Despite honest efforts to create time for your recovery program, sometimes life just get in the way - the kids schedules, work deadlines, household chores, etc. Intensive Coaching programs are designed to remove you from these everyday stressors to create the time and headspace for you to focus on YOU.
If you're looking for a kickstart, or revitalization, of your recovery program:
Training Intensives are a great way to immerse yourself in the work.
What is Integrative movement coaching for spinal cord injury recovery?
The key to increasing body connection and movement after paralyzing injury is leveraging areas of voluntary control to access areas of less (or no) voluntary control. Through a basic understanding of how the body works, fascial connectivity, core stabilization, and full-body participation, you can access your movement potential to help you work towards whatever your goal may be.
Integrative movement coaching sessions teach you about these concepts, both intellectually and experientially:
Discussion of relevant anatomy, biomechanics & movement concepts
Use of sensory tools (vibration, cupping, texture) to help you better feel and sense your body
Dynamically supportive exercise set-ups which allow for safe movement exploration in ranges previously unavailable, without over-restricting movement
Implementation of dynamic resistance for reactive stabilization
Hands-on coaching to direct new movement patterns
Hands-off coaching to increase movement confidence
