Integrates applicable contemporary science around spinal movement and pain with clinical evidence and understanding gleaned from the author\u0092s longstanding practice (as both a manual and movement therapist). It also includes further insights gained from wide ranging enquiry around spinal movement control in health and dis-ease. This includes exploration of various movement approaches \u0096 in particular Feldenkrais, Pilates and the long-term practice of yoga. The book also relates functional movement to the fascial system and the concept of biotensegrity. The book briefly examines the relationship between healthy torso structure and functional control \u0096 and the functional connections between the spine, head and proximal limb girdles \u0096 and between the nervous, muscular and fascial systems in providing joint protection, support and control \u0096 significant in the spine due to its multi-segmented nature and richly endowed neural networks. In particular it focuses upon the distilled basic movements that underpin healthy movement \u0096 the Key Axial Fundamental Patterns of control. The bulk of the book\u0092s real estate offers an informed, reasoned, practical therapeutic exercise\/movement approach aimed at directly redressing the common deficits and functional movement faults found in people with spinal dysfunction. This is a neuro-myo-fascial approach to correcting movement behaviour whereby in general, restoring control of basic natural functional movement patterns not only remedies the person\u0092s pain but also improves their general functioning and well-being. While some of these exercises may be familiar to practitioners, the suggested adjustments and fine tuning will usually not be common practice. Exercising for fitness may work counter to building healthy patterns of spinal control in some \u0096 they develop spinal pain and injuries. Hence, the book also evaluates the rationales behind commonly prescribed exercises within the various arms of both the therapeutic and movement fitness industries \u0096 for both the positive aspects they offer in providing healthy movement \u0096 and the pitfalls which may in fact compromise spinal health. This model of movement therapy for spinal health is applicable within all industry models of teaching movement \u0096 both therapeutic and those within the fitness industry including Pilates and Yoga \u0096 and the gyms \u0096 for prevention and promoting health as well as well-being of the spine in exercise programmes in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
