Phase III at Navajeevana Rehabilitation Center - Intermediate Level Training for Trainers



Our pilot and follow up trainings at Navajeevana Rehabilitation Center have been a tremendous success. Many patients at Navajeevana and Yayawatta Village clinic are experiencing lasting relief from pain considered to be chronic and unmanageable.

Our goal now is to train those who have a solid grasp of the Trager® Approach (train trainers) how to teach others the fundamental principles of the technique and lead group Mentastics® classes for their community

This along with educating lay caregivers is where these programs can scale to the benefit of the greatest number and be the most cost effective. 

Also, Navajeevana's facility expansion can potentially make it the leading training center in the country for Rehabilitation Center Management and for continuing education in progressive treatment/healing therapies.  Your contribution will help us realize this potential for Navajeevana, Sri Lanka's therapists, its communities at large, and serve as the model program from which we can grow.

During our time in Sri Lanka we will conduct another Level 1 training for PT's and assistants in Central Sri Lanka, Columbo, Kandy, Batticaloa.  Depending on therapist availability, the format of the training may change however, all of the material, clinical sessions and demonstrative training will be covered.  The Navajeevana Staff can provide peer support for these new students and provide assistance at the trainings.
