L1

LEVEL 1 FOCUS: MOVEMENT, REGULATION AND SENSORY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND INTERACTIONSThroughout the Level 1 certification process, you will learn about the following topics: • Characteristics of infant and child development transitions related to regulation,

movement, and sensory system integration complexity.• Characteristics and phases of fetal movement development.• Pregnancy and birth challenges which challenge subsequent regulation and

movement development.• Complex attributes of lymphatic system function related to regulation and movement. • Considerations for head trauma effects on overall regulation, movement, and

sensory integration. PROGRAM COMPONENTS (LEVEL 1)Bridging appears simple but has roots in the complexities of movement development. The richness of this understanding is the focus of the Level 1 certification. To support you throughout this process and help ensure your success, you will take part in weekly mentor-led group chats and periodic seminars to expand knowledge depth.

Education on the Bridging technique will be delivered through academic discussions, observation, practice, and experiential learning, as follows: 1. Unsupervised Practice Hours documented on a log sheet. (100 hours).2. Supervised Internship with guided discussions and feedback. (50 hours).3. Seminars designed to provide more in-depth knowledge of the developmental

schema upon which Bridging is based. (Five, three-hour seminars).4. Learning Circle: 20 weekly guided group discussions with mentor

(20-minute conference call or video chat). 5. Bridging Quarterly Meeting participation (two required).6. Case Study (guidelines will be provided).7. Skill and Knowledge Tests—written and practical.8. Personal Sessions with Bridging Level 2 Master (two sessions) required.

DETAILS AND LOGISTICS OF INTERNSHIPInternship hours must be scheduled in advance with Kinetic Konnections Team or other affiliated Bridging Level 2 Master. Hours to be completed over a period of 6 (min) - 15 (max) months. Feedback discussions will be scheduled following every 5-10 hours for a total of 5 hours feedback.

The Kinetic Bridging® technique, developed and taught by Fully Fit Lifestyles, Inc. d/b/a Kinetic Konnections, is a simple yet powerful way to assess stability and restore movement to individuals of all ages. The hierarchy of movement follows the LIMBB (Lindell Integrated Movement Building Blocks) Chart, and the technique uses a series of subtle passive stretches, wiggles and bounces to resynchronize regulation between various body systems. The fundamentals of Bridging are simple for most adults to learn. Complex personal history (trauma, injury, illness or unusual birth) require more training and experience.

There are currently two certification levels (“Level 1” and “Level 2”). Each level requires completion of practical experience, internship experience, and mastery of knowledge demonstrated through a written case study and satisfactory completion of written and practical tests.

SEMINAR MODULE TOPICS (LEVEL 1)Each three-hour seminar will cover the topic and assigned reading with time allocated for Q&A based upon practical situations and will include hands-on demonstrations. 1. Child Development—Multi-Dimensional a. Explore the book ‘Learning Child/Playing Child’ to better understand

multi-dimensional changes in children from improved movement and regulation. b. Explore the progression of movement from birth to age 3. c. Parallel social and cognitive development to movement.2. Fetal Movement and Development a. Review key sections of book ‘Fetal Behavior’ and current research. b. Explore why this time period holds key clues for Bridging. c. Discuss ways events in this time period influence Bridging work.3. Birth Scenarios and Common Issues for Mom/Child a. How bedrest, short/long labor, C-section, hormone shifts, and epidurals

impact mom. b. Common aspects of these scenarios and how they relate to regulation during

and after pregnancy. c. Tips for quickly addressing the most common issues.4. Lymphatic System Details a. More detailed exploration of key system details and transition points. b. Discussion of the priority of this system and typical clues form client history. c. Practice. 5. Concussion/TBI Relationships a. Details of head/neck/body relationships to posture and sensory systems. b. Options for assessing and working. c. Special considerations for working with TBI. LEARNING CIRCLES Weekly facilitated group chat with a team mentor. • 20 minutes weekly for 20 weeks.• Format includes assigned roles for leading discussion of scheduled reading assignments. • Q&A time: Questions and sharing details related to practice sessions.
