We have just one course left in our Pumping Series and it's an important one! March 13 - 15, 2020 in NYC we complete our pumping series with the trunk and pelvi...s course, building upon our understanding of the relational anatomy and tensegrity biomechanics learned in lower and upper limb as it relates to the trunk and pelvis. . . During our first course on the lower limbs we discussed the classic Ankle sprain of the ATFL, and the consequences it can have ascending up the chain to the pelvis. We learned to effectively treat this simple classic sprain by not only focusing on the area of injury, but to follow the links to the knee, where we learned to address the lateral collateral ligament of the knee, the barkow ligament, the bicep femoris , Flabella-fibula ligament, and now we will complete our understanding of the relational anatomy and biomechanics as it pertains to the trunk and pelvis. When left untreated, it will inevitably have consequences such as sacroiliac pain and lower back pain. It is fundamental to understand how the pelvis affects and is affected by the upper and lower limbs, and will undoubtedly elevate the effectiveness of your treatments and value of your practice within your community. . . $1,350 Regular price Due 2/15/20 $1,250 Early Bird price ENDS 2/1/20 $750 Retake price Due 2/15/20 www.SomaEducationalGroup.com Visit SomaeducatiomalGroup.com for more info or to register!

Great overview of #ELDOA Fitness Routine.

Un peu d’histoire ... C’est en France , à la fin des années 1970 que Guy VOYER D.O., fondateur de la méthode E.L.D.O.A., élabore sa propre technique d’exerci...ces thérapeutiques, basée sur les techniques de GDS, Kabat, Mezière, etc., afin d’aider à soulager les MAUX reliés à la colonne vertébrale . Guy VOYER D.O. met alors à l’épreuve le fruit de sa découverte et de ses expériences auprès d’une centaine de clients et observe une nette amélioration de l’ensemble de leurs symptômes. Des gens venus consulter pour un mal de cou ou de dos décrivent un amélioration notable de leur digestion, un sommeil plus profond et réparateur, une diminution des douleurs menstruelles, une diminution des ronflements, etc. . La méthode E.L.D.O.A. s’est développée selon le principe que le corps entier est interrelié. Dans sa globalité, le corps est un ensemble de systèmes interactifs et ses symptômes doivent en êtres abordés ainsi, quelle que soit l’approche thérapeutique. La méthode E.L.D.O.A. travaille avec une grande précision anatomique et s’intègre parfaitement à toute démarche thérapeutique. A little history It was in France in the late 1970s that Guy VOYER DO, founder of the ELDOA method, developed his own technique of therapeutic exercises, based on the techniques of GDS, Kabat, Mezière, etc., to help to relieve the PAIN related to the spine. Guy VOYER D.O. then tested the fruit of his discovery and his experiences with a hundreds of customers and observed a clear improvement in all of their symptoms. People who came to see him for a sore neck or back describe a noticeable improvement in their digestion, a deeper and more restful sleep, a decrease in menstrual pains, a decrease in snoring, etc. . E.L.D.O.A. Was developed on the principle that the whole body is interrelated. In its entirety, the body is a set of interactive systems and its symptoms must be addressed with the same idea, regardless of the therapeutic approach. E.L.D.O.A. works with great anatomical precision and integrates perfectly with any therapeutic approach. . . #eldoa #eldoaeveryday #history #healthylifestyle #wellness #sante #osteopathy #france #therapeuticexercise #movement #backpain

Great overview of Myofascial Stretching and ELDOA

http://www.evolutionsinstitute.com/

DISCOVERING ELDOA: The corrective technique was created by French Osteopath, Dr. Guy Voyer. ELDOA is a French acronym that translates to English meaning L.O. A....D.S. (Longintudinal Osteo-Articular Decoaptation Stretches). It is a method of exercise that creates space and improves the function of specific joints while also strengthening the postural muscles that support the spine. ELDOA exercises have been shown to significantly relieve back, neck and chronic joint pain, alleviate nerve and disc compression, promote flexibility, strong posture, athletic performance and metabolic/hormonal balance. ELDOA will be taught in our Wellness Studio under the direction of Lexi Kusturiss.

ELDOA METHOD made it onto 3News and a blip of one news! Recognize MFS Obturator Internus? :) Helping Pro Basketball team NZ Breakers with a recovery session today.

