When good movements go bad…
I think almost everyone can relate to the good movements that went bad in the above YouTube clip.
Just think back to the last wedding or family event that you attended and perhaps a little bit of your extended family member’s magical moves may come back to you.
That being said, those aren’t exactly the movements I was talking about in the title of today’s blog.
This weekend, I’m fortunate to be attending a very special seminar put on by the one and only Dr. Shirley Sahrmann in the incredible Canadian city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I realize that to many of you out there, her name really doesn’t stand out or mean a whole lot.
However, to those involved in human movement, she is considered one of the greatest minds in the industry.
Keep in mind that Dr. Sahrmann has been a practicing physical therapist for over 50 years.
Now take a moment and let that number sink in a bit.
FIFTY YEARS!
And over that time she has amassed a seemingly infinite wealth of knowledge about how the human body moves and how to fix the problems that invariably crop up using only a few simple movements and applied kinesiology.
Her series of courses are based on her quintessential textbook The Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes and I would say without a doubt her book and courses should be an integral component of any injury rehabilitation practitioners continuing education agenda.
Day one complete!
And I can say it was an enlightening experience.
I’ve taken many notes and over the next few days will try to synthesize them into easy to understand, applicable bits of knowledge to help those movement impairment based aches and pains.
Yours in movement.
