How can we change a hard and rigid rib cage into a softer and more flexible thoracic basket? How to deal with ankylosing spondylitis, with chronic head forward posture, or with a sunken and curved in chest? Any new insights on how to open the common flatness below the dowagers hump between the shoulder blades? We will explore these questions with lots of practical tools and clinical information. These will be based on fascial anatomy, creative body positioning and active client micromovement participation.
Yet most of the excitement for this workshop comes from its main focus on the enigmatic condition of idiopathic scoliosis. Starting with an evidence based review on the current understanding of the contributing histological, neurological and myofascial/biomechanical factors, as well as involved psychosocial dynamics, Robert will share his large tool kit for working successfully with this fascinating condition. Good chance that you'll be making scoliosis your most favourite client speciality after this workshop, just as it has been for Robert during the last decade.
