"There was so much invaluable learnings about the human mind and body! I feel forever grateful to Renae's influence and teachings!"

— Rachael Gibson, Aerial Teacher/Therapist

How is the Aerial Hammock used to support Pain Management?

The benefits of inversion therapy, sensory motor learning and the significance of proprioception have been previously documented in research on chronic back pain (Kim et. al, 2013; Tong et. al, 2017). Leading experts in pain management suggest the direction for innovation in pain interventions require methods that address both mind and body processes (Mostagi et al., 2015; Chou et al., 2017). Aerial therapeutic interventions are currently being adapted into exercise rehabilitation by physiotherapists in Australia and New Zealand with promising results with low back pain and other pathologies (Performance Pilates & Physiotherapy, 2017; UprightCare, 2017).

How is the Aerial Hammock used to support Mental Health?

The fundamental understanding behind using body-orientated therapies is that from birth onwards all experience is embodied. Past experience can be recognised in present physiological states and re-enacted in actions such as breath, gestures, sensory perception, movement, emotion and thought. From this understanding, remembering or speaking of the trauma may not be required in the process of recovery as one can work directly with self-awareness and self-regulation to reduce symptoms and learn new ways being in their body and in the world (Rothschild 2000). Multi-modal interventions, such as the aerial hammock, that integrate the brain, body, senses and creative expression are proving to be successful in trauma therapy and supported by emerging neuroscience research (Van der Kolk, 1994; Van der Kolk, MacFarlane & Weisaeth, 1996; Malchiodi, 2008; Carey, 2006). The aerial hammock opens opportunities to establish trust, which is considered essential in safe trauma treatment, and limits the dangers of re-traumatization (Friedman 1996; Friedman et al. 2010). This modality is also effective cross-culturally and is often experienced as a relaxing, non- threatening activity by adults and children.

The course not only teaches you exercises in a therapeutic format, it also educates you in a lot of other areas like anatomy, biomechanics, Yoga and Pilates as well. The rehab and remedial repertoire in the hammock gave me more ideas, skills and confidence to work with a new range of clients who are normally not on my scope of practice.”

Studio Owner Testimonial - Catherine Nicolas

“The 150HR course has been a wonderfully enriching and enlightening journey into the world of aerial yoga for therapeutic application. Both fascinating and practical, Renae has created a comprehensive course which has equipped me with the skills to literally add a new dimension to my 1:1 Pilates and Aerial Yoga teaching. The value of the hammock in a therapeutic setting is enormous for working with both injuries and conditions, and for addressing mental health and trauma informed practice. Renae brings an incredible depth of knowledge and experience together with her calm and Centered delivery to inspire and educate.

I recommend this course for studio instructors working 1:1 with clients, and to other practitioners seeking to add a new skill set to their practice. Renae is inspiring and the course is beautifully put together so that it’s interesting, the pace is great and the learning is enjoyable.”
