Seminar Five: The Primal Midline
The Embryological Imperative and Midline Structures
~ Introduction to embryological Midlines the notochord axis and midline organising principles.
~ Dural tube dynamics, palpation and clinical approaches.
~ Pelvic dynamics, palpation and clinical approaches.
~ The sacroiliac joints and the lumbosacral junction.
~ Vertebral dynamics: motility and their relationship to the primal midline.
~ Palpation of vertebral dynamics, permitted motion and the state of balanced tension.
~ Trauma and hypo-arousal states.
~ Clinical applications and connections.
In this seminar students are introduced to the dynamics of the embryologically derived midline and to the structures and relationships which coalesce within and around it. Concepts of embryology are introduced as a vehicle for understanding the organisation and health of the human system. The dynamics of the dual tube and specific clinical intentions via fluids and tissue conversations are introduced.
Students are also introduced to the dynamics at the opposite pole of the midline, the pelvis. Pelvic dynamics are explored and inertial issues within the lumbosacral junction and sacroiliac joints are approached. The classical motion dynamics of vertebrae are discussed and explored. Students are introduced to clinical approaches to fixation and inertia within vertebral midline dynamics. Clinical approaches to hypo-arousal and freezing states are also introduced. The role of lateral fluctuation, EV4 and trauma skills based on Peter Levine's work are explored within this context.
