14 WEEKS: 30 HoursCapacity: 20 participantsThis course continues looking at greater detail at the topics of Baseworks-relevant Anatomy, Physiology and Movement science.

Topics covered:

  • Movement as a goal oriented behavior
  • Input-Output model
  • Movement Vocabulary: concepts and neuroanatomy
  • Relationship between the Cortical map movement vocabulary and Cerebellar role in regulating movement; correlation with the 3 stages of learning.

  • Voluntary motor control vs reflexes
  • Techniques based on the manipulation of the spinal reflexes
  • The neuron-muscle fiber interaction and relevant practical techniques
  • Flexibility: from micro to macro level
  • Human senses, receptors, labeled lines
  • Understanding what different receptors are telling us in relation to injury prevention
  • Body awareness: proprioceptive, interoceptive, spatial
  • Stress, Hormesis, Allostatic load, HPA axis
  • Predictive regulation
  • ANS control hierarchy
  • The problem with the common interpretation of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic branches of the ANS
  • an extended framework to look at ‘stress’ and ‘somatic interventions’
  • Classification of meditative techniques
  • Positive and negative effects of meditation

Baseworks Practice is structured into 4 modules with different physical prerequisites and learning objectives. All modules are taught in the same teaching methodology, ensuring a consistent learning experience.
