During the masterclass I will take you on a fascinating journey of enlightenment, teaching you to recognize pain and dysfunctional patterns that can arise from dysfunctions found within the gluteal & psoas muscles. Addressing questions such as:– Why do the gluteals & psoas muscles potentially cause pain and dysfunction in distant sites of the body?– How does the gait pattern contribute to pain and dysfunction?– How can the application of gluteal-psoas-specific Muscle Energy Techniques aid full-body well-being?In addition, I’ll be providing step-by-step techniques to identify and correct a number of impaired patterns as well as functional gluteal exercises that promote recovery.Is it for You?The advanced nature of the course content requires you to have a high standard of both theoretical and practical knowledge.
