WHAT IS BALANSIT:

The Balansit is a dynamic and active sitting device, engineered to provide effortless, natural posture in Sitting, and can also be used as an assistive device in Exercise. The Balansit can also be used Kneeling, Side Lying and Prone. The unique design of the device facilitates instability in 2 planes, encouraging the user to maintain control of the pelvis in these planes, whilst sitting, kneeling, prone or side-lying. It can be used to perform Pilates Mat Exercises, and can be used on Pilates and Exercise Equipment to provide feedback to the user whilst moving. Finally its unique multi-planar instability allows it to be used in Functional Pelvic Assessment.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  

Learn how an unstable device like the Balansit can be used to encourage the user to control the pelvis in particular planes while moving. This course will explore how using a device like the Balansit can facilitate overall improvement in Functional Movement. This course will also take traditional Pilates exercises, both Mat and Apparatus and apply them to the Balansit During this course, participants will explore the concept of creating stability through improving mobility, as well as, the role that Disassociation plays in enhancing stability training. Balance Training will be utilised as a means to effectively enhance motor learning and improved performance. Techniques such as Sequential Training, Proper Queuing, Regression/Progression, as well as an understanding of the concept of Tolerance and Effective Loading will be provided as a means to assist instructors in teaching complex multi-plane movements. The “Four Pillars of Movement” and their relationship to efficient performance will be the corner stone to teaching Functional Movement. Faulty or inefficient Movement Patterns will be identified in regards to postural type. Understand the Anatomy of the Pelvis, understand the Pelvic Rings. Learn to Functionally Assess the Pelvis, and understand how the relationship between the Pelvis and Femurs can affect function. Assess Motor Control, Stability and Endurance of the Pelvis. These will be the basis of all exercises in the Balansit Course. Therefore, the focus of the exercises presented will be on Motor Control, Disassociation and Eccentric Activation for Greater Strength and Control through Low Threshold, Slow Movement Training. Students will also be given information for the structure, as well as, the queuing techniques to facilitate a group Balansit class. This course will also start to identify Direct Clinical Deficiencies, such as Control of the Pelvis, Gait Pattern Dysfunction, 3 D Sling Deficiencies and Compromised Function leading to Pelvic Compensation.  Detailed and Specific Exercises that address the Correction of these deficiencies will be covered.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:  Participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate correct set up, safety and care of the Balansit

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course shows movement professionals and practitioners how to identify and change multiple functional domains in the body using task based, kinaesthetic intelligence upregulating, movement based interventions. This course will build on the foundation of The Oov Fundamentals Course and empower practitioners to assess clients and patients in a complete, whole body manner quickly and safely.

This course explains and provides interventions for an Efferent and an Afferent patient and presentation.

Specifically, this course will address the central organisational structures, the peripheral biomechanics and more importantly, their relationship to one another, what needs addressing first for the unique patient/client in front of the practitioner at that time and how to go about making that change.

This course explains the inextricable link between the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), Respiratory mechanics, axial kinaesthetic awareness and inflammatory patterns in the body and brain.

This course includes:

1. A unique philosophical framework for observing the human form.
2. Original diagnostic tests to guide practitioners down a thoughtful path in applying their pre-existing skill set, or the skill set offered and delivered in this course and other courses from OOV Education.

3. A new philosophy based Method to increase information to the body.
4. A new movement gamut and the ability to interpret these movements within the framework of the philosophy provided.

5. A clear and meaningful “map” from the tests/movements to the appropriate interventions to change the body quickly, safely and intelligently.

6. A definition of Hardware vs Software Efferent presentations.
7. An easy to follow general clearance test (as used in Level 2) with accompanying diagnostic tests for: V.O.R (Vestibular Ocular Reflex), The A.O (Atlanto-Occipital joint), Common spinal pathologies (Disc, Spondylolisthesis etc). The organisation of the Costals and lobes of the Diaphragm, the axial loading accuracy of the foot and ankle, the relationship between all the above and the force closure capabilities addressed in earlier course/s.
8. Solutions and movements to change the information ascertained in the above tests.

COURSE OBJECTIVES: Participants will be able to:

1. Comprehend the body in a new philosophical paradigm – Perfection vs Disfunction.
2. Understand Bio-tensegrity and root of its manifestation: Information and Perception.
3. Understand Allostasis and Allostatic Load, Homeostasis and Form and Force Closure.
4. Demonstrate correct set up, safety and care of the Oov.
5. Demonstrate knowledge, implementation and pertinence of a Clearance Strategy Screen (Vertical Loading).
6. Understand and define Afferent vs Efferent influences.
7. Understand how Balancing on the Oov can be a useful tool to identify AFFERENT vs EFFERENT strategic parameters and suitably describe the significance of that at a diagnostic, intervention and medico-legal level.
8. Implement and INTERPRET a range of movement assessment screens.
9. Use the assessments to thoughtfully guide their direction of intervention on the patient/client.
10. Understand a new definition of Dis-function.
11. Demonstrate a complex understanding of: kinematic pairs and chains, Superficial chain preferences and Myo-fascial slings.
