Five preparatory activities before Schade Technique practice?
|
1. Get mat
2. Get supports 3. Stretching 4. Stretch 5. Get heart rate up |
|
|
Describe two movements done in the lower extremities that are part of the Schade lift and drop.
|
With exhalation legs are heavy.
Begin with hips wide and loose and progress to the thighs, knees, lower legs, ankles, feet, and toes. |
|
|
Where and how are the arms supported in the technique's position?
|
Arms lie at the side of the body with palms down, elbows slight bent. Can use something to support arms/wrists.
|
|
|
Describe two purposes of the breathing practices
|
Focusing attention upon the process of breathing turns away from environment and what has occupied thinking.
Being able to link exhalation with the process of relaxation. |
|
|
Why don't we practice for 30min immediately at the beginning of learning the technique?
|
Prolonged practice produces tension. General relaxation throughout the body sets in automatically as the training proceeds.
|
|
|
What should the mind be doing? What is the requirement of the mental attitude of the Schade technique?
|
Mental occupation with a neutral level of existence (a level which has no feeling tone attached to it.)
|
|
|
What is static flexibility?
|
Range of motion without a consideration for speed of movement. The maximum range a muscle can achieve with an external force such as gravity or manual assistance. For example, holding a hamstring at an end-of-range position. Chance of injury is minimal.
|
|
|
Why is Flexibility important?
|
Reason:
Improves joints' range of motion which helps with injury prevention. Also may improve motor performance and skill execution. Rehabilitation after an injury by lengthening contracted scar tissue. Improves posture and ergonomics. |
|
|
What factors might limit flexibility?
|
Muscle contraction, the voluntary and reflex control that a muscle exhibits while undergoing a stretch caused by the "spindle". Muscle "tone-ness", capsules and ligaments in the hips, nerves, old muscle, injuries, excessive training, temperature, and presence of intramuscular fluid.
|
|
|
What is PNF?
|
Stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. Uses the concept that muscle relaxation is fundamental to the elongation of muscle tissue. Forms: contract relax, hold relax, and contract relax antagonist contraction.
|
|
|
Describe the purpose of the lift and drop
|
"giving in" to the process of exhalation and "giving" in to the weight and force of gravity of a particular body part. Repeated until heaviness is experiences. The goal is to achieve the release on the basis of mental process of ideation or concentration upon the "feeling" of relaxation in the part under practice.
