Understanding individual tissue stress and strain
Goal - to better understand how tissue capacity (Muscle, tendon, fascia, bone, ligaments and joints) can influence movement. What are the best strategies to build capacity in each of these tissues, and how by building capacity in these tissues, you can improve movement, you can reduce the risk of injury and then ultimately how you can improve performance.

Goal - to better understand how tissue capacity (Muscle, tendon, fascia, bone, ligaments and joints) can influence movement.
What are the best strategies to build capacity in each of these tissues, and how by building capacity in these tissues, you can improve movement, you can reduce the risk of injury and then ultimately how you can improve performance.
The human body is a highly complex system, and when it comes to movement that is no exception. This complexity is compounded during movement which requires the careful and
precise coordination of a variety of different tissues that interact with joints, all of which is regulated by the nervous system. We regularly observe movement and make assessments
based on those observations, however, we are not always able to answer a fundamental question: why do we move in certain ways?
This course will begin to explore the laws of physics around movement, and how different tissues help to regulate that movement. It will go on to explore the immediate response of all
tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, bone, fascia and joints) to a stressful stimulus, and whether that adaptation will be a positive one or a negative. Rather than focussing on which
exercise to do for an injury or problem, the course will improve the candidates ability to understand and make decisions on what change (adaptation) they are trying to get in the
subject / patient, and therefore what are all the options available to get that response.
The course will cover all major regions in the body from shoulder, to spinal, to hip & pelvis, knee, and finally ankle-foot. At each region we will explore function in a healthy state and
what happens in a pathological state. At each region it will cover a specific principle and look at the best ways to get a positive adaptation at that region. However, every principle explored
can be transferred to all the regions and preliminary examples of that will be discussed.
The participants, will leave with a clear understanding of the underlying principles of movement and how physics and neurophysiology can interact; they will have a great understanding of
when applying an exercise stimulus how to enhance the desired adaptation at that tissue or region; finally, they will leave with key principles that can be applied to all the regions explored.
This is a new course to be established in the UK and Europe in 2019. The course will
integrate the theoretical science and research based evidence into bite sized practical
application for movement and exercise prescription. It will also draw upon our experiences of
working with elite athletes through The English Institute of Sport, UK Athletics, England
Rugby, Saracens Rugby, British Triathlon, National teams, The British Olympic Association at
various Olympic Games and through the Intensive Rehabilitation Unit for Team GB. Our aim is
to provide a platform for effective critical thinking and piece together a framework for good
decision making on the application of exercise and load when treating the whole body. We
hope you enjoy: Understanding individual tissue stress and strain.
