Escaping the Productivity Trap: How to Align with Your True Nature - with Shane McDermott 1:04:30

1:04:30

In this conversation, Joanne Avison interviews Shane McDermott, an advanced practitioner, photographer, therapist, and explorer, often referred to as a “contemporary renaissance man”. They introduce the essential difference it makes to understand the human body beyond anatomy - and into archetypes - over time. To begin, they reminisce about meeting 25 years ago while teaching for Tom Myers and reflect on their time training with Caroline Myss, when she first taught Sacred Contracts (Archetypes) in person. Joanne and Shane delve into the transformative impact of understanding archetypes on body work therapy, emphasizing the way we understand time and how it is linked so closely to our life force. When we think we are time bound - we can operate at a level that keeps us on the “hamster wheel”. When we know how our archetypes work, in time, we can access deeper states of being and healing. It is a wonderful introduction to the series on Space and Time that’s coming up soon. Make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss it - and also check out our first episode with Shane released recently - 'Listening vs Hearing: How To Tune Into The World Around You' to put it all into practice.

From Burnout to Balance: Tune Into Your Body 20:56

24 days ago20:56

20:56

Hello everyone and welcome! Today I'm exploring moving from burnout to balance. Whether you're a busy parent, an entrepreneur, a team member, or you just balance a lot, this is for you. Burnout can manifest in many ways, from feeling constantly tired to losing passion for the things you once loved. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent, often giving us signals long before our minds catch up. Tuning in and recognising our own body’s language, can guide us toward tiny adjustments that make huge differences to prevent it. Especially if we honour the internal signals and treat ourselves with compassion. It's so easy to criticise ourselves, especially when we're juggling different roles and tasks and not managing everything perfectly. But self-awareness and compassion are key to finding that balance we seek; productivity might not be the optimum reward! Plus there’s micro things we can do to create a huge difference! So how can we move from burnout to balance? It starts with small, practical steps. Taking time for yourself, establishing boundaries and listening to your body. Certain simple things can make a profound difference. Particularly remembering that moving from burnout to balance is a journey, not a destination - it’s more of a process than an event. It’s worth being patient with yourself; listening to your body, and practicing self-compassion…and using some of these simple tools. Just because they work and you're worth it!

In this episode of The Joanne Avison podcast, Joanne and her guest, Shane McDermott, engage in a deep conversation about the different qualities of listening... Can we listen from the heart? With our hands? As well as our ears? They discuss the four key levels of listening - download listening, factual listening, empathetic listening, and generative listening - and how they impact our perception of reality. It’s a must-hear for everyone - especially those who work with people in a therapeutic or service based way. And Shane shares insights from his diverse studies and experiences, including his work with Otto Harmer, Dr. Ibrahim Karim, and Daniel P. Brown. The conversation emphasizes the importance of listening and how moving beyond self-centric approaches allows us to embrace relational and generative listening, fostering deeper connections with others and innovative solutions to problems. It’s a superb way to tune in to guidance from within. Tune in to enjoy exploring how different listening practices can expand your awareness and transform interactions for yourself, with others...

Healing Diastasis Recti: Simple Movements for Recovery 48:46

Join us to learn three great movements for healing Diastasis Recti. Your body is round and it needs to do what it does naturally, which is breathe, gently spiral and walk - while it heals. Some methods of working with this issue require you to compress and tighten an area that is already in trouble. That’s a bit like shouting at yourself when you fell over and grazed your knee! What you really want is a gentle hand to help you get up and clean the graze and give you a bit of loving kindness!! Here you go - In this episode Paul Thornley and Joanne Avison explain why you DO NOT SHOUT at Diastasis Recti and YOU DO give yourself the right KIND of loving kindness. That way you are gently training over time (instead of straining in overtime) using Nature’s Ground Reaction Force to help you - to find your way back to a more optimum degree of healing. It’s a process - that ensures progress. Wishing your clients and you well in your kind-to-yourself practice. (Your rectus abdominis myofascia will thank you!)

