    Competitive, or Collective..?

    Competitive, or Collective..?

    Competitive versus Collective – this is such an important theme in the personal and the professional field – especially in bodywork and movement therapy. Exploring these ideas can be so helpful in expanding our awareness of other modalities, and enhancing the actual work we do!

    In this episode Joanne Avison considers how we can sometimes be in competition with ourselves – and how it can work to give ourselves the opportunity to “collect” a broader base of information and grow with it...

    This theme, of the power of the collective, is deep to Cynthia Allen’s ethos in the upcoming Move Better Feel Better Summit this year, where Joanne will be speaking on Sunday 5th May. It's all online and FREE to join and receive this collective wisdom, so click below to find out all about it!

    Cynthia Allen: The kind of woman the world needs right now!

    Cynthia Allen: The kind of woman the world needs right now!

    The Dalai Lama is reported to have said:  “the world will be saved by the Western Woman.” Cynthia Allen is the kind of woman I think of when I remember that. So in this episode, it really is my pleasure to talk to her, to share ideas with her and to listen to her speak from her vast experience and relentless focus on making a difference in the world.
    Cynthia has been working in wellness, healthcare management, and organizational consulting for over 35 years. In 2001, she became a Certified Feldenkrais® practitioner and, more recently, a Senior Trainer in Movement Intelligence. She is the creator of the Move Better, Feel Better Summits (one is upcoming!!), Your Learning Body,  and Your Better Back. Cynthia is also co-creator of Integral Human Gait theory. 
    Cynthia has written about the Feldenkrais Method, pain, and trauma, and has also conducted and published a research paper, Alternative Movement Program in Geriatric Rehabilitation, in Functional Neurology, Rehabilitation, and Ergonomics.

    Myofascial Magic: The Automagically Fabulous Pelvic Foot

    Myofascial Magic: The Automagically Fabulous Pelvic Foot

    Paul and Joanne share their experience and stories about pelvic issues, how they affect so many of us, and... how misunderstood they might be! How can we “rephrase” our understanding of the mythical “Pelvic Floor” and discover the magic of releasing the Pelvic Foot?  
    This is not a made up idea, by movement instructors who didn’t like learning anatomy! Paul talks about the key science behind this structural understanding of the human body. Effectively, you have a pelvic foot – not a pelvic floor... It’s true, and magic happens when you know that, know how to treat that and know how to move so that you can enjoy freedom from so many issues that are usually assigned to the “pelvic floor”. 
    There are many elements in Myofascial Magic that we can bring to the table (or mat or machine when we are teaching) that will automagically enhance all kinds of issues! 
    If you would like more information on the next available course, visit myofascialmagic.com and press the 'Start Now' button to watch our free training.
    You can also book an informal friendly call to chat to Joanne or Paul any time, either after you've watched the training, or simply by emailing us to say hi on info@myofascialmagic.com!

    Myofascial Magic: Shoulder Shrugs and Bugs

    Myofascial Magic: Shoulder Shrugs and Bugs

    Shoulders are such an expressive part of us! A shrug can replace a thousand words, right? Do you, or any of your clients, experience shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, aching, stiffness or just limited range of motion in this amazing, if complex, “joint”?
    In this episode Paul and Joanne share some delightful stories about shoulders. What do you gain from training them? How can you avoid straining them? What are the many elements in Myofascial Magic that we can bring to the table (or mat or machine, when we are teaching) that will automagically enhance working with shoulders?

    There are some really valuable points in this fascinating discussion.

    If you'd like more information on the next available Myofascial Magic In Action course, you can watch our free webinar here or contact us on info@myofascialmagic.com to book a free informal discovery chat with Paul or Joanne. We always love hearing from you!

    John Sharkey: Why the *fascia* should you care about the difference between Continuity and Contiguity?

    John Sharkey: Why the *fascia* should you care about the difference between Continuity and Contiguity?

    This episode covers the importance of fascia and how John Sharkey regards it as a process, rather than an object. It explains why some of us have difficulty defining fascia, or describing its paradigm-shifting significance to our colleagues and clients, friends and family. John is such a fabulous story teller and so well informed that you can literally collect the gems as we romp through this discussion covering a number of topics from surgery and dissection to crystal healing and consciousness!!
    Interviewing John is always a delight and you can enjoy other episodes with him in previous series of this podcast too.
    For further information on Human Dissection Programmes under John’s brilliant supervision, please you can enquire at https://ntc.ie/course/dissection-italy/
