18.01.2022 Need to change our focus...

18.01.2022 26 bones and 33 joints in the wrong position - no one cares what the foot does or more importantly what it can’t - I get it...it’s not sexy - you shouldn’t get excited by a foot but I do. I love feet and things connected to them...

16.01.2022 Think about it before getting the fusion..

14.01.2022 Worth sharing...

13.01.2022 When the foot pronates the forefoot abducts away from the body’s midline. In this moment the big toe follows the movement of the forefoot - away from the body’s... midline. A flatter pronated foot is known as a valgus foot. A bunion - although there do appear to be two types of bunion is known as a hallux valgus. Effectively a pronated toe. A bunion is present where this movement of the toe (away from the body’s midline) is greater than it should be. It’s more valgus than it should be and we could suggest more pronated than it should be. In this case there is excess gapping at the first MTPJ (or big toe joint) - which is where a bunion is located as marked by the blue V on the image. Foot pronation as you likely know is a specific shape in the foot created by the 26 bones and 33 joints in the foot. Each of the joints on the midline of the foot should open / gap as the foot pronates. It is often the case that a bunion forms where there is excess opening in this joint. Excess opening of a joint appears to make up for a lack of such gapping at other related joints. More often than not you can look one joint up in the midfoot at the 1st metatarso-cuneiform joint to find that it is unable to open (I.e. abduct). In order to generate the necessary motion of pronation in the foot, the toe must pronate more now due to the lack of pronation in the midfoot, and the gapping will thus be excessive creating an environment for a bunion. In this scenario, the bunion is not the problem but may actually be acting as a solution (giving you more at one joint to make up for less at another). Can you get the joints of the midfoot opening in a pronation movement while mobilising the big toe joint to take the pressure off your bunion? #flowmotionmodel #whatthefoot #garyward #wakeyourbodyup #anatomyinmotion #bunions #bunion #bunionsurgery

11.01.2022 Today we finally managed to change the Closed Chain Biomechanics course for the Lower Limb to now be set up to do your Quiz/ exam and earn your CPD points as yo...u go through the material. One could say I'm a mean old swine for making students have to achieve a 100% pass rate to earn their certificate or you could say I'm extremely passionate about your education and learning in this anatomical space. If unsure it's definitely the latter If you have read my book or listened to my podcasts, you'll know that our philosophy is an outlier in the bodywork industry. I mean who else tells you that muscles lengthen before they contract and do so in RESPONSE to joint motion, and not only tells you this but bangs on about it for ten years plus because deep down he knows that there's a significant truth in it... a truth worth learning, understanding and embedding... and a truth I openly invite everybody to take on and peer into. This course is the first of many to come. Covid restrictions don't make a return to our old teaching ways very appealing (for me anyway - I like the group huddle around a foot and human contact for learning stimulus - and so am excited about this new wave of educational possibility for people all over the world to build and learn their movement anatomy so we can get down to the real deal and study my Flow Motion Model in the months to come. Step by Step, 100% by 100% we will get you there Click the link to get started: https://findingcentre.co.uk/closed-chain-biomechanics-of-t/

04.01.2022 "In a recent review, the findings of which were published this month in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers from Denmark and the Netherlands loo...ked at 20 papers on orthotics and found no evidence for their effectiveness over a placebo. The combined studies showed foot orthoses [were] not superior for improving pain and function compared with [a] sham, the researchers wrote."

04.01.2022 Body ALIGN COURSE The Body Align course is a beginner movement-based approach to aligning your body and posture. Most joints in your body move in 3 dimensions, meaning front to back, side to side and rotationally. Each joint requires the joint above and below to move with the same amount of movement spectrum. For example, can your pelvis rotated equally left and right or do you have restrictions in one direction in comparison to the other? The aim of the course is to let you... discover your body’s restrictions through movement and have an awareness of how to help yourself, fix yourself through movement. You achieve this during the course by learning how to assess your body’s movement restrictions, what movement you have difficulty with, and exploring movements which unlock these movement restrictions in a safe controlled environment. The course is designed for anyone who is currently experiencing pain, movement restrictions, aches, stiffness, alignment or posture issues or athletes wanting to be more efficient with movement will benefits from the course. There are two main goals of the course 1. UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR BODY MOVES self assessment is the key to understanding how your body moves. The course is built around how your body is moving, how each joint effect other joints and helping you identify how your body is moving. 2. LEARN TO MOVE YOUR BODY - Discover ways to unlock your body's potential through understanding whole body movement integration, joint dynamics, fundamentals of how to access full body movements. Learning how to constantly revaluation through movement and learning a daily movement program. The course is complete with an exercises library of movements send every week so that you can watch the movements anytime.
