Spinal Asymmetry Essentials – Level 1

Description

This course is a bundle offering the best of self -study in combination with live interactive sessions. It consists of 2 parts: Part 1 Distance learning and Part 2 Live Zoom Interactive Sessions.

1. Part 1 consists of pre-recorded lectures and reading in preparation for the live sessions, while allowing additional access for review time after the live sessions. Spinal Asymmetry as a medical diagnosis affects about 6 million people in the US. Beyond that figure, many go undiagnosed until injury or pregnancy occurs. Aging spinal asymmetry progresses a little over a degree per year. Cases of low back pain and female pelvic pain are a popular cause of concern. Do you need to know more about spinal asymmetry and scoliosis? Movement educators fill a gap between medical care and fitness, where they assume a part of the overall village of care to address larger functional and quality of life issues. Clients with asymmetries have directional biases, fascial restrictions, and compensatory patterns due to positioning in utero, handedness, direction preference, eye dominance and life experiences, that take time to reveal, and re-pattern.
2. Part 2 of Spinal Asymmetry and Scoliosis Essentials delves into real-time action where participants sample and begin to discover their own individual Scolio-cues, and how to implement pelvic imbalance solutions. Going through the steps of the Spinal Asymmetry Mantra (identify the pattern, break up the pattern, re-direct the pattern, correct the pattern and go beyond the pattern) teachers begin to learn a framework to build confidence, efficiency and effectiveness for their clients with Spinal Asymmetry and Scoliosis.

Learn the differences between functional versus structural scoliosis, and their varying causes. Train your eye to the individual differences each client uniquely owns, their “scolio-cues” for correctives. Learn functional assessment techniques that help to direct intervention for the biomechanical implications of curvature not only at the separate spinal curves but throughout the whole body.  Create a profile to help you and your client better understand their present postures and strategies. It’s recommended that students have The Activ-Wedge® and Dr. Martin’s new book, Spinal Asymmetry and Scoliosis: Movement and Function Solutions for the Spine, Ribcage, and Pelvis (2018, Handspring Publishers).  If you don’t already have these, please look for the links below.  Note that these are separate purchases and not included in the course cost.
