The “Woo Woo” Explained: How Energetics, Fascia, Lymph, and the Nervous System Impact Movement for Rehab Professionals

This workshop is for rehab and movement professionals who want to integrate fascial work, nervous system science, the lymphatic system and energetics to better support clients with chronic pain, and movement limitations

When: May 6, 2025

Time: 6 PM CST/ 4PM PST

Investment: $37

Here is What to Expect:

The Format:

  • A 90-minute live workshop

  • We’ll cover the material in 3 parts (60 minutes total), with 10-minute practice and implementation breaks after each section, so you walk away knowing how to actually use what you’ve learned.

  • It will be recorded, allowing you to access it later if you can’t attend live.

  • After booking, you’ll receive an email with the webinar link & a reminder 24 hours before the call.

The Why:

This workshop is about understanding how the fascia, nervous system, lymphatic system and energetics all interact to influence movement, pain, stress, and healing and how to apply that knowledge with simple, effective tools in your clinical or movement practice.

The Promise:

  • You will understand HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and how to use it as a clinical tool to assess nervous system regulation

  • Have at least one vagus nerve-based technique you can immediately implement to help your clients reduce stress and access more movement

  • A clearer understanding of how the fascia, nervous system, and emotional state are interconnected, and how they directly impact movement, mobility, and recovery

This workshop is for movement professionals who:

✅ Know biomechanics isn’t enough, but feel unsure how to bring in other tools like lymphatics, fascia, or nervous system regulation in a way that fits into a clinical model

✅ Recognize that emotions, trauma, and stress patterns show up in the body, but want clear, practical ways to support release without overstepping scope or feeling lost

✅ Work with patients in chronic pain or stuck in flare cycles, and feel like you’ve tried everything but know there’s something deeper going on but not sure how to address it

✅ Want to understand how fascia, lymphatic flow, and nervous system function affect pain, healing, and movement and how to use that knowledge clinically

✅ Are curious about the role of energy, presence, and environment, from tone of voice to room setup and how these “unspoken” elements impact nervous system safety and client outcomes

✅ Or you're someone who isn't a movement professional but wants to better understand your body, nervous system, and how to support your own healing through movement, breath, and awareness

What you’re going to learn:

  • A foundational understanding of the fascia and lymphatic systems, and how fascial planes and stored patterns influence movement, breath, posture, and long-term compensation

  • What the vagus nerve is, how it regulates the autonomic nervous system, and what vagal tone means for movement, recovery, digestion, and pain

  • How bilateral movement, like somatic exercises, helps reintegrate the brain’s hemispheres, regulate the nervous system, and improve emotional processing, mobility, and muscle activation (similar to the principles behind EMDR)

  • How we can “hack the brain” to shift out of fight-or-flight states using breath, rhythm, somatic inputs, and how to measure stress and vagal tone through HRV (heart rate variability)

  • How the body is connected from tongue to toe through fascial and neurological pathways

  • How your energy and nervous system state impact the therapeutic environment, and how clients can neurologically sense this from up to 4 feet away

About the Presenter:

Mary Grimberg, PT, DPT, OCS

Dr. Mary is an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist with over 14 years of experience. She completed an orthopedic residency, earned her Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification, and spent years teaching continuing education courses rooted in biomechanics.

But when she transitioned into pelvic floor physical therapy, she discovered a critical gap, even in this specialized field. Despite extensive training in pelvic floor rehab, she noticed that the role of the nervous system and unprocessed trauma was largely missing from traditional approaches.

Her patients were experiencing chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional patterns they weren’t even aware of. Yet many were being dismissed or misunderstood by both Eastern and Western providers. Eastern medicine often blamed them for not doing enough “inner work,” while Western medicine disregarded their symptoms if they didn’t fit the structural or biomechanical model.

As a cancer survivor and someone who has worked through complex PTSD, Dr. Mary understands firsthand how pain and anxiety often stem from a disconnect between the brain and body. She did all the “right” things, ate well, exercised, but ignored her emotional and energetic needs. She was disconnected from her body, unclear on her boundaries, and missing a vital piece of healing.

With opioid use rising and traditional pain treatments falling short, Dr. Mary saw an urgent need for a blended clinical approach, one that merges the wisdom of Eastern medicine with the anatomical and biomechanical precision of Western rehab.

Dr. Mary believes that clients feel our stress and our energy. Just as we use energetic tools in diagnostics (like EKGs and EEGs), we must acknowledge how energy and regulation affect recovery.

By understanding our own nervous systems, creating intentional healing environments, and bridging Eastern and Western models, Dr. Mary is helping rehab professionals guide their patients toward real, sustainable healing, not just symptom management.
