Currently residing in Stow, Massuchesetts, Josef DellaGrotte is one of the world's foremost experts on improving posture-related disorders. Since 1977 when he trained with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais in the process of becoming one of the first certified Feldenkrais practitioners, DellaGrotte has been tirelessly studying the body, working with 1000's of clients, training 100's of practitioners, and evolving a whole new way to approach overall core structural health.
About Core Movement Integration
DellaGrotte's Core Movement Integration method is a breakthrough technology for improving overall structural health with a minimum of effort. After participating in his program, participants reduce, and often eliminate, joint pain (esp. knee, back, neck, elbow, wrist), sit and stand more comfortably and have the experience of a body that truly supports them.
Core Movement Integration is the result of four decades of work by Dr. Josef Dellagrotte. It combines the best techniques and learnings from the past 40 years - from Feldenkrais to recent somatic science - to enable better posture, a stronger core and greater overall health.
Moshe Feldenkrais
Our method is based on the principles of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, biomechanics, exercise physiology and somatic arts and sciences. The key is in connected movement using known biomechanical pathways of movement transmission, a new approach and technology. You begin by learning better body skills that emphasize less push-pull, more flow, with less pain, more gain.
Core Movement Integration is a foundation for all other exercise and performance activities, as well as a therapeutic treatment education for repetitive motion injuries, plus back, hip, knee and shoulder-neck pain or chronic pain. Core Movement Integration works on integration, not isolation, using Dr. Feldenkrais' awareness through movement process.
The program is learned through seminars, DVDs and personal treatment instruction, where possible. The goal is true upright posture, flexibility, enhanced exercise ability for a lifetime of benefits - the way your body was meant to be.
