Foundation training is more than exercise, it becomes a way of life. Poor postural mechanics can contribute to a variety of aches and pains in your body putting undo stress on joints, muscles, nerves etc. The more balanced your structure is, the less pain your body will have and healthier you will be as you continue to age.
Foundation Training focuses on postural reeducation with movement that facilitates decompression while stabilizing your spine through muscular strength utilizing your whole body in gravity allowing all systems of the body to function more efficiently. The focus of the exercise program is to teach your body to move and be stronger utilizing proper body mechanics while maintaining spinal decompression which translates to movement throughout the day saving wear and tear on joints, muscle and tissue. Foundation Training can be done anywhere and does not require any props.
Our advances in technology encourage us to be hunched over screens, devices, steering wheels and desks resulting in poor posture and inadequate strength to push back against gravity. This can lead to degeneration of our joints, inefficiency of our muscles and pain. Our constant forward postures combined with the pull of gravity compress our body which not only affects our spine and joints but the ability of all body systems to function at their most efficient level. The front side of our body becomes tight and the back side of the body weak.Foundation training is about waking up the back side of the body to do what it was meant to do – hold us up in gravity!!!
