Supple Spine - Elastic Fascia

Service Description

Supple Spine: unlike most other mammals our spine is upright, bringing with it many consequences to optimal functioning. To fulfil its many roles our spine needs to be dynamically stable, able to adapt to and provide ever changing movement, support and protection for our internal organs and central nervous system. Made up of many parts, our spine is designed for infinite combinations of movements which if not explored regularly results in stiffening and weakness that affects our body and mind. In this workshop will look in depth at the spine and how to optimise this fundamental yet complex structure. Fascia is our internal tensegrity matrix. Made up of collagenous connective tissue, fascia forms a web throughout our body, binding, separating and organising our structures, and fluidly adapting to changes in our movement and posture. Fascia acts as our transmission system storing and communicating information across our entire body, while absorbing and disseminating forces. Keeping it in good condition is vital to our fitness and wellbeing. In the workshop we will look at how to remove tension embedded in our fascia to restore elasticity and fluidity to our posture and movement.
