Every Step You Take: Neurovascular Release and Gait Series Live Online with Kieran Schumaker
Expand your map of the nerves and vessels in the lower body
Kieran Schumaker has designed this experiential tour through the neurovascular network as a follow-up to the Anatomy Trains dissection series “Every Step You Take,” in which Tom Myers and Todd Garcia helped us look at the anatomy and dynamics of gait in the hip, thigh, knee, ankle, and foot. You do not need to have taken the dissection in order to attend and get benefit from this series.
Kier’s neurovascular anatomy lessons, Neurovascular Release techniques, and strategies are game-changers for massage therapists, physiotherapists, structural integrators, yoga teachers, Pilates instructors, and movement therapists.
Free your stride
Participants will experience better alignment while standing, ease in squatting, and strength in rising up onto the balls of their feet, with overall improvements in joint articulation and balance. Taking this for a walk or run, you will likely notice improved stride length and efficiency, and freer, more comfortable climbing and descending of stairs and hills.
Professionals involved in athletics and high-performance sports will come away with new strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation, and tools for fine-tuning left-right balance throughout the lower body. Each module will cover anatomy and self-treatment techniques, with a sampling of manual therapy applications, followed by Q&A.
Note: If you cannot attend live, these webinars will be recorded and all registrants will receive access to the recordings for 45 days!
Module 2 – Hips, Thighs, and Knees
In a tour of the thigh, Kier will show you how the arteries and nerves weave through the fascial layers of the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, and abductors.
Use your new understanding of artery supply to thigh muscles to work selectively on different sections of these muscles. This allows you to change fascial tension patterns
causing:
- Pelvic torsion
- Stride limitation
- X-legs and O-legs
- Patellar tracking issues
- Several types of knee pain
After teaching self-treatment techniques, Kier will help you manually free up the hamstrings of a friend or family member.
Props: two chairs or stools that don’t swivel, plus a yoga bolster or buckwheat-filled meditation cushion, and/or a massage table.
