Workshop Format:
The workshop is split into equal time on 1) lecture/presentation, 2) BodyReading™ and postural analysis, and 3) fascial plane and myofascial plane techniques from Tom’s KMI Structural Integration and movement education library.
This course helps you:
- BodyRead your client’s postural and movement patterns with greater accuracy and integration
- Gain access to effective treatment strategies for resolving postural distortions, which may occur some distance from the site of pain or limitation
- Enable you to make distinct changes in your clients’ structure in a few short moves
Course Objectives:
- Understand basic properties and connected nature of fascia, and tensegrity applied to fascia and human movement.
- A succinct and relevant introduction to geometry/character of the connective tissue, and the topology of fascial planes
- Be able to identify and trace the 6 major and 6 supplemental fascial meridians along which movement, tension, and postural distortion travel
- Be able to BodyRead™ postural patterns based on analysis of Anatomy Trains lines
- Apply knowledge to construct a bodywork session appropriate for the specific pattern of each client
- This course also serves as a prerequisite for entry in the KMI 500-hour Certification Training
Learning Environment:
- Illustrated lecture
- Open inquiry atmosphere; questions encouraged; vitality and humor welcome
- Participants will exchange and practice, on one another, BodyReading (visual assessment) under supervised analysis of instructor and assistants while learning manual therapy techniques
Movement Therapists:
Anatomy Trains workshops are frequently modified for particular audiences, such as yoga or Pilates, and these variations would emphasize the movement implications of these continuities rather than hands-on technique. Please be certain that you are enrolled in the proper format of Anatomy Trains to fit your background and experience.
