Love your Knees

Your knees help you to sit and rise, and are part of every step you take.  When the knees hurt you can feel quite debilitated.

While it may seem that the knees are vulnerable to over use and injury, the real cause of discomfort is simply not understanding how they function.   Your knees are not a simply hinge joint.  There are rotations and counter-rotations happening through the whole leg with the knee playing the intermediary.  That means that often the cuing we give ourselves is the problem.  We are often inadvertently blocking the proper function.

This workshop will introduce the brilliance that are your knees to you so that you can work with them instead of against them.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand your Habits that can be contributing to knee pain
• Gain clarity of the complex function and allow it to express itself naturally
• Love your Knees again!

Restore Spinal Function and Posture

A flexible spine is not just a happy spine, but it gives us the skill of adaptability in all areas of our lives.  There is a lot of confusion about the function and design of the spine based on cues to “stand up straight” and yet we have 4 curves to the spine which need to be fully expressed for you to have a healthy spine.

Ideally posture is dynamic which means that “holding” our posture is going to counter that directive.  Discover the brilliant design of your spine and how it’s function was created to allow you to have upright posture in gravity.

Learning Outcomes

• Discover and Honour the Curves of the Spine
• Have a plan for ensuring full spinal movement in all 3 directions
• Know the appropriate self cuing that will allow for dynamic posture.

Injury Release Method

When an injury occurs in the body, especially an acute injury, the soft tissues of muscles, ligaments and tendons do heal, although often not completely.  However, without proper care, the nervous system remembers. This prevents not just complete healing of the tissues due to a protective bubble around the injury site, but an overall body tightening.

The shock of a sudden and intense pain, causes a response of the nervous system.  Through a series of processes, this stress response can be resolved.  The result is a return of sensation, proprioception, function and flexibility not just around the injury but throughout the whole body.

Up to 5 different injury sites can be resolved in one session.
