I am offering a workshop this Sat, May 9th, 3-5 PM at Movements Afoot, that addresses scoliosis and other issues like stiffness or chronic pain of the torso. I have had success with my own scoliosis with these techniques, and with my clients, both functionally and even structurally (as in a locked down shoulder rising up, or a hiked up hip settling down!) The most dramatic changes have been through Hanna's hands on techniques available in a private session. However, in the Hanna somatic movement workshops, many people report increased mobility, less pain, tightness, and they can continue the process at home. Happy to talk more about this resource, and answer questions, but the way to really learn it is in a group or private setting. look forward to sharing it with you! Laura M.

]]> Comment on 3-D Breath- the Diaphragm and the Core by Boyd Smith http://movementsafootblog.com/2008/12/01/3-d-breath-the-diaphragm-and-the-core/#comment-3948 Boyd Smith Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:43:01 +0000 http://moveaddicts.wordpress.com/?p=316#comment-3948 Thanks for the information! I have discovered through personal investigation, and use of compiled training techiniques from various sports (weightlifting, gymnastics/flexibility/contortion, springboard diving, dancing/ballet, track & field, volleybal, tennis, martial arts,... even training exercises for the eyes),... that PROPER BREATHING is imperative! The key is 'engaging' the all of the core muscles for controlled constriction during exhalation. This assists the diaphram, as well as improves it's 'range of motion'. Proper breathing(I think it can be called 3d) restores 'elaticity' to the diaphram, as well as strengthening/conditioning the core muscles (even the deep muscles in the hips,..iliopsoas). In combination/cooperation with various twisting and stretching movements, this (controlled constriction of core during exhalation) has improved movement, range, and vitality of my body!
