Help sooth and remediate foot, ankle, knee and outer hip pain. Discover how to utilize the side-lying position to maximize a comprehensive and 3D release of the lower extremity with over 5 hours of bodywork and movement therapies crafted to benefit both client and therapist well being. And review myofascial meridians (aka “Anatomy Trains”) and uncover lifestyle factors and simple interventions that lead to misalignment or improved functionality–from head to toe. Highlights include unlocking the key structures associated with hip and knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and chronic ankle instability, providing therapeutic interventions to restore muscle balance, and re-educating the nervous system for more harmonious movement, function, and performance.
Also included is a discussion on the “Bio-Psycho-Social” influences that either turn up or turn down the volume of pain. We then communicate how therapists can educate clients to make simple changes in their behavior and posture to feel better over time. The hands-on demonstrations are inspired by comprehensive and multimodal approaches from Sports, Medical and Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, PNF, Structural Integration, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Acupressure, Trigger Point Therapy, Thai Massage, and more. Finally, a section devoted to self-care and client at-home healing moves are offered so therapists can feel better in their own hips, knees, ankles and feet, and share these recommendations to extend the benefits between sessions.
