Myo-Structural Factors in Posture, Pain & Dysfunction

Myo-Structural Factors in Posture, Pain & Dysfunction

The Florida School of Advanced Bodywork believes there is a fundamental lack of understanding, relative to how postural distortions directly and negatively impact the body. Many people are not aware that poor posture eventually leads to musculoskeletal pathology, including neuromuscular, myofascial, and various myo-structural issues.

“Myo-” refers to the muscular system, including the muscle fibers, the musculo-fascia, and the nerves controlling them. This also extends to the joints that the muscle controls.

Yet in OTHER cases, but no less important, it is the opposite. … Musculoskeletal pathology & pain can affect structural & postural balance and distortions. Either way, these factors are critical to recovering and optimizing the Health & Function of the Human Body & Mind of your Clients.

And while Pain is very often an indicator of such “soft tissue issues,” at other times, their Postural Distortions are far MORE important than where the pain is. Sometimes, the pain distracts you from where your Client’s problems really are. …

In our Medical Massage Therapy & Myo-Structural Balancing School, we teach you how to distinguish the many, and sometimes little-known, differences in determining & treating what your Client’s TRUE source of pain or dysfunction really is. Our advanced medical massage training sets you apart from the “standard” training in most massage schools out there.

Our Clinical / Medical Massage Therapy School uses Structure & Posture as a Core Focus for your Therapeutic Education, helping you develop your Strategy & Tactics for recognizing, analyzing & treating such conditions.

Attending one of our Kinesiology Lectures will help you Understand & Determine whether our approach is something You want to learn and work on within your Career.

You Too Can Become An Expert At Relieving Pain, Lost Range of Motion, “Weakness,” and Many Other Dysfunctions by Resolving Postural & Structural Imbalances

Our advanced approach to myo-structural bodywork and medical massage therapy school in Jacksonville, FL includes addressing and eliminating postural distortions caused by muscular tension and myofascial imbalances. We believe the body’s inefficient opposition to gravity can cause many forms of musculoskeletal pain.

You will discover how the body’s inefficient opposition to gravity can cause musculoskeletal pain and many other problems people face on a daily, hourly basis.

In other words, gravity forces the body’s weight to shift off the bones and onto the muscles. This shifting, altering, and compensating often leads to formation of local pain points, trigger points, (referral of pain to distant areas), deviations (un-evenness) in hip & leg lengths, distortions in pelvis and spine (misalignments), depressed or elevated shoulder girdles, collapsed (stooped or slouched) upper body, forward head & neck positioning, and other such ailments.

Our objective is to have students focus on musculo-fascial units that are overly “locked short” from C.E.M.&.N.T. (chronic excess muscle & nerve tension & stress), specializing in resolving muscular imbalances linking poor posture, musculoskeletal pain, a wider variety of dysfunctions, and restriction of body movements.

Yet sometimes, pain from other causes distorts the posture. Learning to SEE and Understand these many factors sets YOU apart from other practitioners.

AND, You’ll KNOW how to Recognize those differences, and What To DO about them.
