Workshops at Elements in Motion

The Shoulder Girdle: Stability & Function, Saturday July 21, 10:00-12:00

Explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the shoulder girdle and discuss some of the interruptions that can occur and exercise progressions to restore optimal function in this lecture/demo. First, the available ROM and typical movement patterns of the shoulder girdle are broken down analyzing scapular movement, humeral movement and relevant muscular action. Next, address some common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns. And finally, discover exercise progressions to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning as well as shoulder girdle exercises that can challenge and prepare for specific activities and enhance performance.

Lumbo-Pelvic Region: Stability & Function, Saturday July 21, 12:15-2:15

This lecture/demo explores the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the lumbo-pelvic region, some of the dysfunctions that can occur and exercise progressions to restore optimal function, First, the available movements and functioning of the lumbo-pelvic region are explored considering the lumbar, the pelvis, the hip and surrounding musculature. Common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns and postures are addressed. Finally, exercise progressions to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning are outlined, as well as exercises to challenge and promote optimal execution, prepare for specific activities and enhance performance.

The Knee: Stability & Function, Saturday July 21, 2:30-4:30

The knee is a complex structure which can experience any number of injuries or conditions that interrupt normal functioning. This lecture/demo explores the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the knee, some of the dysfunctions that can occur and exercise progressions to restore normal movements. After looking at the available movements and functioning of the knee, common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns will be addressed.  Exercise progressions to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning will be presented. Designed to prepare the body for specific activities and enhance performance, these exercises can challenge and promote optimal functioning.
