CORE Sports and Performance Bodywork: A 4 - System Approach.

This two-day seminar will examine the four basic styles of performance inherent in all athletic disciplines. Utilising structural integration and myofascial therapy theories and techniques that are appropriate for each style of performance, participants will focus on developing training and event protocols for endurance, sprint, power, and multi-skilled athletes. Presentations on performance mechanics, somatotypes, and the balancing of the autonomic nervous system will highlight a comprehensive study of advanced therapies for the athletic performer.

Day One – Foundations The first day of the seminar will present the primary concepts of the  physical and psychological demands of training and performance for all athletes. A breakdown of somatotypes and their inherent strengths and challenges will be used to discuss the development of bodywork protocols for the endurance, sprint, power and multi-skilled athlete. Myofascial and structural techniques for the leg, pelvis and back will be presented for both training and performance cycles.

Day Two – Advanced Methods The second day of the seminar will present advanced strategies for developing protocols that are both sport-specific and performance-level based. Techniques for working with intrinsic myofascial tissues of the axial and appendicular regions and strategies to balance the autonomic nervous system will be taught. Advanced protocols for the arms, shoulders, chest, neck and head will also be presented.

At the conclusion of the seminar participants will be able to organise a manual therapy treatment plan for athletic performers based upon the demands of the sport or performance on a specific body type at various points in the athlete’s training, development and competition.
