Sunday, October 24 10:00am to 5:30pm - Core Integration with Arthur Madore
Instructor: Arthur Madore, LMT, CNMT; Instructor for the Core Integration Program
Enhance your therapy skills by adding integration of movement, hands on and exercise.
All activities of daily life are made easier when the Core pathways ( through pelvis, low back and ribs) move properly without strain, pain or restriction. In this workshop we look at how addressing of key core muscles can reduce low back pain, and improve functional movement. For each comfortable position of our low back you will learn the corresponding position of the pelvis and ribs.
The large muscles of the legs, (quads, TFL, adductors, and hamstrings) control the position of the pelvis from below. The posterior hip muscles control the pelvis from the back. The iliopsoas and abdominals play a large role in pulling the spine from the front. The low back muscles (erectors, multifidis, and quadratus lumborum) often react to the tightness of these other three muscle groups. Relaxing these muscles and connecting them to the Core Integration pathways is a powerful combination that greatly enhances the effects of conventional therapies.
You will learn:
- How to connect the release (by massage, manipulation, etc) of lumbar muscles to core movement of the low back.
- Self care exercises to educate your client to maintain good low back movement and stay out of pain.
- Learn how specific movement pathways can facilitate release of the connected muscles with far less effort.
Tuition: $125 Call for information, 978-461-0221.
