Get To Your Core!

This morning a client told me "Dr. Hoffman…by learning about my core, I finally feel hopeful and more in control of my healtlh!"

So I thought I would share some of her training and education with you.

This whole concept of "Deep Core Amnesia" described in the video below is just as rampant as the "Crossed Posture Syndrome' epidemic (see upper right sidebar) because they are in direct cause and effect relationship!

Both happen as a consequence of stress induced unhealthy aging so you better check yourself NOW before you end up stiff, old, and grumpy!

Enjoy the video and make sure to grab the free video series by either clicking on my CPS picture in the upper right or entering you name and email in the fields below the video!

The approximately 6 month old baby’s position on the left is the same position you got yourself into before you creeped, crawled, or anything else! (called sagittal stability)

This awareness is a prerequisite to good, functional movement and yet according to pediatric neurologists and and physiotherapists from the Czech republic, 1/3 of all children do not develop this ability properly!

The kicker here is that any type of stress tends to create muscle imbalances that cause us, as adults to totally lose connection with this ability.

I call it “deep core amnesia” or DCA for short. DCA is a major problem because, like I said earlier, your inability to anchor your back support zone to the floor causes inefficient and damaging movement patterns that cause overload to your muscles, joints, ligaments, etc.

That's why our first goal at the Core Wellness Institute is to create a renewed awareness of this “Deep Core Stability System” so you can move with strain-free, efficient ease that preserves and protects your joints from damaging overload!

I have created some “self test” videos so you can see if you’ve developed this amnesia yourself! 

Stay tuned to the blog for more info about how you can keep your body moving pain free for as long as you desire! Think good thoughts.  Eat good food.  And KEEP MOVING!

P.S.  My teacher, Dr. Craig Liebenson, has a very good summary article about this whole new paradigm on his blog at http://www.craigliebenson.com/?p=666
