Description :
Freedom to Move offers an exercise blueprint for rehabilitating back and neck
pain and the spinal dysfunction associated with many 'injuries'. This practical,
evidence-informed resource is suitable for movement therapists of all
disciplines, including physiotherapy, Pilates, yoga, Feldenkrais, and somatics.
In essence, Freedom to Move describes what goes wrong in the spine and
what to do about it. The 'deconstruction of movement patterns' helps the
practitioner better understand both the healthy and the pathological movement
patterns associated with all spinal pain disorders. It integrates the applicable
contemporary neuroscience around spinal movement and pain and the related
role of the fascial system with the author's clinical knowledge and her
exploration of various movement approaches and their contribution - or
otherwise - to spinal well-being. It explains the author's model of spinal
dysfunction - the remediation of which forms the basis of the author's model of
care for a healthier spine, The Key Approach(R). The book's main focus is on
a therapeutic exercise/embodied movement approach, which addresses the
common movement faults and dysfunctions seen in all people with spinal pain.
In particular, the Fundamental Patterns of Control are reintroduced as
important, innate 'key' movements which naturally provide the necessary
foundations for healthy spinal control - but which have commonly been 'lost' in
the movement repertoire of those with chronic spinal pain. These are reestablished
and reincorporated into various poses, movements and stretches
by way of specifically directed mindful embodied movement explorations. The
client is helped to regain more optimal function and move out of chronic pain
with more efficiency and freedom. This tailored approach to prescribing
exercise for the spine is applicable within all industry models - for the
rehabilitation of back and neck pain and stiffness, injury prevention, health
promotion and fitness - and optimising spinal health in exercise programmes in
general.
