Spinal Stabilization Class- taught by Katrina Barton, PT
This is a beginning class to teach concepts and practical application of spinal stability and core stabilization. It is a type of conditioning based on the most current research into the anatomy and mechanical behavior of our spine and its supporting muscles. The goal of the class is to present basic theory of how the spine is supported, why this is important for daily activities and postures in terms of preventing injury and pain, and to teach simple exercises in a concise and easy to follow program. Although the class is for beginners or for those rehabilitating, the exercises can be modified to compliment any level of performance or any limitations due to pain or positioning.
