Refining Your Pandiculation Skills

John Loupos & Gabriel Posner 4-27-2019

Pandiculation is one of the most basic tools we use to help clients recover from sensory motor amnesia, so it’s very important that we use this tool with great understanding and skill. In this presentation we’ll cover a range of pandiculation topics, both theoretical and hands-on. We’ll review the latest scientific literature, take a closer look at the mechanics of pandiculation, and include exercises designed to help you match your pandicular skills to the particular needs, abilities, and individual psychologies of the clients you work with.
