    • 1.1. Theory
      • Introduction to Fascia and Muscle chains in movement (I could do this as a free intro video?)
      • The main reference here is the Deep Front Line (DFL) as described by the excellent work of Thomas Myers.
      • The head-to-toe and three-dimensional core
      • The diaphragm and breathing mechanics and their role in core function
      • Spinal and Lumbo-pelvic stability
      • Postural functions of the DFL
      • The implications of the DFL in movement dysfunctions
    • 1.2. Assessment strategies – includes content with a real model
      • Subjective Assessment. What leads me to suspect a problem in the DFL?
      • Posture Assessment and observations – What would make me think there is a DFL problem?
      • Breathing assessment
      • Functional assessment tricks
      • Movement assessment
    • 1.3. Corrective Principals, Proposals and tricks – real cases and exercise class

Justification

A series of online workshops containing the theoretical concepts of muscle chains and myofascial lines. The theory is bought into real life via muscle and movement assessment strategies which will help you better help your clients with non-optimal movement patterns, which often lead to, or are the cause, of painful pathology.

Regardless of whether you are a movement professional, Physiotherapist or other bodyworker you will gain key knowledge to apply immediately within your working environment. Understanding the root causes behind dysfunctional movement will make providing a solution so much easier using your pre-existing techniques and know-how.

 

Goals

  • To understand and be able to apply the basic concepts of core assessment and optimisation strategies from a muscle chains perspective.
  • To appreciate the fundamental importance of the diaphragm and breathing patterns in the optimal function of the core
  • To take-away some practical exercises and tricks to achieve core and breathing optimisation for your clients

 

Methodology

The course is divided into episodes and each one of them forms a lesson.

The lessons consist of a set of videos about the theoretical part and different videos with the practical demonstrations of the techniques.

The student will have access to the course from the date indicated and will have 18 months to complete it. To pass the training, you must watch and study all audiovisual content and pass the final exam.

The course lasts 20 hours, which correspond to the visualization of the different chapters, the study of the notes in PDF format and the completion of the exam. Therefore, the student must carry out active work at home in order to pass the training.

 

Here's an example of the lessons you'll find on campus:
