‘Hinging’ down/up wave
Spine & scapulae: 'Global' patterns
•
2m 39s
THE WHAT
A novel variation of the ‘Down/up sagittal spinal-wave’ incorporating a progressive hip-hinge & deepening of the torso toward the horizontal plane. As an effect there is SIGNIFICANTLY greater loading along the posterior-spine felt as an unavoidable fatigue, lending an innate conditioning quality to this fundamental wave pattern.
Despite the angle of the upper-body (more horizontal) facilitating flexion in the wave due to gravitational alignment, extension becomes MUCH more challenging and so maintaining the full & rhythmical articulation of the ‘Down/up’ wave is a main point of practice, notably in the lumbar-spine region. Record & review, or work in a reflective-surface, to ensure it is being optimally maintained.

‘Up/down’ sagittal spinal-wave
THE WHAT
A fundamental 'spinal-wave' performed in the sagittal-plane. The initiation of this pattern is from 'up' (i.e. leading with the HEAD) and transmitted sequentially 'down' the spine to the spine into the ground. From here, it endlessly feeds back into itself in a CYCLICAL pattern with no s... -
‘Up’ & ‘Down’ spinal-wave switching
THE WHAT
The foundational 'Down/up' and 'Up/down' sagittal spinal-waves are now brought together in an integrated context which expresses switching between the two directions. The transition initially offers a minor coordinative motor-task requiring pre-"planning" of the switch and allowing time ... -
‘Down/up’ frontal spinal-wave
THE WHAT
After development of the fundamental spinal-waves & their 2 directions in the sagittal-plane (trajectory forward & back), we now bring focus to the FRONTAL-plane (trajectory side-to-side). Whilst the quality-standards & focus points concerning sequential articulation & 'rhythmicality' st...
