Posture and Post-Techniques Class

 

Class Description

 

A discussion of Ortho-Bionomy philosophy and principles including:

 

•  Philosophical and scientific roots in Osteopathy, a 100-year-old system of health care

    that recognizes the body’s self-healing and self-regulating capacity.

 

•  Development of therapeutic skills in assessment, palpation, and balancing

 

•  How to utilize neuro-muscular exercises for assessment, release, integration and self-care

 

•  Defining and recognizing postural integrity

Neuro-muscular exercises and positional release techniques for the entire body including:

 

Iliopsoas muscle group – at the center of our being – these “messenger” muscles are dynamic movers of the central nervous system.

 

SI (sacro-iliac joint) –  a key to pelvic integrity and coherency.

 

Lumbar spine (low back)  – weight bearing vertebrae – pathway to postural stability.

 

Sacrum – the “smart” bone of the pelvic ring – transmits weight, absorbs stress, and affects gait, stride and movement.

 

Thoracic spine – houses and protects our vital organs – assists in breathing - the skeletal “feeler”, focuser and translator.

 

Cervical spine (neck) – the most flexible part of our spine – mediates and communicates.

 

Postural reeducation:  – assessment, release and support for the entire spine including sensory reeducation exercises for scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis.
