Are you concerned about your body condition, rising medical costs, and how to stay well and fit--for life?
Dellagrotte Core Movement Integration is a revolutionary program for optimizing body movement efficiency, fitness and wellness...a significant cut above and beyond conventional and alternative models. It can dramatically reduce both body compromising and aging disorders such as arthritis, pain syndromes and deteriorating joints. (Replacements are both costly and further limit normal functioning.) The essential keys are movement awareness with total body integrated core movement pathway exercises
(based on neuroscience, biomechanics and myofascial movement flow).

New Training Program--ONGOING
A Personal Training Program: Optimizing Your Body Condition–for Life! [100 hours]
With Josef DellaGrotte and assistants.
Based on a Combination of Core Movement "Pathways," Feldenkrais Movement Awareness, Body Biomechanics & Myofascial Energy Transmission Core Movement Integration and Josef DellaGrotte are excited to offer a Program of this kind; it is open to all who recognize the critical importance of core-organized movement, postural alignment and exercise as necessities—not optional—for well-being, living pain-free (reducing the now commonly-assumed normalcy of arthritis), being more mobile and fit to do the things one wants to do…until our last days! We have integrated the principles of Feldenkrais, Yoga, Tai Chi, plus fascial anatomy and biomechanics into what we now call "Core Movement Integration" (CMI).
The Benefits (What You Will Learn):
You will learn the essential movement lessons and exercises to maintain and improve the back, hips, spine, shoulder, head and neck. More specifically, learn:
- the basics of movement and what makes it work best: the 6 major core movement pathways (vectors) and muscle-fascia anatomy.
- how to use your own hands to ‘read’ and get the feel of movement direction.
- about psychophysical factors that affect the body—the interface between self image, emotion and body target areas.
Participants who develop an interest in teaching CMI classes can continue with a short supplementary program and be certified, or can continue into our full certification program of 300 hours.
The Structure (Here Is How It Works):
- Take our scheduled 1- or 2-day workshops/seminars on the functional movement essentials: Core Pelvic Support; Sitting, Shoulder-Arms; Spine, Walking.
- Take weekly classes/workshops with our approved certified teachers in this Program.
- Receive an assessment and personal planning, or goal setting session, with Josef DellaGrotte, or approved Program teacher.
- Accumulate hours as you can…there is no specific time line to completion.
View upcoming workshops, seminars and classes on this page; more will be added as needed.
The Program Director is Josef DellaGrotte, PhD, CFP, LMT, Mphysio (978-461-0221). The Program Administrator is Suzy Merriam, LMT (401-225-9377).
To Register:
