The Universal Geometry of Therapeutic Alignment
Venue: Be One Collective, 1651 John Ward Rd Southwest, Marietta, GA
2-Day Bowspring Weekend Workshop — 3 classes – 7 hours total
*
The Bowspring method is cutting edge biomechanical alignment for optimal therapeutic effect, functional movement, and mind-body well-being.
This 2-day Bowspring workshop is for anyone who needs therapeutic help with any aches and or, chronic injury, or with decreased mobility and low vitality. Also, the Bowspring method teaches other alternative therapists how to help others using specific bodywork techniques and basic functional exercises, utilizing the curvy, dynamically balanced alignment of the Bowspring.
Everyone will learn how to avoid future injuries, and to have optimal functional movement during their daily activities – walking, standing, sitting. By utilizing basic principles inherent in the universal geometry of the body, anyone can have tremendous transformation in their mind-body health.
Some of the therapeutic issues which will be covered over the weekend in the following 10 key areas of the body:
- Ribcage – scoliosis
- Hands – arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Arms – tennis elbow – tendonitis
- Shoulders – rotator cuff injury
- Feet – plantar fasciitis, bunions, bone spurs
- Legs – knee issues
- Hips – joint degeneration, groin injury, psoas tightness
- Lower back – pain, SI subluxation, disk damage
- Neck – pain, cervical subluxation, disk damage
- Head – TMJ issues, headaches, vertigo
Bowspring alignment is a dynamically balanced relationship between connective tissue (muscle and fascia) and the skeleton. The balance between tension and compressive forces throughout the body – the ‘pulling’ of myofascia and the ‘pushing’ of bones — is called a “tensegrity, which creates tremendous lightness, agility, and strength for healthy everyday living.
This balanced functional alignment of the Bowspring also provides optimal therapeutic effect – By balancing joints, increasing circulation and creating more hydraulic effect in the joints, degeneration can be stopped, and the natural healing forces of the body can have a chance to regenerate damaged tissue. The tensegrity form of the Bowspring also strengthens the core muscles and enhances standing balance and coordination, significantly reducing risks of falls and injuries.
Everyone will learn about their own unique postural tendencies and unconscious habits to close and misalign. We look at the instinctually programmed postural defaults in the 10 key areas of the human mind-body. Once you see your regular unconscious misalignment, you can then choose to shift it toward the universal geometry inherent in all of our embodiments.
This 7-hour workshop will be immediately applicable for oneself and family members, and especially useful for chiropractors, osteopaths, kinesiologists, massage therapists, bodyworks, and physical therapists.
