THE Steiner METHOD
Continuing Education
Imagine a scientific method
that taps into healing
at its deepest level
Lifelong Learning
Learn a method that improves quality of life
Education through the Steiner Institute will increase proficiency in even the most experienced practitioners. This method provides a roadmap for navigating the multidimensional healing process in anyone regardless of pathology or level of wellness.
The Steiner Method is based in physics and orthopedics. It has proven its efficacy through hundreds of patient cases as therapists incorporate it successfully into their practices, achieving lasting, life changing results for their clients.
The Steiner Institute Continuing Education curriculum begins with six courses that may be taken individually by healthcare providers interested in learning elements of the Steiner Method. These six courses are prerequisites for attending Steiner Institute’s Residency Program which includes advanced courses and mentorship in the Steiner Method.
Introducing
Steiner Institute Education
We teach life activating techniques.
Because the Steiner Method addresses the body as a whole, the changes are integrated and lasting. Ultimately, the Steiner Method allows patients to feel better in their body, mind, and spirit.
The Details
Continuing Education Curriculum
Courses are taught by Steiner Institute faculty. Rebecca Kern Steiner, PT, OCS, SEP is the founder of Steiner Institute and owner of New Dimensions Physical Therapy. She has over 30 years of teaching and clinical experience.
BioActivation SM
BioActivation is a proprietary system of manual therapy. This hands-on approach of assessment and treatment restores pain-free movement and alignment throughout the body.
Typically with soft tissue or myofascial release, the focus is on the tissue itself. In this paradigm, the myofascial system is released for the purpose of restoring the alignment and arthokinematics of each joint relative to the body as a whole. The power of this method and its ability to create lasting results lies in its systematic assessment of how the entire body responds to each manual maneuver. Each technique is nuanced to achieve maximum balance and resilience throughout the entire musculoskeletal system.
The focus of this method, therefore, is the alignment of each bone and the mobility of each joint in a variety of positions. This is achieved by assessing and treating the myofascial system in various planes with respect to gravity and with active movement which provides rapid results.
BioActivation allows our patients to reclaim pain-free movement even after years without relief.
BioActive Myomechanics SM
BioActive Myomechanics is a proprietary system for analyzing and retraining movement. This method systematically improves movement by correcting biomechanics as well as the intrinsic sequencing of muscular activity.
This method tracks and improves how force translates through the body and how well the musculoskeletal system can sustain tensegrity during movement. BioActive Myomechanics targets and trains intrinsic muscular firing pattens by modifying and breaking down the design of a motion into its component parts. Each element of movement is systematically refined according to biomechanics principles outlined within this system.
BioActive Myomechanics is highly effective at relieving pain, improving athletic performance and teaching individuals how do use their bodies with maximum ease and comfort.
