ligamentous “stretching”) for the upper limb, trunk and pelvis modules. I really enjoyed teaching in a small group settings. It allows plenty of time for practice, Q&A and going into more details when needed so that students are ready to apply as soon as the next day.

First ELDOA course in the Middle East. Probably one of the most dynamic, hard working, fun and loudest group of professionals I have taught, to date. 😀 Many thanks and for making it happen!!! Great first visit to Beirut. Now lets continue to learn by doing, until next time!

ELDOA Level 3 Certification with this awesome group! “We learned by doing.” Already looking forward to seeing you back at Level 4 in November.

Throw back a couple weeks ago in Berlin with and .eu and a fun and engaging group of student keen to learn the details of Myofascial Stretching. This is a tough course with a lot of detailed anatomy and biomechanics to put into practice. Well done everyone for putting the work in. Now master it by doing it regularly. Thank you Sarah for assisting and the great organisation.

It’s a wrap. After rescheduling it a couple times because of the pandemic, the ELDOA Level 4 Trainer Certification course taught by ELDOA creator Guy VOYER DO has finally happened last week. It was a success with this awesome group of new ELDOA Trainers from the UK, Canada, the US, Germany, Italy, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Serbia, Macedonia and Japan(hope I didn’t miss any country) insta didn’t let me tag more of you. This was our first bigger event since the pandemic and it feels good to be back!😀
Our new ELDOA certification course schedule is on the website for the first half of 2023 with ELDOA 1-2 in March, Level 3 at the end of April and if you have missed out on Level 4, the next one is planned for autumn 2023. Stay tuned!

I really enjoyed this course with this group of dedicated practitioners. __Everyone is surprised how hard ELDOA can be when they try it first. It looks like a stretch when you just look at photos online but in reality, it is strengthening with awareness in a range we aren’t used to working in. __After all, we are talking about achieving very precise self induced osteo articular “decoaptation/decompression”…__ NEW DATES are up on the Somatraining website (link in bio) for the Levels 1, 2 and 3 courses for early 2023. The first two levels details the spine while the level 3 details the peripheral joints.

Super Early Bird Registration for the ELDOA™ Level 4 -Trainer Certification Course is ending in 12 days on the 30th of June!

The SomaTraining Education programs will be running from September to June in line with the normal school year. We will start off this with our ELDOA™ Levels 1-2 intensive Certification course on.

This course will deepen your understanding of spinal anatomy and biomechanics both in a descriptive way as well as in relation to different fascial links and planes. ELDOA uses specific muscles contractions to reach peak fascial tension which then is used to create a decoapting/offloading effect on the targeted joint.

We are conducting the theoretical portion of the course online in the evening so it doesn't interfere with working hours. The practical "learn by doing" part of the course is on Saturday and Sunday.
Date: Theory: 13-15th of September (6-9pm)
Practical: 17-18th of September 2022 (9am-6pm)
Location: British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM), London, UK

We look forward to meeting you on this course.

We are very excited to not only offer the upgraded version of this course but to have Guy VOYER DO teach it himself. The ELDOA is undoubtedly one of his best exercise techniques. This is the last time Guy VOYER DO will teach the whole ELDOA Level 4 Advanced Certification course in its entirety. That means both theory and practical as well as the certification process. This course will dive into the detailed anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis and give you precise tests to assess the movement of the sacroiliac joint. Following that we will practice specific ELDOA exercises to address the movement dysfunction found during the tests. Whether it is a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, arthrosis of the hip or pelvic floor dysfunction addressing SIJ dysfunction with targeted ELDOA exercises is a necessary part of the rehabilitation program. Pre-requisite: ELDOA Levels 1-3. Check out link for Somatraining.co.uk for more info on this course

Great to have this dedicated bunch for another fascial normalisation course as we sail through the SomaTherapy program. The next one is with Guy Voyer DO himself on his specialised technique on transverse tendinous and ligamentous stretching (TTLS) of the Lower Limb coming up in London, UK this October. Make sure you reserve your spot in time. Visit somatraining.co.uk for details.

It’s a wrap. We held our first proper ELDOA level 3 Certification course last weekend since the pandemic with this small but hard working group. We worked on targeted ELDOA practice for the peripheral joints. The ELDOA works with specific awareness to educate the brain. I always enjoy teaching these exercises to osteopaths as it brings attention to how specific movement awareness should complement manual therapy. Stay tuned for more courses in London starting in September.

Great couple of days teaching at the RFU. It’s nice to be back here.

OSTEOARTICULAR PUMPING OF THE UPPER LIMB & TMJ course - 22-24th of May 2021

Osteoarticular pumping is a specialised manual therapy technique that is used to improve joint and connective tissue health. Its application is very targeted in order to move stagnated synovial fluid in the joint and water in the targeted ligament or bursa in both acute and chronic cases.

The immediate results are; increased range of motion with a smoother feel; reduction of pain, less or no crepitus and improved proprioception. An indispensable and incredibly effective technique to the practice of every therapist. Join us and learn it!
