Why centre or neutral?
You want good positioning before you move to connect your movement to a strong centre. In particular, you want to work free of tension in the neck and spine.
Finding your pelvic floor
Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles in your lower tummy is an important part of obtaining core stability, which in turn helps support any issues in your neck or spine.
Fabulous feet 1 – seated
Your feet have a huge influence on the rest of your body. When worked well, they can connect you to your tummy. Try the seated foot exercises first to increase foot dexterity without challenging your balance.
Fabulous feet 2 – standing
Try the foot exercises in standing to improve your balance and coordination, to increase the circulation in your feet and to improve your foot arch which both helps with good posture and supports basic movement.
Lift don’t shift
Muscular imbalances caused by overuse of dominant muscles can contribute to back pain. Learn how to create space in the joints and spine and to isolate into lesser used muscles to create a balanced body by lifting rather than shifting.
