Education United States

Course Times are 8am – 7pm Saturday and Sunday. This Course is a new Course and replaces the previous Oov Fundamentals Course. This new course now  addresses the order of Importance of working on Movement and Control with Patients and Clients.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will explore how using a device like the Oov can facilitate overall improvement in Functional Movement.

During this course, participants will explore how the reflexes build movement and the relevance in exploring the Developmental positions and how they relate to the areas of the brain.

Balance Training will be utilized as a means to effectively enhance motor learning and improved performance.

This course will also start to identify Direct Clinical Deficiencies, such as Axial Control of the Skeleton, Gait Pattern Dysfunction, 3 D Sling Deficiencies and Compromised Articular function.  Detailed and Specific Exercises that address the Correction of these deficiencies will be covered.

Assessments for the central axis, the axial spine, will be used to ascertain areas of interest for practitioners, and how to put clients/patients in the position for optimum change.

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.

Practitioners will be empowered to assess clients and patients in a complete, whole body manner quickly and safely.

It will also address philosophy, assessment and movement from the perspective that 3 dimensional organisms require 3 dimensional philosophies, assessment tools and interventions.

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.

Students will also be given information for the structure, as well as the queuing techniques to facilitate a group Oov class.

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. Learn to find the position called the Plasmic Spine where the body is open to change.
5. An understanding of the Brain and nervous system, and how Movement maps are developed and how to change them.
6. Covers the developmental reflexes and positions of the body at the different developmental stages and how those positions affect different parts of the brain.
7. A new movement gamut and the ability to interpret these movements within the framework of the philosophy provided.
8. A clear and meaningful “map” from the tests/movements to the appropriate interventions to change the body quickly, safely and intelligently.
9. Understand the difference between Passive and Active function in Joints and how Global Myofascial strategies affect this.
10. Diagnostic tests for the A.O (Atlanto-Occipital joint), The organisation of the Costal’s and lobes of the Diaphragm, the Psoas, Pelvis, shoulders, hips, wrists and ankles to assess which of these areas are relevant to pursue.
11. Solutions and movements to change the information ascertained in the above tests.

This Course is registered for 24 NPCP CEC’s

This course is available as a 1 Day Course for $250(Sunday only). Or as a 2 Day Course for $500(Sunday and Monday) and you will receive 16 NPCP CEU’s for the whole course. NPCP CEU’s are not issued for the 1 day course. The 1 Day Course is suited to PT’s and learning about the Balansit and pelvic floor and Day 2 includes Pilates Equipment.

Course times are 9am – 6pm Sunday and Monday.

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
2. Understand how Balance training on the Balansit can be a useful tool for Pelvic Function and for enhancing motor learning.
3.  Learn the Anatomy of the Pelvis. Learn about the Pelvic Rings. Learn to functionally assess the Pelvis and its relationships with the Femurs. Assess Pelvic Instability v Pelvic Compensation. Assess and Address Pelvic Rotation
4. Activate the Pelvic floor in multiple planes. Isometrically Load the Pelvic Floor. Assess Pelvic Instability V Pelvic Compensation. Assess and Address Pelvic Rotation
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of Tolerance and Load using Pilates Apparatus with the Balansit.
