1 ASTON KINETICS: THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE BODY ARE ASYMMETRICAL 1 It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to my presentation of Aston Kinetics. This presentation will introduce you to basic concepts of the Aston paradigm. Judith Aston, MFA Founder and Director of Aston Kinetics Aston Kinetics 2 Objective: To investigate the effects of the asymmetrical body on structure and function. Aston Kinetics 3
2 1. Asymmetry from true limitations are: a. Temporary b. Emotionally based c. Present throughout life 2. The right side of the body should function the same as the left side. a. True b. False 3. Most asymmetry in the body can be corrected through exercise. a. True b. False Aston Kinetics 4 Our work as therapists most directly changes a. Natural Asymmetry b. Compensatory Adaptations c. True Limitations 5. From the front view, a vertical line through the center of gravity of the body will: a. Divide the body into an equal right and left half b. Be closer to the left c. Demonstrate the placement of body segments to each other. 6. To minimize the negative effect of asymmetry while reaching, lifting, or pushing: a. Start from your neutral b. Use GRF to maximize your body s length c. Allow each side of the body to be unique d. All of the above Aston Kinetics 5 Experiential Pretests In standing, exhale first, then count the number of seconds it takes you to fully inhale. 2. In standing, where do you feel your body s weight-bearing on your feet: In your heels, the lateral aspects of the foot, or centered more on your left foot than right? Aston Kinetics 6
3 Caution Be responsible You know your body best. This presentation includes movement designs to illustrate my theories in action. These movement designs will ask you to evaluate your range of motion for your head, arm rotations, etc. Please use caution if you know you have certain limitations. Do not do them if you have any concerns or constraints. Aston Kinetics 7 Common Beliefs Aston Kinetics 8 Common Belief #1 Asymmetrical Not balanced or regularly arranged around a central point. Symmetrical A correspondence in size, shape and relative positions of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or median plane or about a central axis. Aston Kinetics 9
4 Common Belief #2 When the right and left sides of the body are symmetrical, each side will rotate around that central axis. Aston Kinetics 10 Common Belief #3 Good posture is when the body segments are aligned with the vertical plumb line bisects the lateral malleolus. Aston Kinetics 11 Some of my observations and the questions that followed: I had never seen a body that was truly symmetrical. Aston Kinetics 12
5 What people think of as good posture seems to encourage holding patterns using effort to sustain the position Illustration copyright 1998 Aston Postural Assessment Workbook 13 When the body is centered in line with the lateral malleolus, this centers the body over the posterior half of the foot. The foot design is asymmetrical We do have a forefoot but we do not have an aft foot. Shouldn't the weight of the body be centered over the whole foot? Aston Kinetics 14 I also wondered why I saw more people centered closer to their left foot rather than in the middle onto both feet. 15 Illustration all rights reserved Aston Kinetics
6 A light bulb moment Aha!!! The body appears more symmetrical through the superficial layers from skin, to muscles, to the skeleton, generally with the same number of muscles and bones on the right side as the left side.

8 Chest and Abdomen Esophagus Trachea Spinal Cord Spinal Column Kidney Ascending Colon Rectum Larynx Lung Sternum Heart Diaphragm Liver Gallbladder Stomach Transverse Colon Coils of Small Intestine 22 I wondered what would we look like, if we had a symmetrical number of organs, I.e. one liver on the right and one liver on the left side, etc.? Illustrations all rights reserved Aston Kinetics 23 I formulated the concept of three types of asymmetry: I. Natural Asymmetry II. True Limitations III. Compensatory Adaptations Aston Kinetics 24
9 I. Natural Asymmetry The givens at birth from the influences of developing through and around the organs of different shape, weight, size, placement, number and function. As well as our genetics and how we develop inutero. Aston Kinetics 25 True Limitations Those permanent changes from injury i.e. losing a lung from a car accident, surgery, or birth anomalies, such as being born without a hand. Aston Kinetics 26 III. Compensatory Adaptations Include compensations from the natural, and true limitations as well as patterns of body use. Aston Kinetics 27
10 Activities emphasize one side i.e. fencing, golf, tennis and personal habits of usage. Copyright Institute for Plastination. All rights reserved.

13 ASTON CONCEPT OF STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL HOLDING PATTERNS Functional Holding Patterns Can occur from any repetitive action. Can be released more easily the sooner it is neutralized after the activity. Structural Holding Patterns Functional over a log period of time chronic patterns become adhered and dehydrated or from an incident as in an accident. Aston Kinetics 37 What skills do therapists, trainers and teachers need to match or change asymmetry? I believe every teacher must have visual and palpation skills to evaluate their client s patterns and limitations. Aston Kinetics 38 Three Aston Assessment Skills 1. Visual: Seeing body patterns in three dimensions. Aston Kinetics 39
14 A B The three-dimensional body requires visual assessment in all three planes. Shear created by Shifts in the horizontal planes. Body segments shifted to the right or left Illustrations copyright 1998 Aston Postural Assessment Workbook 40 C D Shifts in the horizontal plane- creating shear Body segments shifted forward or back Illustrations copyright 1998 Aston Postural Assessment Workbook 41 A B Aston Notation System Examples: Tilts - high and Low creating Compressive and tensile forces. Illustrations copyright 1998 Aston Postural Assessment Workbook 42
15 2. PALPATION SKILLS The ability to palpate to read the tonicity of the body s tissues. Assessing the hypertone/hypotone pattern of the body s tissues. Assessing the hyper/hypo mobility of the joints. Aston Kinetics 43 Skilled in Techniques: Acquiring techniques for facilitating change and learning to use asymmetry through: Movement designs: for neutralizing unnecessary stress patterns. Bodywork skills for releasing holding patterns Aston Kinetics 44 c. Ability to modify and apply changes to client s daily activities (yoga, pilates, fitness, etc.) d. Ability to modify environmental factors of product design. Aston Kinetics 45

18 Movement Designs To Identify, Change And Use Your Asymmetry Aston Kinetics 52 Gravity and Ground Reaction Gravity: is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to their mass. Gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Ground Reaction Force: In physics and in particular in biomechanics the ground reaction force (GRF) is the force exerted by the ground on a body in contact with it.1.) For example, a person standing on the ground exerts a contact force on it (equal to the person's weight) and at the same time an equal and opposite ground reaction force is exerted by the ground on the person.

Use GRF first when setting up for any lifting, reaching. pushing, pulling action to optimize your movement. Aston Kinetics 81
