Strong Legs, Healthy Knees

This workshop is for teachers and students alike.By experiencing the relationships within your own body rather than simply learning them from a diagram, you can begin to develop a much richer understanding of your and your students you see in practice.

The knee is often described as a hinge joint, in reality, its function is far more interesting and complex than simply bending and straightening.

Positioned between the foot and ankle below and the hip and pelvis above, the knee continually responding to movement and forces travelling through the body in both directions. What happens at the foot can influence the knee; what happens at the hip can influence the knee; and changes at the knee itself can alter the way the whole lower limb and wider body moves. You will  experience for yourself through embodied anatomy and movement exploration, you will begin to feel how changes elsewhere in the lower limb and beyond can influence what happens at the knee.
