ABC® Method Basic Course at ZÜRICH – “The Primary Descending Chain and the Lower Spirals”

4 Maggio 2024 @ 9:00 am – 5 Maggio 2024 @ 6:00 pm UTC+0

This course forms the fundamental basis of the ABC® Method, focusing on the pelvis as the crucial hub for the union of descending and ascending forces in the human body. Students will explore the lower spirals and points of major myofascial thickening in depth, developing a detailed understanding of how these elements affect posture and musculoskeletal health.

Program of the course – THEORY (about 20% of the time)

  • Introduction to the Postural-Logical ABC® method; postural physiological asymmetries
  • Applied biomechanics, logical and dynamical evaluation
  • Clinical and functional palpatory anatomy
  • ABC® Dynamic Assessment Test; easy, intuitive and aware
  • The use of proprioception as a means of support
  • Asymmetric functional manual treatment
  • Personalized therapeutic exercise development

What you’ll learn in this course:

  • Pelvis as Fundamental Fulcrum: Insight into the central role of the pelvis as a fulcrum for the forces acting in the body, providing a crucial conceptual basis for understanding the ABC® Method.
  • Inferior spirals and myofascial thickening points: Detailed study of the lower spirals and points of major myofascial thickening, with a focus on connections and impacts on posture.
  • ABC® Dynamic Functional Assessment Techniques: Introduction to advanced dynamic functional assessment techniques, providing students with the necessary tools to understand movement patterns and postural asymmetries.
  • Targeted Palpatory Anatomy: Insight into targeted palpatory anatomy to accurately identify muscle and joint asymmetries and dysfunctions.
  • Treatment of Thickening Points: Learning ABC® manual techniques for the specific treatment of myofascial thickening points, enabling students to develop practical skills in the management of dysfunctions.
  • Development of Customised Therapeutic Exercise: Exploration of strategies to develop customised therapeutic exercises, considering the specific needs of each individual.

This course also includes a section dedicated to FixSit®, the World’s First and Only ‘Bottom Plate’:

  • Using the patented FixSit® Proprietary System: In-depth introduction to FixSit®, the revolutionary ‘foot bed for the butt’. This customised device offers a proprioceptive session tailored to each patient, based on their unique postural physiology.
  • The FixSit® is designed to stimulate the live position of the ischial bones and sacrum during sitting. This targeted stimulation reduces strain on the spinal column during daily activity, helping to prevent and correct the risk factors associated with chronic back pain, recognised as the world’s number one occupational disease by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
  • Students will learn how to integrate FixSit® into their therapeutic approaches, offering patients an innovative tool to support correct posture and prevent chronic back pain problems.

This module offers a comprehensive overview of the basics of the ABC® Method together with an in-depth understanding of the practical application of FixSit®, contributing to the training of professionals who can deal with the challenges of posture and musculoskeletal health in an advanced manner.
