Here is what we will cover in Immersive Online Training- Series 1:

Week 1 - Rolling through the feet

In gait patterning, the foot rolls from heel strike to propulsion articulating each joint. Rolling through the feet requires an unlocking of the bones and a winding up as the bones come together to create a spring action for forward momentum. The adaptability of the foot is crucial to sensory feedback and proprioception for balance.

Week 2: Pelvis figure 8’s

Discover the pattern of the figure 8 in the pelvis as the source of all movement. In the Madeline Black Method, we use the figure 8 motions of the pelvis to identify the individual’s pattern, understand the how and why and address the pattern through movement for balance. 

Week 3: Ribcage influences the whole

The ribcage motion is vital to the pelvis-hip and arm-neck movements. The thorax is simple in its motions but complex on its influence on the whole body. The ribs move on the spine as well as the spine on the ribs. The myofascial slings run across, up, down and around while Thoracic mobility and movement will free up the pelvis and the shoulder. 

Week 4: Helical spine

The spine is our central channel moving in response to the sea of connective tissues it lives within. It is our spinal motions that drives our gait, and reciprocates with the legs giving the body motion in all directions. In the Madeline Black Method, working with these interplays creates dynamic changes in the body.

Week 5: Integration piece

This session will bring together the previous four sessions integrating it into your practice. We will move together incorporating all the topics, review what was learned, and experience an individual session using the techniques and movements.
