Integrated Core Conditioning with Paul Chek
November 13, 2010
This course is taught by a world class sports trainer and teaches therapists how core control can be modulated by internal systems, such as the digestive, eliminative, hormonal and limbic. Participants will need an intermediate level knowledge of anatomy and physiology for optimal comprehension of the principles and methods shared by the instructor.
Though there are numerous research papers substantiating viscero-somatic, somatic-somatic, viscero-viscero and somato-somato reflex relationships, current approaches to restoring and optimizing core control typically overlook relevant reflex pathways. Additionally, normal infant development is a requisite for optimal gravitational loading and attenuation of forces. Static and dynamic posture reflect intrinsic balance of the musculoskeletal system and it’s supportive bio-systems. In this lecture/workshop, Paul Chek, HHP will share his clinical experience and approach to optimizing core control through the use of exercise, diet, and stress management methods which are relevant lifestyle factors that may influence core control. Participants will gain relevant theoretical and practical knowledge that can be used immediately to improve any patient’s core control.
Upon completion of this course, you will:
- Understand reflex relationships relevant to core control
- Appreciate the relationship between the enteric nervous system and core modulation.
- Experience infant development exercises and their influence on both core control and posture.
- Explore exercises for progressing patients from isolation exercises into integrative exercises for improved static and dynamic motor function.
