In this workshop we discuss the theories and physiology behind postural deterioration. From this understanding we can relate the changes in movement purity to the muscle chains that provide stability whilst producing force. Using our key movement pattern assessments we can identify and understand how the body compensates for the weakness that inevitably leads to dysfunction and postural changes. These key assessments can then form the foundation of a corrective strategy and effective postural exercise prescription. This workshop is a must for all industry professionals that are interested in treating postural deterioration. Providing a structured, simplistic and effective approach to postural correction. Included in the day: refreshments and morning snack, course notes & a certificate of attendance. |

Fascinating Fascia with Robert Schleip This workshop will focus on fascia as a most fascinating tissue seen through recent scientific discoveries. We will start with the biomechanical properties of fascial tissues. This will address the tensegrity networking nature of fascia, as well its ability to respond to mechanical loading with dynamic changes in water content. We will also explore recent biomechanical insights about the contribution of elastic recoil oscillatory properties of fascia in walking, running and other cyclic movement activities; including practical applications for movement education.A highlight is, of course, the latest findings from the fascia laboratory at Ulm University, addressing the ability of fascia to actively contract and relax in a smooth muscle like manner, based on the presence of contractile connective tissue cells (myofibroblasts) in fascia. We explore new hypotheses on the relationship between myofibroblast density in fascia and systemic joint hyper-/hypo-mobility, as well as indications on the enhancing/inhibitory effects of various chemical, nutritional and mechanical stimulations on fascial stiffness. Again with practical applications: looking at how can we have long-term effects on tissue stiffness. Finally this workshop will explore fascia as our richest sensory organ. The four types of fascial mechanoreceptors will be addressed in detail, including guidelines on how to stimulate each of them via therapeutic manual mechanostimulation. The mutually antagonistic relationship between fascial proprioception and myofascial pain will be emphasized. The most recent findings on differences in the sensory innervation of fascia between different persons as well as between different topographical tissues will be included. Specific suggestions will be made about therapeutic avenues to alter brain mapping (body image/ body schema) via proprioceptive fascial stimulation. |
