大脑手法松弛术（MAB1）

Manual Approach to the Brain (MAB1)

“以手法接近客户的大脑，使我们能够感知它的反应性与复杂性。我们感到它在手底下活过来，有时以不可预测的方式。这项工作为与有脑部问题的人工作提供了一种新的治疗取向，从而可能改善无数求助者的生活。”

"Approaching the brain manually with our clients allows us to perceive its responsiveness and its complexity. We feel it come alive under our hands, sometimes in unpredictable ways. This work offers a new therapeutic approach to working with people with brain problems so we might improve the lives of countless people who seek help."

大脑一直令医学界与科学家着迷。各种大脑探查工具取得了长足进步。例如，功能磁共振不仅能显示结构问题，也能显示功能问题。即便如此，尽管围绕大脑的研究众多，它仍是一个谜。

The brain has always fascinated the medical community and scientists. The various investigative tools of the brain have made exceptional progress. For example, functional MRI can highlight not only structural, but also functional problems. Even so, the brain has remained a mystery despite all the research for which it has been a subject.

Jean-Pierre Barral 对大脑的兴趣已逾四十年。在治疗许多头部创伤、中风、脑部疾病与精神运动障碍患者之后，他发展出帮助这些患者的原创技术。Barral 示范如何以简明的方式处理被认为是人体最复杂器官的大脑。他把大脑及其相关的神经与血管连接视为人头的“内容物”，而以骨与膜构成的封闭腔则视为“容器”。

Jean-Pierre Barral has been interested in the brain for over forty years. After treating many people with head trauma, stroke, brain diseases, and psychomotor disabilities, he has developed original techniques to help these patients. Barral demonstrates how to work simply with what is considered the most complex organ of the human body—the brain. He addresses the brain and its associated nervous and vascular connections as the ‘content’ of the human head, which, characterized by its bony and membranous enclosure, is regarded as the ‘container.’

课程分为两部分——结构取向与功能取向：

The course is organized into two parts—a structural approach and a functional approach:

结构取向针对血管、神经、脑膜、眼、气压与脑脊液循环系统。

The structural approach is aimed at the vascular, nervous, meningeal, ocular, barometric, and cerebrospinal fluid circulation systems.

功能取向探索嗅觉、听觉、视觉、语言、协调、本体感觉、情绪等。

The functional approach explores the sense of smell, hearing, sight, language, coordination, proprioception, emotions, etc.

这些材料帮助手法治疗从业者以新的眼光看待系统性疾病。包括讨论帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病与多发性硬化等病症。将讨论这些病理，以及手法治疗在帮助这类人群时的局限；也会讨论针对大脑的手法取向如何可能超越这些局限，并帮助缓解人们因这些疾病所经历的症状。Barral 分享精确手法治疗如何可能鼓励中枢神经系统自我修复，从而可能帮助某些病症的人。从业者还将学习帮助中风（ictus）患者的方法。

The material assists manual therapy practitioners to view systemic diseases in a new light. This includes discussions about such conditions as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. Such pathologies and the limitations of manual therapy with regards to helping people with these conditions will be discussed, as well as how a manual approach to the brain may transcend these limitations and help alleviate symptoms that people are experiencing due to these diseases. Barral shares how precise manual therapy may encourage the central nervous system to self-repair and thus may help people with certain conditions. The practitioner will also learn ways to help people who have had a stroke or ictus.

由于大脑具有内在可塑性，从业者将学到的工具使他/她能够——用 Barral 自己的话说——帮助恢复大脑内部的“内在桥梁”，这对面临困难之人的生命至关重要。

Because the brain is inherently plastic, the tools that the practitioner will learn enables him or her, in Barral's own words, to help restore 'inner bridges' within the brain, which is vital to the life of those facing difficulties.

简言之，这项工作背后的原则，是在最小手法用力的轻松与最大手法精度的精细之间取得平衡。

In short, the principle underlying this work is the striking of a balance between the ease of minimum manual effort and the finesse of maximum manual precision.

大脑手法松弛术 2（MAB2）、大脑手法松弛术 3（MAB3）与大脑手法松弛术 4（MAB4）是持续的探索与处理。

Manual Approach to the Brain 2 (MAB2), Manual Approach to the Brain 3 (MAB3) and Manual Approach to the Brain 4 (MAB4) are continued exploration and treatment.

大脑手法松弛术 2（MAB2）建立在 MAB1 奠定的基础上，更深入大脑的复杂运作。它通过纳入更多结构与功能扩展范围。这门综合课程涵盖耳、语言、疼痛、情绪、记忆与平衡等一系列领域。

Manual Approach to the Brain 2 (MAB2) builds upon the foundations laid in MAB1, delving deeper into the intricate workings of the brain. It broadens its scope by incorporating additional structures and functions. This comprehensive course encompasses a range of areas, such as the ear, language, pain, emotions, memory and balance.

大脑手法松弛术 3（MAB3）更深入患者照护领域，特别聚焦具有特定病症的个体。这些进阶材料使手法治疗从业者在面对系统性疾病时能采取新的视角。课程探索一系列病症，包括帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病、耳鸣与多发性硬化。深入讨论围绕理解这些病理的复杂性，以及手法治疗在应对这些病症人士独特挑战时的局限。

Manual Approach to the Brain 3 (MAB3) delves deeper into the realm of patient care, specifically focusing on individuals with specific conditions. This advanced material empowers manual therapy practitioners to adopt a fresh perspective when approaching systemic diseases. The course explores a range of conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Tinnitus, and Multiple Sclerosis. Engaging discussions revolve around understanding the intricacies of these pathologies and the limitations of manual therapy in addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals with these conditions.

大脑手法松弛术 4（MAB4）更深入患者照护领域，特别聚焦具有特定病症的个体。这些进阶材料使手法治疗从业者在面对系统性疾病时能采取新的视角。深入讨论围绕理解病理的复杂性。

Manual Approach to the Brain 4 (MAB4) delves deeper into the realm of patient care, specifically focusing on individuals with specific conditions. This advanced material empowers manual therapy practitioners to adopt a fresh perspective when approaching systemic diseases. Engaging discussions revolve around understanding the intricacies of pathologies.
