Mindfully Moving Toward Resilience

Course overview

Intentional resilience building is an often overlooked yet critical asset to successful rehabilitation. Fundamental, evidence-based skill sets to build resilience can be integrated into self-care plans to support optimal healing for patients and to nurture the health professionals who serve them. Each course in this series features a facet of the science of resilience, then offers an experiential component that can be immediately applied to home practice or used in a clinical setting. This course will explore perspectives on how mindful movement builds human resilience beyond physical fitness. The skill of interoception (inner body sensing) is described for application to clinical practice. The relationship between resilience and interoception for promoting self-regulation is featured. Useful cues for integrating mindful movement into daily activities are presented. The course will benefit health professionals who wish to move more mindfully themselves and will be useful for anyone training others to enhance their physical activity.
