Teaching Proprioception Using Life Size Bone Models

LIMITED

Saturday June 27, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Description: Life size models of bones can help clients begin to quickly direct themselves and apply the AT principles on their own away from sessions. By giving clients simple, clear information about their bones and how to locate proprioceptively the spaces between their bones, you can help them start to shift away from their traditional concepts of balance, alignment, and posture. Your clients can gain greater confidence, independence, and skill with more agency and reliability.

Joints are lively sites of bony relationships. Stability can be redefined for your clients as whole-person, integrated, and coordinated mobility happening inside their joints, instead of the traditional concept of stability as rigidity through locked joints.

This workshop will introduce new ways of teaching joint proprioception with clarity using bone models and image cueing language. We will include locating relationships between:

• The skull and jaw; and the skull, atlas, and axis.
• The calcaneus, sesamoid bones, and talus.
• The hip sockets and femur.
• The talus, tibia, and femur.
• The clavicle, scapula, and humerus, offering excellent ways to quickly free up that common “tight neck and shoulders” complaint that so many clients bring to their initial AT lessons.
