Effortless Weight Bearing

Weight bearing through the arms and hands is an uncomfortable and difficult task for many. Movement modalities like pilates and yoga include many exercises and positions where weight bearing through the arms for long periods of time is required.

The numerous health benefits of weight bearing exercises can be severely diminished when the individual is unable to comfortably and confidently support themselves in their upper limbs.

Fixing the arms in place often doesn’t work instead, we should find easy and reliable ways to dynamically align the hand, wrist and arms for effortless, pain free and confident weight bearing.

In this workshop you will learn:

• The spiral structure of the hand and how the bones move in 3 dimensions to support the wrist, elbow and shoulder on all fours.

• How to strengthen the arches of the hand dynamically, allowing your clients to achieve adaptive hand posture on the mat.

• Arm exercises specifically for osteoporosis, improving wrist strength and reducing the risk of wrist fractures.

• Inventive cues to improve weight bearing in the arms.

• Seamlessly make upper weight bearing exercises more accessible to any client in your class.

• Build strength and a sense of connection through the palm, wrist, elbow and shoulder myofascial sling.

• Understand how to create a sense is suspension in your arms via the fascial system in weight bearing.

• Empower greater levels of autonomy in those you work with in the studio.
