An Evidence-informed Fascia-focused Essentials Course that Offers the Best Practice Solutions Combining Physiotherapy with Pilates
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.
Essentials Level 1 covers the patho-mechanics, how the biomechanics of abnormal anatomy differs from expected anatomy, as well as the pathophysiology of fascial compensations and confounding bone issues involving curve classification, spinal degeneration and osteoporosis. Create a client profile through assessments determining structural versus functional asymmetry. Learn to apply a framework of the 3 –E strategy of ergonomics, exercise and emotion tailoring your work for youth or adults.
