Understanding & Transforming Chronic Pain by Arnold Askew
June 13 @ 9:00 am – June 14 @ 5:00 pm
Retraining Neural-Circuits & Neuromuscular Habits
14 CE Hours + Approved by NCBTMB
The class is an in-depth introduction to the theory and hands-on approach of
Somatic Education. The class focuses on addressing chronic pain, though the
techniques are just as effective with acute injuries, surgical recovery, and
improving day to day and sports performance. The skills are also easily
assimilated into other modalities of massage therapy.

Class Participants comments and feedback
“I really enjoyed Arnold’s method of teaching, great sense of humor, very intuitive, would take
his class anytime” D. Anson
“The course was so helpful to push me into a deeper understanding of how I, as a practitioner,
can facilitate healing efficiency, awareness, and better movement in my clients. Being able to
experience and feel the profound changes with subtle work will add much more dimension to my
work as a Rolfer.” P. Reaves
“Really excited about this information, wish general public could be educated about this.” V.
Cook
“Thank you for your wonderful presentation. I appreciated your willingness to “tell it like it is”,
even if it may not fit so clearly into the traditional confines of our field. I feel like you have a well
thought out, clearly articulated and focused workshop. And I have both something I can take
with me and apply now and a path for continuing my inquiry.” T. Wilson
“Before I met Arnold I was in constant pain. He showed me how to understand the patterns I had
gotten into. I am very grateful to him, first because the pain never came back, and second
because he taught me how to care for myself.” N Feige, Teacher, Mother
