Tactile Cueing Workshop

Sep 21

Tactile cueing can be a powerful teaching tool, helping clients better understand their bodies, movement and alignment through touch. This course explores how to use tactile cues with greater clarity and intention, including how touch can support proprioception and body awareness, how to determine where, when and how to touch, and how to integrate tactile cueing alongside verbal and visual instruction. We will also explore consent, professional boundaries and how to use touch in a way that supports learning and independence rather than simply “correcting” movement.
