ROTATION COURSE FOR SCOLIOSIS AND SPORT
Course Overview
Scoliosis is one of the most complex postural issues. Targeted rotation is very valuable to analyse restrictions and to unfold muscular imbalances. You will learn many corrective exercises to help reduce or, at the very least stabilise scoliosis curvatures of various degrees.
We will particularly look at the affected fascial lines. Sagittal, coronal and transverse views must be taken into account. Each person presents with a different curvature and therefore totally individual movement pattern. Recognising this is the first step to successfully applied exercises for scoliosis, handedness and for any sport, where one side of the body is being over-utilised. In this course there is a high focus on detecting and alleviating faulty movement patterns.
As we get older, we settle in the sagittal movement patterns, which restricts proper circulation. Rotation is absolutely vital for healthy ageing. Flexible spine – flexible mind!
