Description
This video course is designed for those suffering from back pain. Learn how to release your tight and locked short muscles and strengthen the weak and locked long muscles. The hip flexors (psoas and iliacus), diaphragm, and piriformis have home release videos to follow. Core training from the basics to more advanced is presented in a progression. The last lesson has a series of Pilates exercises to keep the core strength momentum going.  Stephen Dunn is a licensed Physical Therapist since 1998 in the states of Louisiana, California, and Texas. He specializes in treating back pain and spinal injuries. Certified in Manual Therapy, Pilates, and Gyrotonic, Stephen brings a unique approach to his patients by combining Myofascial Release, and Cranial-Sacral Therapy with mindful movement on the Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment One of the most common things that Stephen sees in his patients in Austin / Westlake Hills, Texas with back pain is an increased lumbar lordosis or swayback. This is caused by tight hip flexors and a weak core, in particular the multifidus. This video course will address the lumbar swayback and finally give you a plan to improve your posture. If you sit too much, bend poorly from the back instead of the hips and knees, or arch or sway your back in an attempt to sit or stand tall, then this course is for you.
