Mike and Shane attending Norman Doidge seminar, bestseller of ‘the brain that changes itself’..

What a great day was had by a couple of our Melbourne osteopaths, Dr Michael Santamaria and Dr Shane Heslop at the Norman Doidge seminar.

He is an absolutely gifted public speaker with an infectious enthusiasm for how the brain and the neurological system can be changed and influenced by differing specific exercise (s).  A couple of examples were the Parkinsons man who learnt to walk again by conscious thought, who started to THINK about how to walk properly, starting to lift up his leg, flex up his foot and lengthen his stride and another Parkinsons patient who improved his tremor WITHOUT medication by doing woodwork 4-5 times a day!

Tomorrow should be even better!
