Walking (Gait) for Wild Human Potential
with Cynthia Allen, GCFP, BFLT/T and Carol Montgomery, MSPT, GCFP, BFLT/T

don't let the jargon throw you for a loop-- this workshop is valuable to virtually anyone that would like to improve their health and wellbeing 

Walking, also known as Gait, is more than just a functional outcome, can be an unsurpassed quality of life assessment tool. This course advances beyond the traditional study of characteristics found in the stance and swing phases of walking.  Using Integral Human Gait Theory™, we will explore a comprehensive map that far exceeds the current understanding in physical medicine, rehabilitation and sport training. At the heart of the human experience, the “how” of walking shapes physical comfort, security, emotional well-being and happiness. 

Using the sensory learning platforms of the Feldenkrais Method®, Bones For Life® and Somatic Functional Mobilization™ we explore the functional relationship between peripheral and spinal joints and their unique movement patterns. We will study the interplay of pressure and alignment through ground reaction forces to answer these questions:  What impact does gait have on neck, shoulder and upper/lower back health? Why is gait so important in human health and relieving chronic pain patterns? Why walking is beneficial, only  if it is balanced.  In what ways does gait resonate with the rhythms of the body?

Days are sequential but you can choose day one only or the entire workshop. CEUs provided according to days attended. Most details on the objectives/agenda for each day will be posted in the near future.

Fee: Day 1 $195-($175 early); Days 1 and 2-$285 ($260 early); Day 1, 2, and 3 $385-($360 early)
