The more mobile they are and the better the relationship you establish between them and your hands, the less you’ll create inhibition of motion and avoid shoulder and neck issue forming unnecessary, so often. 2025-09-21 13:19:32 Stop 🛑 cuing “.. 76 +20% 4 +3%
During a recent Myofascia Pilates class I had to give a little reminder of how to manage cervical issues & prevent the myriad of problems that are invited or arise within this region in the first place.

I wanted to reintroduce myself to all our new followers - I am Paul Thornley and I’ve been teaching movement and manual (Neuro-Muscular) Therapy for many years. I’ve been practicing Martial Arts since I was seven and as a soldier in the Royal Air Force I knew all about injury, insult and high performance. I also understand chronic pain and a lot of it is unnecessary if you know the keys. Understanding fascia from the anatomy lab and taking that knowledge into practice is shifting not only how we understand movement - but also how we recover, avoid injury and prevent it happening in the first place. Myofascial Magic is actually a game-changing way of keeping us out of therapy and in the sports and activities we love! It’s the missing piece in the movement puzzle and with that knowledge in your pocket (as a practitioner, trainer or a keen athlete and mover) you can recover quickly from exertion, integrate all kinds of optimisation and restore your best - even after a punishing hour or two in the gym or the dojo! Whatever your sport or movement skill - make sure you know about MMIA - it’s the best kept secret in the body world!! www.myofascialmagic.com #myofascia #myofascialrelease #myofascialmagic #paulthornley #fascia #welcome #community #health #movementtherapy #anatomylab #yogateacher #therapist #fasciamatrix 2025-08-31 14:57:41 I wanted to reint.. 73 +15% 0 -100%
Myofascia Pilates Dubai UAE 🇦🇪 Creating movement that doesn’t result in dysfunction or pain. Fasciategrity in Motion is the most fundamental principle of 21st Century Anatomy & Physiology. Positioning, sequencing & invited intensity are the bedrock of teaching from a physiological perspective rather than the copy & paste approach of teaching a repetitive repertoire or sequence that doesn’t honor the uniqueness of each participant. 2025-08-24 14:11:58 Myofascia Pilat.. 111 +75% 2 -48%

It’s widely known how we understand the compartmentalization and distinct designation that is allocated to each part of the brain 🧠… however, movement isn’t an intellectual process, it’s an intuitive response that happens instinctively. You never ask the brains permission to react to a particular emotion or situation, you just do. Brains are not a preprogrammed system, we educate it and ourselves through our various interactions, experiences which our mental & physical developmental processes adapt to throughout our life times. Knowing that our primary sensory organ is our own quintessential myofascia matrix, has helped us comprehend this phenomena with more clarity. Recognizing the importance of the variations of sensory organs & nervous systems, that each have their own specialized properties and specific locations within the wholeness of our form, that ultimately collaborate to inform us of our very own unique proprioceptive and interoceptive behaviors , helps us to refine how we feed ourselves with a more nutritious approach to instinctive responses and movement choices. When people understand why it’s important to remove the biomechanical metaphor that separates and divides us into our mythical anatomical parts or imagined and created fascia lines, they’ll benefit from the more appropriate explanation of Fasciategrity in Motion, which describes nature’s morphological & physiological reality. This ensures we understand our capabilities & functionality within the orchestral world in which we all coexist. Myofascia Movement Education. 2025-07-31 18:05:15 It’s wid.. 6 -91% 0 -100%
Why Myofascia Pilates challenges the current atrocious approach to sharing the awesome modality that is Pilates ! Because we teach you from a foundation of understanding your unique physiology. Not from the convenience of just repeating anatomy & repertoire that’s remembered by an ill equipped instructor who has almost no knowledge of the longterm consequences of teaching inappropriately to an audience that assumes the person teaching them is a professional movement instructor. This is completely the fault of the educational body they were certified by, who facilitate the aspirations of an eager population, however, it’s at the expense of the quality the Pilates method was developed upon and has unfortunately been exploited In favor of their bank balances to keep churning out the huge amount of poorly educated & trained instructors that are misleading and incompetently teaching what was a highly regarded movement modality. Myofascia Movement Education is a combination of understanding 21st Century structure and function, we teach you from a foundation of understanding your unique physiology. then integrating this knowledge into the most phenomenal movements, to enhance the longevity we all seek from ourselves in a world that challenges our ability to thrive & survive on a daily basis. Understanding what you’re made of from an embryonic development and how you’ve created and grown yourself into the capable being you are today, will allow you to focus more, whether you have a specific sporting career or are just on the treadmill of life, we ask an awful lot of our bodies. MyoFascia Pilates will firstly make you fully conscious of your natural abilities & limitations. As you learn about the structural influences your movement choice actually have on your internal architecture the better & more eloquent decisions you’ll make to restore your control over how it functions. Our approach is to focus on efficiency of motion through confident transitions … the art of movement is to enhance your awareness of how you’re interacting with your environment. Thereby a skill is born ! 2025-07-28 15:05:39 Why Myofasc.. 20 -68% 3 -23%
Map vs Territory ! Language of convenience rather than description of reality, does one mislead the other ? Who’s guiding the interpretation of the map ? The Pilates method is so appealing ,fashionable & desirable, but is it now becoming misleading & ineffective. Anatomy is Stereotypical… Morphology is Archetypal…. Tensegrity is Universal…. Fascia is Architectural…. How You Teach Movement Should Be Exceptional. Humans Beings thrive within a specific type of environmental fabric, Like all environments, if you abuse it, take it for granted or ignore its distinct characteristics, you will pay a hefty price. We are obsessed with naming and labeling things, nothing is defined by its title, it’s the characteristics, behavior & responses during interactions that define its function or role. Managing chronic pain is like managing your bank balance poorly. All treatments & recovery strategies are helpful & make you feel great! But non are truly addressing the issue. It’s like having gone overdrawn, getting a loan and feeling wealthy in the immediate future but avoiding how to create a more sustainable financial approach within the available resources you have. Focus back on your body, when excessive compression or tension are repeatedly encouraged dysfunction is certain to follow.

