Our advanced webinars on Muscle Pattern Re-Organization.

​

Are your client’s core muscles prepared for proper strengthening?

A very important concept to understand and to treat prior to strengthening is to identify underlying tonic muscular patterns causing  muscle imbalances and resolve them.  Developing a treatment strategy to unlock these tonic patterns is a vital first step prio to strengthening. 

These underlying tonic muscular patterns are held in place by a mechanism in which the threshold positon of the mechanorecetors (muscle spindles) is altered. 

Since proprioceptive signals are interpreted in reference to the threshold limb position. and our muscles react to each other using  activation patterns dictated by this altered threshold position  global kinematic and kinetic changes occur which can create what I call “Muscle Confusion” leading to muscle and joint pain.  
By resetting the threshold position, the nervous system appropriately adjusts kinesthetic sense normalizing motor action.

 

​These muscle mechanoreceptors need only intervene during a limited time to force intrinsic changes in the system.

Since the fundamental role of the mechanoreceptors is intermuscular interaction and cooperation, resetting the threshold positon prior to begining a strengthing program is imperative.

​These imbalances can become locked in place by underying tonic musular patterns and these tonic patterns are controlled by the ANS.  Addressing the ANS is also vital when beginning a corrective exercise protocol. 

As far back as 1988 a research article published in the Journal of Physical Therapy demonstrated that the state of the Autonomic Nervous System can be an accurate predictor of the level of success with manual therapy sessions.

​One of Our Main Goals is to Give Our Patients the Tools and knowledge to Optimize Their Spinal Health.  

​Just for considering our system and training we are giving a free gift to help you educate your patients on spinal health.
​
It is as important for our patients to know what not to do as it is for them to know what to do. 

60%-80% of back pain sufferers have a recurrence within two years.

This is not necessarily a treatment failure, it's usually a lack of education on body mechanics and self management. 

​When I was with the Intel Corporation I developed an educational injury prevention program that proved to be very successful.  I created anatomical animations in order to capture the attention of the employees as well as give them a window into the body to see how tissue damage can occur through poor postures and poor body mechanics.
​
Scroll to the bottom of the page and download this great educational tool which can be used to demonstrate and illustrate the detrimental effects of poor postures and how these poor postures can cause disc injuries.

 ​

With our sequential proprioceptive specific Muscle Pattern Re-Organization approach you will be able to give your clients the most advanced and comprehensive spinal treatment and core strengthening in our field today.

Section 1: ​​Our System

​

Take a look at the components of our proprietary Core Board​.

  Core Board Demonstration.

To best demonstrate our system you will see an actual patients success story.   This patient was suffering from back pain associated with congenital Schmorl's nodes. This is a great example of how our system demonstrated results in facilitating improved disc health after all other conventional physical therapy approaches failed. 

 This is a short demonstration of a few of the exercises you can perform on our Core Board.  Once you purchase our webinar package you will receive more detail about these exercises along with many more very powerful core exercises.

Section 2:  Restoration of Spinal Mobility and Deep Core Strengthening

​

​These muscles have 4-5 times as many mechanoreceptors than the larger outer core muscles. So not only are these small deep muscles responsible for controlling and stabilizing segmental motor control they have the major responsibility for controlling the larger more powerful outer core musculature.

---

​

​
​The different size proprio-pads and resistance bands will provide your clients with a fulcrum and the proprioceptive feedback to ensure correct and repeatable movement patterns.  This exercise can be progressed to isolated outer core strengthening with resisted Rectus Abdominus, Oblique, and TA strengthening while the spine remains unloaded. 

Our protocol is initiated with deep core segmental movement  performed while the spine is unloaded.  This not only provides mobilization to the vertebrae it will safely initiate segmental movement. Restoring these natural segmental movements in a safe unloaded position helps to facilitate the disc pump mechanism which is the body's natural mechanism for providing the discs with nutrition through mechanical fluid exchange.

​Restoring Functional Pelvic Rotation/ Unilateral Multifidus Training

The Clinical Significance of Restoring Lumbo-Pelvic Rotational Synergy.

1.  Re-establishing and optimizing the mechanics of the gait cycle.

This exercise is a very powerful and important exercise as this movement pattern re-establishes the functional rotational movements associated with the oblique axis's of the sacrum.  Our lumbar spine was designed to move segmentally in synergy with the sacrum and pelvis.  We utilized the most functional movement of the lumbo-pelvic region and re-pattern, or re-establish, the natural biomechanics that occur during the gait cycle. This is the only system that provides resisted unilateral isolated​ Multifidus strengthening. With the use of the proprio-pads and resistance bands your clients will get the proprioceptive feedback to isolate these muscles.  This exercise is initiated with isolated unilateral Multifidus strengthening and progressed through Muscle Pattern Re-Organization restoring the synergy of the Oblique's and TA with the deep core while performing functional rotation/de-rotation of the pelvis. 

