Shiatsu für Klienten und Klientinnen mit Alzheimer-Erkrankung mit Leisa Bellmore

Alzheimer’s Disease –

Two-thirds of people living with Alzheimer’s experience stress and up to 90% will develop agitated behaviours during the course of the disease. Many people living with Alzheimer’s lack interpersonal touch of a nurturing nature.

Studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of shiatsu on stress.

Shiatsu has shown positive effects for depressive symptoms in persons with Alzheimer’s and has potential in reducing agitation.

This webinar will draw on the facilitator’s clinical, personal and research experience and will cover considerations when working with this population and adaptations to shiatsu techniques to ensure a comfortable, safe and effective treatment

Leisa Bellmore is teaching in english - there will be a translation into german für german-speaking participants.

This Webinar will take place via zoom. A recodring will be offered afterwards - no matter if participants could attend live.
however, we highly recommend to participate live.
