OrthoPody Training CPD With Annie Trigg & Sue Alma Evans (Authors of The PodyCharts)

This 2 day reflexology training programme is about rebalancing MusculoSkeletal integrity via Muscle Chains and Fascia. Ideal for those interested in treatment of clients impacted by MusculoSkeletal compromise and/or injury.   MusculoSkeletal strength and elasticity are often compromised and impacted by issues such as trauma & injury, be that from exercise, sport or a fall, but also from the less obvious things like poor postural habits, the weakening and atrophy of muscles from lack of movement, post operative impact on muscles and fascia, or most commonly, stress and tension. All these factors create inflammation and imbalance which communicates and travels through the length of Muscle Chains and Fascia Tissue. Accepted anatomical theory states there are eight Muscle & Fascia (MyoFascial) Chains and their associated Tension lines which are integral in the strong and stable framework of the body. (Tomas W. Myers, 2014) By re-balancing the fascia, muscles and structures within these Chains, the body is able to return to its optimal integrity of strength, elasticity, capability and importantly, range of movement.   The OrthoPody training course will teach you how to: 1) Precisely identify the Muscular Chains and Fascia represented on the feet using graphic charts of the eight MyoFascial Chains and associated Tension Lines. 2) Use field measurement techniques (appropriate for use in your clinic space) on the client, pre and post treatment, one appropriate to each MyoFascial chain. These clearly identify responses and changes in the range of joint movements associated with each Chain, as a result of OrthoPody treatments. 3) Treat the client using a protocol of Reflexology techniques and methodology to rebalance each of the MyoFascial Chains and Tension Lines, including: *Effleurage *Petrissage *Bi-Manual Duopody *Deep access and touch *Energetic tracing & balancing   Learning methods and materials, a comprehensive teaching manual including:

• Eight sets of MyoFascial Chain (MFC) Charts imaged on the templates of The PodyCharts.
• Clear tables detailing the illustrated muscles of each chain, with their associated actions.
• Detailed anatomical and physiological theory of muscles, fascia and the theories associated with treating the MyoFascial Chains with OrthoPody.
• Group tutoring, demonstrations and one to one teaching and support of practical application.
• Link to video footage of an example demonstration treatment.
