4/1/23 Zoom Class 3: Embracing Our Unity, Our Wholeness: Suboccipitals, Pel Floor, Low Back, Int Obl

Our overall theme, "our wholeness and the unity of our soma," continues for this year. This class focuses on a few specific areas which then get re-integrated back into our new restored, coordinated whole. The areas we focused on were: the suboccipital muscles, pelvic floor, low back, the internal obliques, and internal shoulder rotation. In my clinical experience many of the movements we do on the floor are not adequately translated into upright movement, standing and walking. Therefore, we did a number of movements in standing so that participants could more clearly understand how to translate and practice related floor and standing movements. We even learned a standing stability test, called the "Bounce Test" as conceived by Eric Franklin, creator of the Franklin Method, so we could perceive improvement in balancing and stability when standing on one leg.

Hi mam, my mom is 55 years old , she cant lift or bend her knees , can please suggest any movement, she is severe pain.

[@somaticsforyou]

Thank you for writing me. What has been the diagnosis from your mom's doctor? Has she received any physical therapy? I ask these questions to give me a better idea of what you have already done to help your mom. There is no easy answer. Knee problems relate to a number of other areas in a person's body such as her hips, feet, and spine and back at minimum. Can you give me more information about your mothers health and mobility? Thank you.
