Feb 21 : Upper Thoracic / Neck / Shoulders
Whether you are looking for greater ease or range of movement in the shoulder girdle and upper thoracic or needing relief from pain and tension caused by a forward head position resulting from spending far too many hours in front of your computer, tablet etc this workshop is for you.
Understanding the compensating patterns, whether from strain or injury, that have led to your continued struggles and pain over time; to ultimately creating a space where the balancing of the skull over the shoulder girdle while being supported by spinal stabilization and healthy movement patterns allowing for a lasting relief and freedom from pain.
Mar 21 : Lumbar / Pelvis / Hips
Low back pain, whether chronic or idiopathic, is complex to say the least. Spinal conditions, disc herniations, muscle strains and over compensations from injury or trauma, repetitive strains, the overuse of some muscles and weakness in others. This lumbar and pelvic imbalance alters the way we move through our daily lives. Reconnecting the legs, pelvis and lumbar is essential to be free of pelvic imbalances, SI joint / sciatic nerve pain, hip impingements and loss of overall ease of movement are the underlying this suffering.
Apr 18 : Core Stabilizations & Connections
Standing and sitting upright doesn't just happen. A dynamic network muscle, fascia, soft tissue, nerve function and bone creates a stabilizing postural structure of reflexes, resistances and ultimately balances that keep us from falling over. Top to bottom, left to right, front to back etc, these connections are required for the ease of movement for all us bipeds.
Abdominal core connections are indeed an intricate part of this network but it is so much more.
When these are out of balance for whatever reason, we learn instead to compensate and over time this creates the very pain we are currently struggling with.
Although the theme of each workshop is specified, each will be
designed to best address the concerns and issues of those registered.
Sign up for all or the ones that best suit you. Space will be limited to 6.
Registration is open NOW!
