Duration: 27 hours
[clear]What You Will Learn:
- Numerous techniques for the release of the fascia, muscles, and joints, of nerve entrapment and compression, of scar tissue and other restrictions.
- These techniques are excellent for:
- back and hip pain,
- shin splints,
- runners knee,
- IT band issues,
- sciatica,
- numerous pelvis issues and gait imbalances.
- Needless to say, releasing the lower body also affects the whole…profoundly!
An in-depth manual accompanies each Anatomy of Trauma© Module
Anyone who has built or owned a house understands the value of a healthy foundation. Defects therein can be very costly. So it is with our bodies. In humans, the evolutionary foundation is now a bi-pedal one and there has been a continuous adjustment and readjustment to forces upon us. Each step we take sends ‘shock waves’ through our body and the ability of our ‘foundation’ to adapt has a direct consequence to our health and well-being. Our feet are marvels of architecture and function. Misalignment of their bones can have a profound effect on posture. Conversely, foot problems may be a sign of strain passed down from elsewhere…spine, pelvis, hips, and knees for instance. In module 3 we will examine the dynamic anatomy of the bones, fascia, muscles and joints of our support mechanisms. Participants will learn numerous techniques to relieve pain, restore proper alignment and remove restrictions that limit movement.
In this workshop several modalities including neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, strain / counterstrain, osteopathy, and our own TraumaPractik will be taught. You will learn numerous techniques for the release of the fascia, muscles, and joints, of nerve entrapment and compression, of scar tissue and other restrictions. These techniques are excellent for back and hip pain, shin splints, runners knee, IT band issues, sciatica, numerous pelvis issues and gait imbalances. Needless to say, releasing the lower body also affects the whole…profoundly!
The whole person, their history, posture, gait, culture, environment, work, family and beliefs are all important considerations in uncovering the source of pain. TraumaPractik is a unique approach to solving core issues.
EACH DAY BEGINS WITH DISCUSSIONS:
- DISCUSSION of INJURY and TRAUMA (numerous related papers will be advised reading)
- Types of trauma (physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual)
- Differences between injury and trauma (fight, flight, freeze)
- Nature of force
- Ramifications of trauma from the individual, local and global perspective.
- Eight steps of healing
- REVIEW of PRINCIPALS, CONCEPTS and LAWS useful in understanding injury and trauma.
- Principals:
- ischemia, trigger point, nerve compression/entrapment, postural distortion, and biomechanical dysfunction, morphogenesis/stasis/kinesis
- Laws:
- Pflugers, Arndt-Shultz, Davis, Wolff, Hooke, Hilton, Newton, Herring
- Concepts – a brief overview of:
- Osteopathic Concepts: the body as a unit, structure and function are reciprocally inter-dependent, the body has a system of autoregulation, an healthy body has an inherent ability to defend and repair itself
- Bio-tensegrity and it’s vital role in every aspect of the human body and of life itself
- Epigenetics and its relevance in health
- Body/mind masters: Stanley Keleman, Alexander Lowen, Andrew Still, Thomas W. Myers
- Principals:
As well, we’ll consider numerous paradigms (Einstein’s theory of relativity, Darwin’s laws, Heizenberg’s uncertainty principle, Burr’s holographic concept) and how they apply to health and healing.
