PROPRIOCEPTION

  • The physiology that controls how our joints move, or articulate, depends on a number of mechanisms in the tendons, ligaments and surrounding tissue. It is important to train these specific mechanisms in order to increase or revive control of a joint. This process is called Specific Proprioception Training and can be used in the healing process following a sprain or to treat arthrosis as an example.

  • These exercises are not about the joint itself, but the collective group of mechanisms surrounding it. Specific Proprioception Training is a major factor in the road to recovery from injury as well as reaching maximum performance potential.

  • “This work must be very precise. Because it is not the joint that is trained as a whole but a specific ligament or part of the capsule within that joint.”

  • You will learn hundreds of exercises that may be used throughout the body for this proprioceptive work applied to specific ligaments.

  • The missing link in the road to recovery and rehab

  • 50+ exercises

AWARENESS

  • How can an articulation be trained, a muscle strengthened, or a posture corrected, if the brain does not know the area being treated? How does a spine remain straight, if the feeling of being straight is skewed?

  • The cortex must be trained to become acquainted with and recognize every area of the body. A strict methodology involving four progression factors is indispensable to really becoming familiar with the pelvis; the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine; and the various diaphragms.

  • You will learn how to apply the very important and often neglected aspect of awareness in your daily practice and for your clients.