The Lost Connection: How Science Separated Body, Mind & Soul 21:53

8 weeks ago21:53

21:53

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the history of how the study of science in the West separated soma from soul. It has deep implications to our understanding of the intricate relationship between the body and the being that animates it. The notion of soul separation has sparked intense debate, with many seeking to reconcile the principles of science and spirituality. By understanding how the somatic approach was separated from the study of psychology, we can wonder if tapping into the wisdom of our body might foster a deeper connection with our soul. Join Joanne Avison, considering (with compassion for our forefathers) where “soma and soul” were divorced. As we navigate the complexities of biomechanics and understand the fascia matrix, can we uncover hidden secrets about the very nature of our being? By tuning into our body wisdom and recognising that the wisdom of our soul animates it, perhaps we can naturally find a more profound understanding of our true essence and cultivate a more soulful approach to wellness practices and how we can be compassionate with ourselves...

We explore simply smiling or frowning; and observe how it changes the feelings (and our shape!) as a somatic experience. Drawing on her expertise, Joanne examines the integral role of fascia (with easy examples) in fostering a deeper sense of connection between body and mind. By embracing simple, embodied practices and somatic micro movement, (that everyone can do), we can unlock new pathways to emotional relaxation, conscious movement and embodied awareness.

Plantar Fasciitis Myths Debunked: Real Solutions for Foot Pain 27:33

11 weeks ago27:33

27:33

Join Joanne and Paul in this fascinating episode as they share insights - and debunk some common myths - around Plantar Fasciitis . There's often different reasons FOR the pain, and it can need a variety of different treatments depending on the root cause. Sometimes Plantar Fasciitis is blamed on high arches, sometimes on low arches (flat feet). Sometimes there’s shin splints (from overuse) and sometimes lack of motion is blamed. Often it’s hard to know what, where and why you, or a client, might be struggling - it just hurts. So in this episode we're bringing together our decades of experience in treating people and teaching movement, to help unravel this debilitating condition. We explore the intricate architecture of the foot, the various causes behind this painful condition, and why personalized treatment is crucial. We discuss how factors like genetics, early development, and even the type of shoes worn during childhood contribute to the condition. And we share valuable advice on differentiating treatment approaches, the impact of surface interfaces on foot health, and the importance of respecting our body's natural tissue intelligence. We hope you enjoy the conversation and leave it feeling better informed and equipped in dealing with - or preventing - foot pain!

The Gift of Defining Fascia 46:25

13 weeks ago46:25

46:25

For many it’s the season for gifting, and I want to share a very special gift with you, dear Listener! Last year John Sharkey and Mark Flannigan released a gold standard, peer-reviewed research paper which seeks to move us towards an interdisciplinary definition o f fascia , particularly for the benefit of all fascia-focused movement and manual practitioners. It’s an incredible and important piece of work, and so many of you loved hearing about it when I originally released this (in fact it quickly became one of our most listened-to episodes of all time), that I couldn’t resist re-sharing it with you now, for any who missed it or any who want a refresher! Every movement instructor and manual practitioner I meet seeks to help others to move better and feel better. We all strive to do our best within our respective modalities and “scope of practice”. Yet we find the definition of fascia elusive – because it is. It’s elusive to us, to the medical professions and to our clients, when we try to translate what we’re doing and why. Learning about fascia and myofascial behaviours is rapidly becoming essential to all practitioners. Yet where do we start, if we don’t have a definition that makes sense to us all? In this paper these esteemed authors offer some brilliant insights and answers, which I attempt to translate and slightly “storify” for you here, so that regardless of your modality or familiarity with reading research, you’ll feel better informed overall, and inspired and confident to sit down and read it. If you only want a general overview – and can’t wait to read the actual piece – then stop at the 26 minute mark – and go to the paper from there. If you’d enjoy the deeper insights, then keep on to the cliff-hanger at the end! Either way – please gift yourself the paper and ENJOY!! READ THE PAPER ‘Towards a Paramedical Interdisciplinary Definition of Fascia Supporting Practitioners Offering Fascia-Focused Therapies’ – John Sharkey, Mark Flannigan. Published in the International Journal of Anatomy and Applied Physiology (IJAAP) - ISSN: 2572-7451 Shared with kind permission of John Sharkey and Mark Flannigan.

The Number One Mistake Weekend Athletes Make (And How to Fix It) 23:50

Join Joanne and Paul in this engaging conversation, we delve into the crucial topic of RECOVERY for ‘weekend warriors’ - those of us who push the physical limits during our weekends off or find time for only short concentrated stints of activities, whether it’s marathon training, football, sports, HIIT or intense biking…whatever we do at high intensity. Full recovery is often overlooked as unnecessary. It can be under-appreciated - it’s actually ESSENTIAL. We discuss the science of myofascial repair, the perils of overexertion, and the psychological tricks that can easily lead us into overdoing it.
