Due to severe head trauma, training @melissathewong has been a challenging process. Dynamic movement was originally not an option. This was because her cognitive functions would decline rapidly resulting in dizziness and a loss of balance.
- Improvements in scoliotic curve
- Improved joint stacking and scapular positioning
- Improved balance and coordination
- Improved cognitive function and ability to sense her body in space
The changes seen here are possible because of @functionalpatterns correctives (IMAPS) and myofascial release. Training in relation to our human-movement blueprint targets all systems of the body, including the vestibular system. Because of this, we saw an improvement in her balance and coordination as we began to improve her movement. We are looking forward to continued results from this dedicated client.
Protocol Used For This Natural Scoliosis Reversal
- 100% Functional Patterns Techniques
- Analyse gait & postural to identify the root causes of the scoliosis. (shifts, drops, abnormal rotations, poor connection between the hips and ribs, abnormal intra-abdominal pressure ect).
- Myo-Fascial Release, especially at the beginning to assist in rehydrating the fascia
- Movement pattern Training via Corrective Functional Patterns Chambers/IMAPS (the secret sauce). This balances out asymmetries seen in the gait footage
Eventually dynamic exercises once the clients coordination and vestibular function had improved using the former mentioned techniques
Dietary protocol for greater core tension and modulation of intra-abdominal pressure
Lifestyle interventions for stress, sleep and wellbeing management
What Does Melissa Have To Say?
I have seen significant improvement to my coordination, posture and proprioception through Functional Patterns. These sessions have played a key part in my journey to recover my cognitive and physical functions after my injury. Shane is an effective coach with a keen eye and knowledge for movement patterns. I have really enjoyed training with him.
