This video course from Anatomy Trains and Tom Myers explores developmental movement with illustrated lecture and guided movement sequences.
Tom Myers – Spiraling into Alignment
Based on Tom’s studies with Moshe Feldenkrais and 40+ years of experience with various movement modalities, anatomy, and manual therapy, this 2.5 hour program will guide you (and help you guide your clients) through assessment, sequencing options, effective cueing, technique demonstrations, and effective biomechanics, all with the intention of bringing greater ease and alignment to the body through movement. Includes modifications and special cases, such as pregnancy.
Hour One:
Developmental Movement: sensing + doing = meaning
Spiraling into Alignment regressed, guided movement sequence starting from standing
Spiraling into Alignment review, guided movement sequence starting from lying down
Options for Spiraling into Alignment
Exercise: Following the eyes
Hour Two:
Modifications for spiraling into alignment sequences
Assessments: Trust exercise with client, both standing
Technique demonstration: extension, rotation, translation
Sequencing options with clients
Top down movement
What to look for in assessments
Hour Three:
Effective cueing for moving bodies – demonstration
Effective cueing from the floor, or from a seat
Effective cueing with client, demonstrating push vs. pull
Biomechanics: hinge, rotate, hinge, rotate
Effective biomechanics from sitting – demonstration of special cases: pregnant client moving from sitting to standing
Effective biomechanics moving clients from a massage table or bed
