Level One

The Basic Course, Segments A and B, is appropriate for everyone seeking to improve his/her own health, for health care professionals, and for those interested in developing a new career in holistic health.

Topics covered include:

• Massage techniques that support breathing, circulation, digestion, the spine and joints, muscles, the nervous system and the visual system. There are specific massage techniques that clients with osteoporosis, muscular dystrophy, degenerative conditions of nerve, arthritis, and other problems have found helpful
• Movement, breathing, and visualization exercises which correct patterns of strained, unbalanced use and work synergistically wit h the massage techniques
• Relevant anatomy, physiology, and pathology
• Vision improvement techniques that relax the eyes and reprogram visual habits
• Analysis of movement patterns through touch and observation
• Creating the specific program each client needs
• Prevention of and relief from occupational hazards of massage therapy

These topics are approached within a context of self-care. Students learn how to cultivate a deep physical awareness focused around movement, including very subtle kinds of movement within the body.Meir Schneider believes that movement is life; we limit movement — and vitality — through stress-induced muscle tension and cultural expectations about how we should move.

Each Level One Class is Dynamic and Unique

In Level One, students learn the basics of the Self-Healing Method. They begin to understand how to find new movement possibilities for themselves and for people with disabilities through the exploration of their own movement restrictions and possibilities.

Usually class composition is a mixture of massage therapists, health care professionals, beginners and people who want to learn how to improve their own health and function or that of a loved one. Disabled students are welcome and every effort is made to accommodate them. People young and old and from close and far have come to study The Meir Schneider Method of Self-Healing.

Class structure alternates between lecture/discussion, and practice of massage and movement. There is a considerable amount of reading and self-reflection that we recommend doing before the class begins. Please allow time for this while scheduling for the class.

Level Two

In Level Two, students learn how to apply the tools and insights of Level One clinically.

• They are introduced to four groups of clients per day, and work with them in small groups under supervision.
• Clients are pre-selected to provide the students with experience in addressing a wide range of health and functional problems.
• Students are encouraged to develop and apply their own intuition and invention.
• Evaluation of the movement patterns of clients and students is emphasized.
• Discussion of personal clients, too, and conditions, is encouraged during Question and Answer time.

Level Two is appropriate for students interested in working with others: whether with family and friends, or as Self-Healing Method professional with clients.

Apprenticeship (Level Three)

In Apprenticeship, students work with the instructor in his or her practice. Clients tend to be motivated and interesting — people with such serious medical problems that they were given up as “incurable” by their physicians, musicians and athletes who want to improve their performance, and others. Students may also gain apprenticeship experience through assisting at a limited number of workshops and classes.
