Structural Dynamics: Thoracics, Abdominals, Chest & Shoulder

24 CE Contact Hours

Class description:

Structural Dynamics explores the fascial body on a structural and functional level. Learning the most comprehensive myofascial release techniques combined with concepts of functional biomechanics allows the practitioner to better understand and release chronic pain and structural patterns as well as restoring function and posture.

This course uses the Structural Dynamics approach to explore the dynamics of the thoracic spine, abdominals, and chest. A lack of thoracic mobility, particularly extension, is one of the chronic structural/functional issue of our time. It is often a symptom of poor posture and poor training/workouts and causes restricted function throughout the body. In this course, we’ll rework our understanding of “core” stability and posture to help you and your clients experience more dynamic, liberated, upright posture that allows for full range of motion, full breath, and dynamic stability. Discover why and how to correct thoracic immobility that is often the root cause of shoulder, hip, elbow, lower back, and neck pain syndromes as well as limited sports performance and injuries.

We utilize embodied anatomical study, functional movement, and hands on functional and myofascial release to help the therapist fully understand and work with the functional and structural dynamics of the body. Students learn how to re-educate and release the muscles and fascia that govern thoracic mobility and stability. Learn functional fascial releases to efficiently and effectively restore function and eliminate pain and tension.

Supplies needed for class: Massage tables, one per two students if possible. Also loose fitting clothing and a towel or sheet for some draping as well. No lubrication will be needed.

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR PERFUME, COLOGNE OR ESSENTIAL OILS TO CLASS.
