Advanced-training in Malmö (Sweden)The freedom of the head, more functional neck mobilities

Malmö (Sweden) : 8 – 12 April 2026

Teaching will be in English

The freedom of the Head and more functional Neck mobilities …

By finding true verticality, the human being has considerably expanded his field of observation and action. This new orientation in relation to the force of gravity has enabled the development of the entire frontal part of the brain and access to the higher functions of the central nervous system.

The head’s new equilibrium and freedom of movement has led to considerable development of sensory functions, in particular the widening of the visual, auditory and olfactory fields, the perception of relief and the clarity of contours. We will therefore continue to develop the fluidity and efficiency of head movements in all directions of space, enabling it to effectively fulfill its role as a veritable periscope for listening to the world,

The cervico-dorsal joint (C7/D1) fully plays its role as a real pivot,, providing the head with “stable instability” (i.e. holding its balance without having to be restrained by the tension of the neck muscles) and enabling it to be constantly free and connected to the surrounding world, whatever our position and commitment to action.

The balance of the cervico-cranial joint ensures coherent, functional orientation of the head and gaze. It is also very important for the mobility of the soft palate and the development of a free volume inside the mouth.

Moreover, the organs of human expression (whose mobility has been differentiated and refined throughout the evolutionary process of the human species, enabling the development of language, facial mimicry and singing) are highly dependent on the functional mobility of the vertebral joints at each level of the cervical spine.

A very precise link can indeed be established between the shape and dynamic equilibrium of the cervical curve, on the one hand, and the opening/radiation of the throat, mouth and face, enabling great mobility of the organs of articulation and facial mimicry, on the other.

Also, the descent of the larynx, due to its weight, led to the creation of its suspensors (linking it to the various vertebrae of the cervical spine, the lower and upper jaw, the sternum and the clavicles…) The development of the tessitura, the freedom of the voice and the opening of the pharyngeal carrefour. The retreat of the tongue has enabled access to an increasingly differentiated language, in terms of phonetics, color (soft palate, pharynx, etc.) and intonation.

Last but not least, cervical mobility is also necessary to ensure optimum blood supply to the brain (an essential condition for its proper functioning) and efficient transmission of nerve impulses to the whole body.

*****************

During this advance training Fr. Combeau will as usual offer a number of structured and progressive practical situations. He will guide the practitioners into FI practices with always more clarity, detail, and precision. His very interactive way of teaching will give an opportunity to each participant to develop, in a personalized and intimate environment, necessary capacities for practicing the method efficiently, creatively and adapted to the student’s needs.

The main purpose will be to explore and work on “ how we sense, feel, imagine, propose, invite and act “ rather then on “what we do“, François is convinced that the professional training has given to practitioners a wide range of “know how” and ideas, and what everyone needs now is to develop more personal abilities and confidence in what one senses, sees and imagines.

Practitioners whom have already experienced François’s advanced-trainings in Europe and in  the US, have found this style of training to be very efficient in helping them to develop their practice and move to a new level of understanding the work; underlying thinking, ways of acting and the working relationships with their students.
