Equine Fascia Network Anatomy Part Il (Online)
Susan Smith
ONLINE
In this 5-part online course we pick up where we left off in Equine Fascia Network Anatomy Part I - and review superficial lines as well as those that interact with the additional lines that may include spirals, lateral movement and front limb lines.
Part II continues to take an Ortho-Bionomy approach to working with the fascia by fostering self-awareness and deeper understanding in the equine body and which way the body tissue wants to move. While fascia does indeed envelop almost every part of the body with its binding, strengthening, connecting and separating web, it also can hold pain or be worked with to relieve pain.
In working with the fascial network either directly or simply increasing our awareness of it through Equine Ortho-Bionomy, we can bring greater functionality to the body system. This course will cover our current understanding of fascia, the fascial webbing that follows the grain of the body's connective tissue fabric, which forms traceable "meridians" of myofascia. When muscles contract inside this webbing they transmit a force toward resilient stability or toward chronic tension.
Beyond origin and insertion which is a popular way of viewing muscles, most muscles have a number of very relevant soft-tissue attachments. In this class, we will work with fascia that enables: Rotation of the spine Lateral movement Spinal flexion and extension Adduction and Abduction Connection to common structures We will look at fascial relationships and how to work with them through Equine Ortho-Bionomy.
For those who wish to take both parts, they can take $50 of the total for both courses. Please contact the instructor about this.
