Healing Diastasis Recti: Simple Movements for Recovery

02/12/25 • 48 min

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

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...

Listening vs Hearing: How to Tune Into the World Around You

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... It’s truly a game-changer!
