- Module 3 of the BCMA Level 2 course is dedicated to an in-depth study of the spine and breathing and their central role in body biomechanics. This module aims to develop a detailed understanding of the interactions between the spinal structure, breathing and postural imbalances, while providing practical techniques for assessing and correcting these dysfunctions.
- Spinal Awareness and Location
- The module begins with an exploration of the corresponding triangles, in particular the PM vertex triangle, a crucial benchmark for understanding alignment and tension in the spine. Participants will be guided through practical exercises to develop an awareness of their own spine, followed by a theoretical explanation to reinforce this understanding. This sensory approach is essential for refining the clinical assessment of the spine in patients.
- Restructuring Massage and Tuning of the Spine
- The afternoon of the first day is devoted to locating and marking the bony and muscular structures of the spine, followed by an introduction to restructuring massage of the back, using the G.D.S. method. Participants will learn superficial and deep manoeuvres aimed at harmonising the different muscle chains, in particular the postero-lateral (PL), antero-lateral (AL) and postero-medial (PM) chains. This tuning is crucial to restoring dynamic balance to the spine.
- Core Tuning and Spinal Breathing
- On the second day, the focus is on tuning the anterior aspect of the trunk, in particular through breathing and spinal breathing. Participants will discover how breathing can influence spinal alignment and how to optimise this process to improve posture and overall body function. This session explores deep breathing mechanisms and their impact on the spine.
- Predispositions to Spondylolisthesis and Practical Applications
- The afternoon is devoted to studying the predisposing factors for spondylolisthesis, a common but complex condition that affects the stability of the spine. Participants will learn how to identify these predispositions and apply practical techniques to prevent or alleviate the disorder, thereby enhancing their skills in managing spinal pathologies.
- Respiratory Testing and Clinical Practice
- The final day of the module focuses on tests to assess different breathing patterns. Participants will be trained to identify respiratory dysfunctions that can affect spinal dynamics. The afternoon is devoted to clinical practices adapted to different cases, including releasing a blocked thorax during inspiration or expiration, thoracic modelling to correct imbalances, and reprogramming the synergy of the transverse abdominal muscle in the respiratory process. These techniques restore functional breathing and relieve associated spinal tension.
- This module aims to deepen understanding of the links between the spine, breathing and posture, while providing practical tools for correcting dysfunctions in these areas, in order to improve patients' quality of life.