ELDOA METHOD Is Your Permanent Solution for Healing and Preventing "Text Neck" For ALL AGES "Text Neck" is an absolute pain in the neck... literally. Lots of ar...ticles are coming out calling this a new epidemic, but really it's just a trendy new way of describing the long known spinal alignment issue called "forward head posture". Prior to today's heavy use of smart phones and ipads, laptops were the accused culprits of this condition, before that was computers, as well as heavy back packs, driving and slouching on the couch. As you can see... this problem has been around for a long time. Symptoms from "Text Neck" includes neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, dowager's hump, rotator cuff damage, frozen shoulder, and more. The real issue is that this inevitable process of spinal degeneration which only populations over the age of 50 would have to be concerned with is now occurring to people of all ages including kids! Truthfully, this is a problem that is never going to go away but what you do about it can make a huge difference in the health of your spine for the rest of your life. How to Fix It 1. Awareness - First and foremost, consciousness of your posture throughout the day is the most important part of correcting "Text Neck". Holding your devices up in line with the horizon and elbows in support along with an ergonomically correct working station is essential. 2. Strength - Knowing that you should have better posture is a big part, however, being strong enough to hold it throughout the day, every day, is another story. Training the muscles of your upper body that are responsible for supporting the weight and position of your structure will not only help correctly balance your posture but will help you avoid injuries and get rid of painful trigger points. 3. Movement/Mobility - Sitting for long durations contributes to atrophy, stiffness and the switching off of the stabilizers of your joints. Making a habit of getting up and moving throughout the day as well as moving joints around total ranges will help maintain and improve your Range of Motion. In the ELDOA METHOD Classes, we focus strongly on building awareness of your ideal alignment, effectively strengthen your postural muscles and regulate the tensions throughout your spine and shoulder girdle. If you are someone experiencing neck and shoulder pain, you can learn tried and proven ELDOA and Myofascial Stretches that will directly target the correction of "Text Neck". For example the ELDOA exercise for T6T7 is a perfect combination of these 3 necessities for fixing "Text Neck" that only takes a total of 2 minutes to perform with fast results when added to your weekly routine!

What is "Articular Pumping"? Great video from our friend Dan Hellman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU-v4A3wmFU

Why Foam Rolling Is Not Myofascial Stretching. Please don't panic and get defensive. This video is NOT telling you to throw away your foam rollers. However, after watching this video, you will clearly see that foam rolling does not stretch or release the fascia. Dr. Voyer is the world leader in the treatment of fascia. Fascia will be one of the main topics during the courses he will be running in February and is the missing link to injury rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnYdzaoMyQ8

Guy's work on fascia and how the body works is very different to the way a lot of people look at the body. Guy's work is widely based off of the tensegrity model of anatomy and biomechanics. Thomas Myers does a nice job explaining it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzgxYpDyO0M

Stand up straight!

"Imagine carrying an 8-year-old around your neck several hours per day."

FASCIA AND WHY FOAM ROLLING ONLY BARELY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE! Myofascial Release has become a popular term for the health industry in recent years. There are many types of massage therapies used but often it is packaged and sold in the form of a simple foam roller or tennis balls taped together to encourage "self" myofascial release. Foam rolling does have a place in therapy and is a useful tool for alleviating trigger points. But that's as far as it goes When you recognize ...the complexity of the fascia and it's continuum throughout the whole body not only for it's role in movement but also for it's involvement in the regeneration and healing of all cells by carrying out chemical processes to deliver nutrition and hormones within the tissues... myofascial release involves much more than just creating a compression on the skin surface. In fact, there is a much larger influence on improving the quality of the fascia and that's by bringing balance to the tensegrity model in which our bodies work. This is best achieved through the facilitation of the neurological system while creating tensions throughout the fascial chains in order to improve the fascia's ability to slide and respond both superficially and at the deeper levels. This is where ELDOAs and Myofascial Stretches are most successful in the treatment of the fascia. These self normalization techniques restore the functionality as well as the quality of this omnidirectional matrix. If you have 30 min... or even just 5... it's worthwhile to watch this video. Though very involved, it provides an incredible up close look at the fascia and how it works in all its complexity. See more
