Antoine "Cerveau Musclé”, Douleurs Chroniques, Posture, Kinésithérapie || Episode #69 [FR]
Antoine dit “Cerveau Musclé” sur Instagram est kinésithérapeute à Paris.
Biographie: “Antoine dit « CerveauMusclé » sur Instagram, 26ans, kinésithérapeute en libéral en banlieue parisienne depuis 3ans. Titulaire d’un Master 2 Psychologie & Contrôle Moteur. J’ai ouvert mon compte Instagram vers octobre 2018. Initialement je proposais seulement des vidéos d’exercices pour mes patients. Et je cassais les pieds aux kinésithérapeutes d’insta, sur parfois ce qu’ils pouvaient dire. Etant très branché science, je me suis rendu compte, sous les encouragements et l’impulsion de MajorMouvement, que je pouvais en faire un compte : remettre en cause les techniques de kiné, les croyances (« Tiens toi droit » « Plie tes genoux pour soulever qqchose » « Les hernies c’est grave ») et voilà où j’en suis aujourd’hui.”

Brian Kozak, Oxygen & Performance, NIRS, Respiratory Training, Breathing || Episode #61 [EN]
Health & Performance Coach, Breathing Specialist, Moxy CTC and Program Developer, Hatha Yoga Instructor - Institute of Inner Science, Hockey Coach Advanced Level 1, Honors Fitness and Nutrition, Aboriginal Education Teacher
Brian has many years of experiential learning seeking out experts in all fields to share ideas and 'play' - meaning increasing perception & clarity for all.
Brian: "Since I can remember, my favorite word is why? This seeking to know through experience led me to a JR A Hockey Championship with Orland Kurtenbach, a great hockey coach mentor, the person who taught me 'what it takes to win' and to a realization: that what I think I know is but a drop in the bucket. Thus the ever-evolving student emerged, learning new skills to better train athletes and coach hockey, plus search for new mentors...which led me to Juerg Feldmann. Juerg introduced me to leading-edge technology and 'how to play at a new level' - integrating technology, health, and performance. I then took a so-called left turn and immersed myself in Classical Hatha Yoga at the Isha Ashram in southern India to learn eastern Yogic ideas on the physical, mental/emotional and energy. Back in North America, I began a 2-year search for a 'new Juerg' to work with...to share ideas, argue, assess and ultimately to share with all - I found not one, but two :) Aaron Davis & Patrick Estes"
