LOW BACK PAIN TUTORIAL

Are you frustrated by “One Size Fits All” approaches to low back pain, but not sure what else to do for your clients?

In this tutorial you will:
  • Learn a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of low back pain sources
  • Acquire a progression of corrective exercise techniques for clients either with diagnosed injuries or unspecified pain
  • Review musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
  • Learn common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body’s response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
  • Study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I found the low back pain tutorial to be a great resource! Both in understanding how different ways of movement might affect pain levels (eg flexion vs extension), as well as giving me some real tangible exercises to play around with in my own body and hopefully 11integrate with my patients. I also had so many resounding “YES!” moments in listening to you women speak. The idea of posterior tilt not being a moral failing (I laughed out loud), and the idea of observing/treating someone through movement, and not diagnosis-based (solely). I feel lucky to have crossed paths with you and intend to soak up all that I can!” - Erica Rodas, Occupational Therapist

Shoulderstand gets a bad rap. Teachers avoid it because they’ve been told it’s dangerous, and then they pass on that fear mongering to their students. Unfortunately this approach to teaching doesn’t help student learn anything about their bodies, and really just reinforces student dependence on a “teacher” as the authority on what they do and don’t do with their body.

We’ve even received some *horrified* (and not very thoughtful) emails about it – which only strengthens our standpoint (and our neck and shoulders).

We’re not here to debate if shoulderstand is a “good” or “bad” yoga pose (spoiler: there’s no such thing, and let’s stop freaking each other out about it. Attempts to do so are more after about exerting authority than genuinely trying to help, anyway.)

What we are saying is that as teachers and practitioners, we need *a toolbox of practical concepts* to facilitate the general principles of variability and progressive overload, so that we can adequately prepare the student in front of us not only for a yoga pose, but for resilience in all their movements.

Here’s Jesal demonstrating Chair Shoulderstand variation from our Neck Tutorial. This exercise takes a familiar yoga pose - shoulderstand - and adds a supportive dimension to decrease the potential for neck strain or discomfort.

If you feel like you’re missing some of those tools, are stuck in a teaching rut, or just want to shake things up and get inspired, our Neck Tutorial is for you. It’s only $129.99 and it's available until Monday.

Click the link in bio to purchase. We don’t know when we’ll be offering this tutorial again!

[Image ID: Anakin and Padme meme, Anakin says “You should never do 
shoulderstand” Padme says “You can modify it for me!” Anakin is silent, Padme says “You can’t modify it for me?” Video ID: Jesal demonstrates shoulderstand in a chair variation]

➡️Swipe for exercise video➡️ Did you know ➡️Swipe for exercise video➡️ Did you know that your face could be part of why you 
have neck pain, upper back pain, jaw pain, or headaches? When was the last time you 
did anything for your face that wasn’t just about your skin? (We love a good moisturizer
as much as the next person, but sometimes you gotta dive a little deeper.)

Here’s Sarah with one of our favorites (swipe): Big Face, Little Face from our Neck 
Tutorial. This exercise is a great way to wake up all the muscles in your face that share 
fascial connections with the muscles of the neck and can help relieve associated jaw 
pain and headaches. Will you look cool? Not really. But it's a fun one!

Logic Neck Tutorial is available again to purchase!

The Movement Logic Neck Tutorial is 5 hours of anatomy, kinesiology, myth-busting, 
and most importantly, dozens of exercises that will help you train strength, flexibility, 
and functional movement, for whatever you want to do in life.

➡️Swipe for exercise video ➡️ have you bee ➡️Swipe for exercise video ➡️ have you been trying to stretch your way out of neck pain? How’s that going for you?

Chronic tightness is often your body’s request for change. Additionally, research suggests that a more effective way to address neck pain is to strengthen it (rather than stretch or massage).

How do I strengthen my neck, you ask? Here’s Laurel demonstrating one super effective way (swipe): Forehead Presses. This exercise targets both the smaller and larger muscles that create neck flexion - and it's harder than it looks! 

At Movement Logic, we believe in building strength to create physically and psychological resilience. We’re not saying that strength training is a panacea. Like anything else, strength training has its limitations. But strength is a factor strongly worth considering, especially if you’re unsure about what’s causing your pain.

More from Maja: “As a former dancer, I thought More from Maja:

“As a former dancer, I thought my feet were just fine. Bendy yet strong. They did an awesome job when they were in their habitual position and doing familiar stuff, but when given a new input they felt weak and shaky, go figure!

I twisted my ankle three times. And after each R.I.C.E method, I just continued doing the same stuff as before. Then, after my last incident I knew something had to change. The passive input was just not enough. 

Your tutorial was a perfect addition to my path of changing how I use my feet and how I teach about feet. 

Thank you again from my heart, for making this Tutorial more possible to attend!”

Wanna learn the tools Maja learned? You’re in luck! Right now we’re making our Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial available (and ON SALE!) for a limited time. Cart closes after tomorrow and the course goes away.

[Image ID: sky at sunset with text “You are putting such valuable information out there! I thought I knew quite enough about feet to be able to speak coherently and with passion, as I do with my clients. But you provided so much more context than I could anticipate, not only in depth but with your way of explaining stuff that often sounds too medical for people. No asana or any other movement teacher should ignore this tutorial.” -Maja Mogulja, yoga teacher]

You may have heard that a 'flat foot' or a 'droppe You may have heard that a 'flat foot' or a 'dropped arch' is a bad, bad thing.
 
You may have been fitted for orthotics or bought some special insoles for your shoes to try and 'correct' this issue.
 
If so, did it work? Or... did it end up making you dependent on that orthotic for every time you go for a walk, run or hike?
 
To be clear, we're not 100% anti-orthotics. For some people, they are the exact right solution.
 
However, there's a lot we can all do to develop the mobility and strength of our lower leg and foot muscles that help to create that functional pronation-supination movement we need for walking.
 
Because one thing we do know: having healthy and functional feet that can move through pronation and supination during gait is more important than their static position (i.e. in standing).
 
Have thoughts on orthotics? Tell us in the comments!
 
P.S. Want to learn more? We’ve got a 3-hour Foot and Ankle Tutorial that gives you a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of foot and ankle concerns. Along with musculoskeletal anatomy review and up-to-date pain science, you will acquire a progression of corrective exercise techniques to explore toe flexibility and strength, supination and pronation, arch support and development, balance and proprioception, and how all these lead to the most basic movement of them all: walking!
 
And the best news of all: it’s ON SALE! Only $99.99 (save $30)

Have you ever had your ankle make a weird clicking Have you ever had your ankle make a weird clicking noise when you walked or ran? Have you ever been able to understand why? Or have you just lived with it, knew something was off, but figured there was nothing to do until it got a lot worse?
 
As movement practitioners, we can’t diagnose foot or ankle dysfunction, but we CAN empower ourselves and our students with the knowledge to help the ankle work better, which can reduce those strange noises, and help out with overall posture and pain.
 
On that note, we’re thrilled to announce that the Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial is (for the first time EVER) ON SALE!
 
The Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial is 3 hours of anatomy, kinesiology, myth-busting, and most importantly, dozens of exercises that will help you train strength, flexibility, and functional movement, for whatever you want to do in life.
