Posture Assessment & Counter-strain
Posture Assessment: How to identify main postural disorders such as lordosis, kyphosis and scoliosis through standing evaluation and examining movement.
Treatment: We will explore a very different and gentle approach to the body known as counter-strain technique, using the body’s own levers to take an area out of pain. These techniques will be combined with trigger point work, stretches and mobilizations to treat common postural complaints including low back pain, rounded shoulders, restriction in neck movement and tension head-aches.
Sciatica Assessment & Muscle Energy Techniques
Sciatica: How to properly assess and treat the different forms of this common and yet often misunderstood condition.
Muscles Energy Techniques: A stretching system used by physios and sports therapists to treat both chronic and acute muscle shortening. We will assess and treat key muscles including hamstrings, psoas, quadratus lumborum, trapezius and the pectorals; looking at their contribution to postural and muscle disorders.
