Oov LEVEL 2/3: Afferent/Efferent


  • Studio 1002 Pilates 1002 West Diversey Parkway Chicago, IL, 60614 United States (map)

OOV FUNDAMENTALS IS A PREREQUISITE TO THIS COURSE.

THIS COURSE COMBINES OUR PREVIOUS LEVEL 2 AND LEVEL 3 COURSES INTO ONE 3 DAY COURSE.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED LEVEL 2, PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A $250 DISCOUNT TO ATTEND THIS COURSE.

Course Description:

This course shows movement professionals and practitioners how to identify and change multiple functional domains in the body using task based, kinaesthetic intelligence upregulating, movement based interventions. This course will build on the foundation of Level 1 and empower practitioners to assess clients and patients in a complete, whole body manner quickly and safely.

This course explains and provides interventions for an Efferent and an Afferent patient and presentation.

Specifically, this course will address the central organisational structures, the peripheral biomechanics and more importantly, their relationship to one another, what needs addressing first for the unique patient/client in front of the practitioner at that time and how to go about making that change.

This course explains the inextricable link between the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), Respiratory mechanics, axial kinaesthetic awareness and inflammatory patterns in the body and brain.

 

This course includes:

  1. A unique philosophical framework for observing the human form.

  2. Original diagnostic tests to guide practitioners down a thoughtful path in applying their pre-existing skill set, or the skill set offered and delivered in this course and other courses from OOV Education.

  3. A new philosophy based Method to increase information to the body.

  4. A new movement gamut and the ability to interpret these movements within the framework of the philosophy provided.

  5. A clear and meaningful “map” from the tests/movements to the appropriate interventions to change the body quickly, safely and intelligently.

  6. A definition of Hardware vs Software Efferent presentations.

  7. An easy to follow general clearance test (as used in Level 2) with accompanying diagnostic tests for: V.O.R (Vestibular Ocular Reflex), The A.O (Atlanto-Occipital joint), Common spinal pathologies (Disc, Spondylolisthesis etc). The organisation of the Costals and lobes of the Diaphragm, the axial loading accuracy of the foot and ankle, the relationship between all the above and the force closure capabilities addressed in earlier course/s.

  8. Solutions and movements to change the information ascertained in the above tests.

 

Course Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

  1. Comprehend the body in a new philosophical paradigm – Perfection vs Disfunction.

  2. Understand Bio-tensegrity and root of its manifestation: Information and Perception.

  3. Understand Allostasis and Allostatic Load, Homeostasis and Form and Force Closure.

  4. Demonstrate correct set up, safety and care of the Oov.

  5. Demonstrate knowledge, implementation and pertinence of a Clearance Strategy Screen (Vertical Loading).

  6. Understand and define Afferent vs Efferent influences.

  7. Understand how Balancing on the Oov can be a useful tool to identify AFFERENT vs EFFERENT strategic parameters and suitably describe the significance of that at a diagnostic, intervention and medico-legal level.

  8. Implement and INTERPRET a range of movement assessment screens.

  9. Use the assessments to thoughtfully guide their direction of intervention on the patient/client.

  10. Understand a new definition of Dis-function.

  11. Demonstrate a complex understanding of: kinematic pairs and chains, Superficial chain preferences and Myo-fascial slings.

  12. Understand how Joint position interacts with local joint complexes, function and global slings.

  13. Demonstrate a high degree of comprehension of functional anatomical interrelatedness of multiple structures – fascial, articular, myo-neural and visceral.

  14. Understand the METHODS employed in this course.

  15. Understand WHY the methods are in the order that they are in.

  16. Demonstrate how creative and deliberate use of peripheral holds (hand and foot positions) can influence global slings and strategies.

  17. Demonstrate how Load can be utilised to influence different outcomes of Motor Control and explain WHY and HOW.

  18. Understand basic concepts of Hormesis vs Compassion for intervention efficacy.

  19. Understand how the concepts and methods identified in this course can be used with any form of Functional Training.

  20. Understand the anatomy and function of the diaphragm, the AO joint and the efferent processing systems in the brain and spinal cord.

  21. Understand respiratory physiology and its effects on muscle function, rigidity strategies and how breath can be a valuable tool in making biomechanical and neurological change in a patient.

  22. Understand how to observe and appropriately and SAFELY utilise breath in movement.

  23. Be able to integrate multiple systems, from head to toe, in a patient for maximal kinaesthetic up-regulation.

  24. Understand Software vs Hardware in pathology and strategy.

  25. Effectively teach the exercises described in this course to individuals and a large group.
