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.

Ronda T

This is a course that would benefit all Pilates instructors.

Valuable takeaway:

1) You need to be sure to be activating the correct muscles in order to increase length in the antagonist.
2) More for myself as I’m an LMT, but occasionally I advise clients on these things to help them when they aren’t getting desired body results.
3) It is relevant to massage vs. yoga (although I understand it is meant mostly for yoga instructions.
4) It has been beneficial to understanding the way the muscles work more efficiently.

Course drove home role of nervous system in learning new patterns of movement.

Patterning and how things I learned from my first yoga teacher (10+ years ago) are still with me today, including some alignment issues and how the discomfort (and some injuries) have resulted over time. In many cases, I can tell now that recurring injuries around my QL are from the mis-alignment.

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

Anna C

I liked how I can apply this immediately to my yoga students.

Laura T

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.

That there were 8 different principles to movement. I didn’t realize that there were so many more parts to it than just moving the muscles and joints

Carliann S

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.
