What is the workshop about?
- Who is it for: Everyone
- Topics: Bodywork
Module 2 is comprised of daily meditations, theoretical instruction, demonstrations and active partner exchange. The feet, legs and hips module is a guided learning experience covering body mechanics and correct methods of working with the fascia and joints. You also learn body-reading techniques and how to translate the information gathered into a session.
An important focus in this module is learning how to free the gluteus medius and minimus, tensor fascia latae, and the deep rotators of the hip. You will discover the importance of the tibialis anterior and its role in flexing the foot at the ankle. You will learn to work on all of the compartments of the upper leg through work on the hamstrings, adductors, abductors and quadriceps.
This module will provide you with the skills needed to interpret structural imbalances and use a range of techniques to create sessions integrating the lower body with the pelvis and spine.
In this workshop you will explore:
- Heal pain and restore natural movement to the feet, legs and hips.
- Assess and treat foot, knee and hip complaints using body-reading, palpation and functional testing.
- Learn tools to effectively work with the plantar fascia.
- How to use joint mobilization in treatment of the foot, ankle, knee, and hip.
- Learn assisted stretches for the feet, legs and hips.
- Learn how to structurally balance the legs and feet.
- Understand the psychology of physical symptoms in the knees, hips and feet and how to work with the felt sense in understanding these messages.
