This 2 hour course has been created for all those interested in the influence our head positions have throughout our bodies, in relation to chronic pain patterns, efficiencies of movement patterns and our breathing mechanics.

Its practical nature makes it especially useful for those who help others with all the above and for those who’ve found it difficult to fathom what their head is up to and where it is!

Whilst this course can happily stand alone, additional ‘head position’ information & explorations can be found in PFM Pilot Module 5: Spinal Extension, throughout my book ‘Even With Your Shoes On’ and in the PFM Video Series for Walkers & Runners.

Welcome to my world, where Head Position ranks as the lead influencer in intractable pain, movement inefficiencies & compromised breathing mechanics.

  • Practical tutorials via online video, based on movement challenges most commonly found in my clinic & measured using Doris’ amazing technology.

  • 10 lessons

    Conclusion

    • Bringing it all Together with the Effects of ♾️!

  • After completing the PFM Pilot Significance of Head Position course, you will have the tools to:

    Explore the effects our heavy head has on chronic pain patterns, movement inefficiencies and breathing mechanics. You will know:

    how to become aware of its position using a variety of internal and external markers,

    what ‘invisible forces’ might still be blocking progress,

    how to know whether your spine or your shoulder girdle is holding you back,

    and how to help.

  • Course Requirements & Benefits

    All you require is a willingness to explore movement in ways that perhaps won’t be familiar.

    Solutions can be simple and powerful when they tap into how we’re made.

  • Further Exploration

    PFM PILOT is unique in the movement industry in objectively showing changes in real time, demonstrating the interconnectivity inherent in our incredible bodies.

    For MUCH more analysis of our moving human body, using objective data from the most advanced motion technology in the world (Doris), please explore the rest of the PFM PILOT courses, here on Thinkific.
