Are you having issues with your low back?
What You Feel in Your Back May Be Related to Your Hip Joints
Chances are your hip joints are probably involved as well as your back. In the following video Keira, an *ABM practitioner from Calgary, wanted to learn a technique that she could use with clients with low back issues. She also wanted to feel improvements in her own organization. Together we explore how inputting sensory information through the nervous system can help the brain learn more functional and comfortable patterns of movement. Watch the following video and notice how quickly changes can take place when the brain is given the right kind of information.
*ABM is the Anat Baniel Method developed by Anat Baniel who was a student of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.
Core strength is really about core organization. For any movement to be easy your brain must direct the muscles fibre involved to fire in a certain order and allow the work of the movement to be spread proportionally throughout the entire body. When this happens the action is effortless, and we feel strong. If muscles don’t fire in the right order and/or too strongly and other muscles don’t fire at all we feel weak. So, it’s all about timing.
