Myofascial Meridians: On Aug. 25, learn about "Building Connections Between Muscles After Paralysis"
Myofascial meridians are lines of muscles (myo) and connective tissue (fascia) that run throughout the body that work together in patterns and shape much of our movement. The 12 meridians connect the whole body in an integrative way and establish connection and balance within the body. Following a spinal cord injury, using the myofascial meridians is an excellent method because it relies on the neural networks throughout your connective tissue and muscles as opposed to solely relying on your spinal cord to relay that information. On Wed., Aug. 25th at 5 p.m. PST, join Rach Kahn for an eye-opening hour of lecture and exercises by registering HERE.
In this workshop, Rach will teach you about the 12 myofascial meridians including how to identify which meridians are most relevant to you and your goals. They will also teach you how to use the myofascial meridians to connect to areas of your body that you do not have a connection (or access) to. Rach will then demonstrate several exercises on how to best use the meridians when trying to connect and strengthen key areas of your body post paralysis. Rach is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and licensed massage therapist.
