Description

Biomechanics-based program which addresses our posture, alignment, and movement patterns to restore optimal function and health to all of our systems. Many of us don’t realize that a majority of the chronic pain, injury, and disease we experience is directly connected to our poor alignment and movement patterns. The way we use our bodies is a main determinant of whether we’re simply surviving or actually thriving in our bodies, and is largely responsible for how gracefully we’ll age later in life. The new word on the street is that movement and alignment has everything to do with our health, from the micro-level of cellular regeneration to the macro-level of pain, disease, and dysfunction.Created by amazing biomechanist Katy Bowman, Restorative Exercise™ addresses your whole body alignment from the ground up and gives you the tools to restore your body back to wellness. In a typical RE session we will assess your posture, your current joint ranges of motion, strength-to-weight ratios, and reflex-driven motor skills, and we’ll prescribe specific corrective exercises to target your body’s imbalances. This work includes stretching and strengthening similar to what you’d think of with yoga, pilates, etc., but the exercises are based on biomechanics (the science of how the body moves) and instead of doing them for just an hour or so on your yoga mat, we integrate them throughout our day to keep the body moving and circulation flowing all day long.RE is designed to bring balance and integrity back to your structure and will vastly benefit all bodies, regardless of whether you have pain or not. But some specific conditions that RE can help with are:-chronic muscle & joint pain (think knees, hips, back, shoulders, neck…)-osteoporosis / bone density issues-osteoarthritis / joint degeneration issues-hyperkyphosis-high blood pressure-low metabolism-digestive issues-psoas pain & dysfunction-pelvic floor disorders, including:     -leaking when coughing/sneezing     -organ prolapse     -painful menstrual cramps     -pelvic pain     -prostate issuesIntegrating the practice of RE into your life will move you toward increased metabolism, increased circulation of blood and lymph through all of your tissues, increased somatic control of your entire body, and optimal wellness.http://www.restorativeexercise.com/
