The Shoulder Revolution – Good Function is Movement w. Lesley A. Powell

The Shoulder Revolution

February and March I am going to dive deeper into the function of the shoulder.

The shoulder girdle has to be dynamic and strong at the same time.  Strength does not mean locking or fixing down the scapula.  We first are going to explore the bone rhythms of the shoulder girdle.  Healthy scapular humeral rhythm is the precursor to great function of your arms and core.  

Teaching about the movement of the bones is an excellent way to learn about correct phrasing of bones and muscles.  March we will dive into enhancing muscular connections.

Anatomy Dances :
Bartenieff Fundamentalstm: Hand – Scapula Relationship and its connection to the core.

Bartenieff Fundamental™ Hand -Scapula relationship addresses the intricate timings of the shoulder girdle with the phrasing of the torso.  This workshop will explore the anatomy and mechanics of the hand-scapula relationship and its proper function to the torso.

Objectives

  • What is stabilization of shoulder: its myths and facts
  • Understand anatomy of Hand scapula relationship
  • Scapular humeral rhythm
  • How the improved shoulder function enhances the core.

Anatomy Dances: Dynamic Stability is an new Call Core to Arms

This workshop goes deeper into shoulder mechanics.  Open and closed chains movements require different coordination of the shoulder girdle and core.  How is your plank pose different and/or the same from a arm circle in open space.  Dynamic stability of the shoulder girdle is a dance with the hand, scapula and the torso.  Coordination is key for correct mobility and strength.   Past cues really have locked down the movements of the scapula and the torso.  Myths of shoulder stability are creating more problems.  In this workshop we will learn new ways to train the nervous system about new connections.

Objectives:

  • Anatomy of the shoulder girdle
  • Muscular connection of shoulder girdle and torso
  • Coordination of hand – scapula to the head – tail connection
  • Closed chain vs open chain
