My brain is full and happy after my anatomy alive course today. Bavo Wouters managed to make an anatomy course fun and so engaging, not easy!
I learnt so many new things about the body.
One that I found very interesting was about the adductors (inner thigh muscles) and how they do more than just move our legs.
They’re part of the body’s deep front line, a chain of muscles and connective tissue that helps support posture and stability. Stress, trauma, and depression can sometimes be reflected in increased tension or dysfunction in this area, contributing to a more collapsed posture. The body really does tell a story.
And one important reminder, that practicing the Standing on one leg exercise is one of the best things you can keep up as you age.
Balance is one of the biggest predictors of healthy ageing and reducing the risk of falls. It’s why I finish every class with balance work.
Tomorrow we explore common conditions, learn how to spot movement patterns that might indicate something isn’t quite right, and discover how we can use movement to support people with these in the most effective way.
