Our skeleton assures the solidity of our structure, our muscles give us movement. At times, overworking or badly adapted muscular tone, forces our skeleton into certain forms and therefore reduces mobility and flexibility in our actions …..
Flexors/Extensors, internal and external Rotators, the Psoas (the large muscles which allows suspension of the leg), the Diaphragm (the respiratory “pump”), the Trapeze (which govern the shoulder girdle and the relation between head and shoulders), the different Sphincters (regulating the internal/external relationships) …. These are various muscle groups that determine, organise and at times restrict our stability and our actions. When these muscles are free and highly differentiated, supple and elastic and when we have greater awareness of each and of their actions, we gain enormously in articulation and mobility of ourselves in space….
Limitations, tensions and pain are neither a fatality nor a non-reversible deterioration. These are often related to the manner in which we move and act in our daily lives, to our self-image and to habits acquired over the years. These experiences of getting to know ourselves again and becoming aware of ourselves within and without allows each participant to develop more flexibility, ease and comfort in their actions.
Rediscover how to mobilise the pelvic floor therefore allowing us to sense its tonic and reassuring presence on one hand and the possibility of it’s complete relaxation on the other…
These are only a few examples of what may be learnt and sensed from this work and are the basis for many other explorations to follow….