It’s 2025…. This is not a new finding in anatomy & physiology , it’s clarification of what always was ! Muscles don’t contract… Muscles tension Fascia Fascia is not the net, it’s the environment ! Muscles like all other specialized self formed elements within our human form, required an architectural fabric to accommodate each structure to function independently & collaboratively. Without fascia we could not exist. So the question is, what is Fascia & why does the pattern of it really matter ? 2025-07-15 09:53:28 It’s 2025…. .. 54 -15% 3 -23%

Time to head back to the sandpit after another phenomenal trip, bringing 21st century anatomy to the middle east has been a labor of love for the last 15years. This weeks fascia focused dissection reaffirmed the monumental shift that is happening in the healthcare & fitness industries around the world, ensuring we all play our respective roles in this revolution towards learning, sharing knowledge & applying movement physiology, with respect for our academic forefathers but look ahead with an open mind to incorporate the latest research approaches more appropriately, is paramount if we’re all to benefit from this continuing evolution and discovery of understanding human beings… Being.

Biomechanics is an explanation of convenience not reality. Tensegrity is an understanding of the universal forces within nature that are essential in our ability to exist. Fasciategrity in Motion is an invitation to experience each of our uniquely formed beings performing and thriving throughout our global environments. Fascia Focused Dissection brings together like minded individuals that forms a collective consciousness that transcends the worlds view on what it means to be a human being, Being ! From Olympic gold medalist JeromeBlake to the rest of the thriving world, our message to the healthcare & fitness industry, it’s time for a revolution to make a significant change in how we learn, share and apply 21st century anatomy & physiology. Movement is not medicine, if the way we currently approach teaching it and the way we participate in it, constantly requires medical intervention to manage the consequences of doing it so inappropriately. There is a a different approach to education, teaching and practicing healthy nutritional movement. Myofascia Movement Education. 2025-06-29 14:42:17 Biomechanics is an expl.. 98 +55% 8 +106%
How you learn & acquire your knowledge of a subject that’s become your profession matters. I choose to attend & participate in fascia focused human dissections because once you’ve been a exposed to the extraordinary gift of a cadaver, and personally explored a life lived, witnessed the undeniable historical effects that another human, self formed, self managed that’s created a unique human time capsule of a life of movement for us to learn from, its only then that you truly have a comprehension of how important it is to share your knowledge with care & respect for those your lucky enough to cross paths with. This week we gather at Kings College London, where we continue to explore & challenge the academic past so that we as the next generation of custodians of 21st century anatomy & physiology, keep advancing & supporting the natural evolution of the healthcare & fitness industries.

