Join Aera for Self Care Interventions: Hands to Shoulders (In Person!)
From Hypermobility to Repetitive Strain, expert techniques for your relief!

Welcome to the new evolution of The Whole Body & Mind Self Care Series: Self Care Interventions!

Self Care Interventions is a new series of classes, workshops, and discussions aimed at supporting you with actionable & targeted strategies, techniques, and resources to managing chronic pain and illness at home.

About SCI: Hands to Shoulders (In person)
This class was first launched in 2024 as a solution to getting tried and true self care education out to those struggeling with chronic pain. These are everyday techniques and strategies that Aera uses to manage their hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and Repetitive Strain pains.

Pain has multiple dialects. Pain is universal as a concept, but it is not always universal in how it is perceived or managed. This class recognizes this, and goes straight to he source - rather than grind on muscles or rely on stretching to relieve pain, we go straight to the source - the nervous system!

In this class we will learn about self care interventions for the entire brachial plexus (nerves in the neck that go into the hand) and for the entire shoulder, including the armpit releases that Aera has had to rely on for managing a major source of referring pain into the forearm and hand.

This is an all ages class, but is not suitable for very little children who have not developed their motor control.

Attendees of this class will receive a $15 off ticket code to use in future classes.
