MOBILITY ASSESSMENT

The FROM TEST

The FROM TEST consists of 50 different tests of all the major movements of the body. The test is performed at the beginning of each Lyno session, and leads us straight to the areas of fascia restriction and where unresolved trauma is stored in the body. Fascia restrictions cause entrapment and dysfunction of all the structures embedded in the area, including muscles, tendons, joints, neural and vascular tissue and visceral organs, resulting in chronic pain and recurring injuries.

FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT

The BUNKIE TEST

The BUNKIE TEST consists of 5 different tests to measure core function. We use this test specifically in cases where optimum body function is required for example with sport clients. The plank positions used in this test, points to the 4 linear lines and the results show the effect of fascia restrictions on functionality. Clients are required to hold each position for 30 seconds and we score each test as soon as we notice any compensation in form or if the client experiences any form of discomfort.

The LYNO APP

A digital scoring and analysing tool

The LYNO APP provides us with a digital goniometer to measure the FROM TEST and a timer to score the BUNKIE TEST. The scores are analysed with built-in algorithms and transformed into a treatment plan which guides the practitioner to the exact areas or patterns of fascia restriction. The Fascia Mobility Profile gives the client a clear indication of the extent of their immobility. The APP offers our practitioners a highly scientific and professional approach to therapy and the unidentifiable data provides an unlimited source for research.

The TECHNIQUE

Fascia Release

The LYNO technique targets the parasympathetic nervous system to facilitate the release of unresolved trauma. With a light stroke over skin or a thin layer of clothing, combined with gentle breathing and active movement of the muscles in the area, we aim to increase the tone of the Vagus nerve, which is essential in the process of healing. Diminished tone of the Vagus nerve, causes the body to remain in the survival mode of fight, flight and freeze and leads to chronic pain, disease and injuries.

YELLOW PAGE WEDGES

Balancing the body

The YELLOW PAGE WEDGE tool was originally developed in the 80's by the late dr Ron Holder, chiropractor and applied kinesiologist, to balance athletes who struggled with chronic injuries due to non-alignment. The method is based on the activation of the proprioceptors, the neuroceptors which informs the brain of the position of the body in relation to the centre of gravity. Fascia restrictions cause non-alignment of the body and dysfunctional movement. By using this technique, we manipulate the proprioceptors by placing thin paper wedges under specific parts of the feet to create alignment and balance. We use the technique only in the early stages of LYNO as it becomes unnecessary once the fascia restrictions disappear.
