We
have all dealt with the complex chain of events that occur in the foot, knee,
hip, pelvis and resultant strain up the body when our clients injure just one
link in the chain. This workshop will examine the kinesiological, myofascial and
joint adaptations that impede healing, and will give numerous treatment options
to help return the whole chain to normal function.
For
a better understanding of the workshop, or for your own interest, please read Treating
the Knee and Lower Extremities. This workshop
will closely follow this article.
Specific
Agenda: Anatomy
and kinesiology of the ankle, knee, hip and functional movement analysis to
define and correct compensatory patterns resulting from injury; Soft tissue and
osseus strategies to return normal ankle function and better distribute shock;
Techniques to improve flexion and extension, balance soft tissue torsional
strain in the knee, improve proper joint function through joint mobilisation
techniques; and Balancing and mobilising hip rotational and flexion/extension
restrictions for optimum transition of movement through the pelvis
Prerequisites:
Skills in deep tissue massage and myofascial release work, although experienced
bodyworkers without specific MFR training who are accustomed to working with
structural issues and injuries are welcome.
