Functional Anatomy Principles

Principles provide a framework or a guidepost to applying functional anatomy. When I collated my understanding of functional anatomy, it became clear that there were eight fundamental truths of anatomy that, if followed, led me to clarity every time.

Anatomy is an endless topic, and if you have chosen the body as your muse, you gotta keep studying!

Functional means how the body is designed to move; when the movement goes awry, movement leads to pain. As a manual practitioner, your client comes to you with pain because of how they moved or didn't move, and as a movement practitioner, you might be complicit in how they moved or didn't move, which led to pain.

Applied because knowing and implementing are both mandatory to increase your skill; we don't just talk about anatomy; we practice, we workshop it out together, and we build confidence as we go.

A new well thought out way to think about our bodies & how they work.

I was most surprised by the value and applicability of the intrinsic muscles within my modality. As a Pilates instructor, we are looking for engagement of many intrinsic muscles and the clarity from the course about them has allowed me to cue them more efficiently.

I am not a yoga instructor, but do self-practice yoga on a daily basis. I was surprised that I wasn’t always doing asanas correctly because I was often “dumping” into a pose instead of contracting the correct muscles. This was groundbreaking for me and has changed my yoga practice. I also have been able to better articulate to my clients’ anatomical ways they can help improve their posture and alleviate pain by the “stretching doesn’t exist” principle.

In breaking each principle down and why it is important for safety can be really beneficial to knowing how to best help our clients.

How much going over the against and antagonist part landed better with me with remembering some of the muscles and their actions.

I loved connecting all of the principles and creating ways to implement each one.

As yoga teachers, I see the greatest value of this class as a way to SAFELY teach asana. As the class went on, even before we reached sections around injuries and preventing them, I had flashbacks to my own student experience where teacher assists literally caused injuries. While I don’t practice with those teachers anymore, in my own classes my number one concern was preventing injuries. I feel all of the principles should be followed as an easy means to keep tabs on class sequences, and knowing how to keep our students in proper alignment. And proper alignment = safety.

The information is very useful for helping your clientele in many fields.

The primary and inter-woven and over-riding role of the nervous system to the 8 anatomy principles of movement.