Myofascia Movement Education All professional movement instructors & manual therapists must have a comprehensive understanding of Fascia… However, like all things, it is not defined by its name, which unfortunately has been misunderstood & inappropriately described as a connective tissue for centuries. Fascia to be understood and integrated within your own skill set must be taken seriously due to its essential embryonic architectural qualities & behavioral characteristics to forces, environmental Influences & most of all, its primary role of sensory interpretation of human emotions. 2025-06-03 19:28:56 Myofascia Movement Educ.. 35 -45% 2 -48%
Movement is Medicine… is it really ? If exercise is so healthy, why are the vast majority of participants managing injuries sustained whilst exercising ! Movement that requires medical & rehabilitation services so frequently is simply stupid & dysfunctional both mentally and physically. Humans aren’t designed to exercise ! We are however designed to move incredibly well, we have a huge array of capabilities that allows each of us to pursue our very own aspirations, depending on our very uniquely formed selves. So we shouldn’t be correcting repetitive linear exercises,as it’s clear that they are at the heart of people’s individual movement limitations & restrictions. it is widely understood that a more efficient strategy is to focus on spiraling movement patterns, some we release from our habitual activities, as they are inefficient and don’t serve your particular style, while we’ll introduce new movement patterns to establish a more appropriate ability, refined skill that ensures you are capable of managing the consequences of your chosen behavior & modality during our short but important & vibrant lives.

Myofascia Pilates … The Art of Movement Hyper mobility can be quite addictive in the world of artistic movement. However, it’s imperative that as educators we give students the foresight we’ve attained from our acquired hindsight, to manage the consequences of over indulging in flexibility, or worst succumbing to the ramifications of hyper mobility, which can ultimately bring an end to your movement style & potentially create career ending postural dysfunction. Here is an example of how to experience a manageable movement choice that allows you to focus on positioning, sequencing & improve your overall control during a simple exercise, of your hyper mobility.

Squatting is for Kangaroos 🦘 Humans are Uni-Pedal experts ! Don’t sacrifice your natural human characteristics of locomotion & balance for the convenience of wide based movement. Exploring the essence of tensegrity in motion will equip you with a higher sensory experience of how you actually move. Flexing the spine is as necessary as being able to open your eyes. However, how you go about doing it can be the cause of great dysfunction & discomfort. Establishing boundaries that you can use to refine your control within the micro sequence will ensure you have a far better chance of recognizing when things go pair shaped during more elaborate movement choices, allowing you to make adjustments instinctively to prevent potential damage or injuries occurring as they all to often do within the spine.

The amount of people suffering with pelvic issues is astronomical. These conditions are not reserved for just the elderly within our communities, on the contrary, just about every age group of both men & women from their early 20’s suffer with some element of pelvic dysfunction, from incontinence, hemeroids, organ prolapse, prostrate, endometriosis, low back pain, breathing dysfunction, walking limitations or any array of postural or movement limitations you can imagine. I’m certain you’ve already tried many of the classical approaches to restoring structural integrity and improved functionality of this very dynamic area with some success , but all too often these standardised approaches are unsatisfactory in their overall outcome, short term gains are possible but long term chronic situations become all to familiar, as the classical approaches of strengthening in the mythical core, adapting to variations of pelvic tilting, establishing the three dimensional breathing pattern to recruit interdomal pressure, in order to brace and to create lumbar and pelvic stability generally re-enforce the inefficiency, present inhibiting factors and enhance the dysfunction within the pelvic region your trying to address in the first place. It is clearly time to create a more modern approach to movement and rehabilitation in addressing pelvic fitness & healthcare . With this new practical approach comes a more dynamic and interactive descriptive dialogue to explain what we’re actually made of and how we truly influence optimal structural integrity and the longevity of our awesome functionality as we harness a fresher understanding of 21st century human anatomy and physiology. This ensures we restore the natural elasticity and springy characteristics within the very living fabric, we will rely upon to be resilient, vibrant and perform with optimal efficiency for the rest of our lives as we manage our daily task and sporting endeavours. Welcome to the world of “The Pelvic Foot” where living architectural tensegrity enables us to animated our very own unique asymmetrical myofascial form.
