🚀 Promising Breakthrough in Fascia Research! 🧬✨

A research team in Virginia, USA has developed a revolutionary microscopic imaging technique that unveils the stunning architecture of the extracellular matrix of fascia like never before! 🔬👀

I can’t help but think that legendary matrix pioneers Alfred Pischinger and Hartmut Heine would have been just as thrilled as I am! 🤩 Can’t wait to see what groundbreaking insights this cutting-edge tool will reveal in the coming years—how the ECM adapts to mechanical forces, biochemical shifts, and other biological influences.

Beyoncé sí que sabe 🙃😉

Franklin Method® x Beyoncé's Dance Crew! 💃⬇️

A few years ago, Eric had the incredible honor of teaching Beyoncé's dancers right here in the US! 🎤✨ Did you know that the Franklin Method® was originally developed with dance in mind? Its core focus is on injury prevention and enhancing performance. Whether you're into hip hop, ballet, swing, or any other dance style, our courses are designed to make your dancing smoother, stronger, and safer. 💜

"Tienes 5 arcos/curvas desde la cabeza hasta el coxis.
Una de las funciones de las curvas de la columna es ayudar a alinear la cabeza sobre la caja torácica y la pelvis.
Si la columna vertebral estuviera completamente recta, la caja torácica estaría mucho más adelantada, lo que podría dificultar el equilibrio general.
Los arcos sirven para alinear dinámicamente la cabeza, la caja torácica y la pelvis.
Los arcos vertebrales son sutiles en algunos individuos y muy pronunciados en otros, por lo que hay mucha variabilidad anatómica en la forma en que se presentan estos arcos.
..
Céntrate en mover la columna, no en alinearla estáticamente."

You have 5 arches/curves from head to tail bone.

One of the functions of the arches are to help align your head over the ribcage and pelvis.

If the spine was completely straight you'd have the ribcage much further forward which could make general balance a bit trickier.

The arches serve to dynamically align the head, ribcage and pelvis.

Spinal arches are subtle in some individuals and very pronounced in others so there's a lot of anatomical variability in how these arches present.

Although they serve important functions, this doesn't mean that they are directly associated to pain.

Some studies have drawn correlations to pain and spinal arch angles (Chun et al 2017) while others haven't shown a causal relationship (Nourbaksh et al 2002) and in the world of science correlation definitely doesn't imply a causal dynamic.

So although these arches are important for creating the overall upright alignment of the human body that's always in motion, this isn't a physical characteristic we have to be too concerned about with regards to what is contributing to back/neck pain (unless in extreme cases, always leave room for those).

Although all of the 5 arches are dynamic, two of them (cervical and lumbar) are formed through movement and are especially dynamic.

Focus on moving your arches, not statically aligning them.

Movement is medicine

Though this may seem like an obvious statement, it’s actually a pretty radical concept. Try asking yourself: How many of the exercises that you do are designed to promote ideal function? A lot of modalities focus on achieving greater flexibility or building muscle, but fall short when it comes to finding the optimal solution for our body.

The Franklin Method takes a different approach. Ideal function comes first – with movement sequences supported by science and evidence-based imagery. With our movement classes, you can truly feel the difference.

Recuerdos de la graduación del nivel 1 un día como hoy hace ya 6 años 🥰

Para bailarines: Mucho nos han hablado en clase de ballet sobre la pelvis neutra, "cuadrar la pelvis", alargar la columna, no arquear la zona lumbar, alinear la rodilla con el dedo gordo, apretar el abdomen... Y si hubiera algo más que eso? Y si esas indicaciones fueran incompletas e incluso contraproducentes? Nuestro cuerpo está hecho para moverse: aprende ALINEACIÓN DINÁMICA con el Método Franklin 😉

A healthy reminder this weekend!

Movement is medicine
