Respiration: The Science of Breathing and Movement

Respiration: The Science of Breathing and Movement is a dynamic one-day workshop that teaches participants about the elemental relationships between functional breathing and movement. Biological respiration is the most essential of all physiological functions. If we don’t breath for only three minutes, our brain begins to die, and by five minutes, the damage typically leaves us in a vegetative state—if we survive.
In this workshop we will explore the biomechanics and kinesiology of breathing, with reference to the physiological basis and importance of oxygen exchange. Once we understand how the body creates respiratory exchange via the neuro-musculoskeletal system, we will explore how respiration influences joint stabilization and movement of the body.
Students will learn how posture and movement is dramatically influenced by our respiratory system. Through didactic and experiential learning, students will comprehend the important role respiratory muscles (particularly the diaphragm) play in stabilization of the body during movement. We will explore how respiration affects gross movements of the body such as squatting, lunging, bending, pushing, pulling and twisting. Students will learn that through specific use of the respiratory mechanism, specific movements of the body may be either facilitated, or inhibited.
Learning objectives for this course are as follows:
1. Understand the basic function and physiology of respiration.
2. Learn the anatomy, biomechanics and kinesiology of the respiratory system.
3. Discover how respiration influences both the axial skeleton and the extremities by either exciting or inhibiting agonists and antagonists.
4. Explore basic techniques for assessing respiratory function.
5. Discover how to determine when breathing should be maintained with movement vs. when breathing should be modulated to improve stability in the musculoskeletal system during performance exercise.
6. Comprehend how to improve performance during commonly used rehabilitative and conditioning exercises by effectively integrating optimal respiratory mechanics.
7. Practice practical, effective methods for restoring optimal respiratory mechanics.

Scientific Balance Training
October 30, 2010, 8:30 AM to 6 PM
C.H.E.K Institute, Vista, CA
$197 Regular ($177 Early Bird ends September 30) SAVE $$$
Today, injury during athletic performance is common among those who lack balance. In this stimulating, practical one-day workshop, Holistic Healthcare Practitioner, Paul Chek, shares numerous useful methods he has used successfully with a variety of clients ranging from the elderly to the many extreme athletes he has worked with for improving balance during performance training.
Paul will direct you to an understanding of how the body utilizes biological balance and equilibrium, and how the postural support system develops and functions as a necessary function with our larger, prime-mover or “mobilizer” muscle systems. Paul will explain the many ways that balance dysfunctions emerge from common underlying health challenges that are frequently overlooked.
In this 1-day seminar, you will learn how to progress people through a flexibility/stability phase of training to progressively more challenging balance training exercises. You will also learn how to logically progress balance training exercises so that you and your clients get maximum return on investment with a scientifically designed balance-training program. The methods taught in this workshop are practical, require no sophisticated equipment, and can be immediately applied within the framework of life.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how infant development plays a major role in the child, adolescent and adult’s ability to create balance equilibrium.
2. Discover how to effectively progress a balance-training program through the flexibility/stability, strength and power phases of exercise progression.
3. Learn many useful assessment techniques that serve to guide your balance correction prescriptions.
4. Explore many common, but frequently overlooked reasons that people have balance challenges so you can be more thorough in the assessment process.
