Massage to Motion; Everyday Patterns & Solutions - 3hrs

On a daily basis do you question what you are doing and whether it is working? Are there times you apply an exercise but it doesn't give you the result you were expecting? This is exactly what the majority of practitioner's do including me!

Recent times have seen a major breakthrough in how we define functional anatomy and movement patterns. This has led to a far different and more effective method of creating "change" in the body. Through great researchers like Thomas Myers and Steven Levin we have been exposed to findings that now challenge existing science. Science that has dictated how we condition and train the body!

Newton's or Borelli's Law of levers has big questions about its application and relevance in human movement…we are in fact a Biological system. A Biological system is low energy consuming, open system, constructed with soft, viscoelastic materials that behave nonlinearly.

WOW…now if that didn't blow your mind, then come and see the science and experience how we can more effectively change the body with simplistic strategies and a better understanding of the fascia…that connects all!!

Wouldn't you like to be more effective with your results for your clients and yourself?