2.  Reducing the loads on the lumbar discs.

Clinical studies reveal that a rhythm with high pelvic rotation and low lumbar flexion involved more global muscles and increases the role of the disc in resisting spinal loads while its counterpart, with low pelvic rotation, recruits more local muscles and engages the ligaments to lower the disc loads.  On the other hand, restoring a normal rhythm that has balanced pelvic and lumbar rotations yields almost equal disc and ligament load-sharing and results in more balanced synergy between global and local muscles. This demonstrates that the spinal response during movements that involve loading the discs is highly dependent on the lumbo-pelvic rhythm.

Our system is the only system in our field today that allows for isolated unilateral resisted strengthening of the Multifidus in an unloaded position. The literature is filled with research on the importance of this deep core stability.  Here are just a few.

  Restoring True Core Stability.

​The oblique orientation of the Multifidus muscles provide deep core stability because they act as cross struts.  Without this segmental cross strut stabilization we will not have true core stability. 

---

​I use the analogy of a bridge fabricated from metal beams.  Without the cross struts the bridge would collapse when any stress placed on it.  When it comes to the importance of the Multifidus in stabilizing the spine this is a perfect example of their structural importance.  

---

​Strengthening the Erector Spinae, Rectus Femoris and the other outer core muscles without the structural support of the intrinsic deep segmental muscles would be like building a bridge without cross struts. Although the TA and Oblique's can also act as cross struts for the trunk they have no direct control over the segmental stability therefore do not help restore optimal spinal biomechanics. So having strong Oblique's and TA muscles without having deep core segmental stability can lead to continued dysfunction. ​

Section 3: Optimizing Synergy Between the Deep Core and Outer Core Muscles
​

We do the Sexy Muscles Second!

After re-awakening the deep core musculature we then focus on restoring the synergy between the deep core muscles and the outer core. 

Initiating advanced outer core trunk control in a safe unloaded position and with the use of the resistance bands will  help restore the synergy of the intermediate core musculature and the deep core musculature. We do this by challenging the intermediate core to stabilize the spine in a very functional single leg support position, restoring the natural synergy between all the core muscles.

Section 4:   Advanced Exercises

You will learn advanced core strengthening protocols and sports specific training.

It is the ability of the muscle system to rapidly fire an antagonist or synergistic muscle that will protect the underlying joints and soft tissue structures from injury.   When it comes to protecting against injury we must incorporate proprioceptive specific ​rapid transitional movements.  You will learn   advanced exercises focusing on re-establishing and optimizing rapid transitional movements of the deep core and trunk musculature.

Section 5: Unloading/Decompression

1.  Unloading decreases pain improving proprioceptive input from the involved musculature leading to optimal strength gains. 

2.  ​Re-establishing fluid exchange to the discs is the only way to facilitate healing and maintain the health of the discs.  Unloading combined with restoring segmental spinal movement facilitates the natural spinal disc pump optimizing nutrition and fluid exchange.

Section 6

​Scoliosis Protocol/Take the Torsion Out! 

Scoliosis in not just a lateral curve of the spine. There is a three dimensional biomechanical component to scoliosis that must be addressed.  The spine twists and torsions which can be seen in the rib hump.  This torsion creates increased nerve tension further exacerbating the scoliosis and pain.  We have a simple technique to reduce the torsion while exercising our scoliosis patients.  This technique has proven to benefit our patients with scoliosis. 

You will learn this simple technique to "take the torsion out"

​Deep Core Stabilization/Disc Protocol 

This deep core stabilization/disc protocol gently re establishes segmental movement while protecting the injured disc. Conventional spinal stabilization focuses on the TA and the Oblique's in order to promote the corset affect.  This corset affect will help to stabilize the lumbar spine through a conscious effort to hinge from the hips and maintain a co-contraction between these outer corset muscles and the paraspinals.  But our true stability must take place at the segmental level.  This protocol re-establishes motor control of the Multifidus first in order to truly control and protect the disc injuries. Through a series of gentle movements followed initially by isometric contractions of the Multifidus.   This protocol will re-establish proper motor control of the deep core muscles.  We then progress to dynamic segmental movements to re-establish the synergy of the TA and the Oblique's to work together with these deep core muscles. 

​You will receive this protocol.
