PS: Intro: Concepts and Evidence
Piston Science is a new approach to adult rehab, recovery and return to fitness. The viewer is introduced to a dynamic team of muscles, inclusive of the relationship between the diaphragm and pelvic floor. That team works together to balance muscular forces and pressures creating an integrative model of dynamic central stability (Modules 1-4). Issues with the musculoskeletal system, movement patterns, breathing, pelvic health, balance and fitness can be addressed simultaneously when this central team is coordinated and linked from the inside-out to the rest of the postural system (Modules 5-7). Adapted for the online educational format, both embedded video and independent lab opportunities provide the viewer with ample opportunity to interact with the material and apply this approach in all areas of adult rehab and fitness (women’s health, orthopedics, sports medicine, fitness and neuro). The course is a bundled learning opportunity, with each of the 7 modules building on the previous presentation.
Module One: An in-depth discussion of the theory, evidence and concepts for the Piston Science approach, a neuromuscular and systems based path to creating central stability from the inside-out. The diaphragm is presented as the intersection of multiple systems, with breath mechanics as an accessible gateway for all populations to a new model of dynamic trunk and pelvic control. In addition, dysfunction across the lifespan is explored from this new perspective. (run time = 2 hours).
