About this course

Welcome to “Core Stabilization in Massage and Bodywork,” a home study course formerly called “Spine and Postural Muscles.” This name change emphasizes the primary focus of the course: improving core stability throughout the entire body. This home-study course includes . . . . Research shows that stabilization exercises are very effective at reducing chronic pain caused by poor posture and joint instability. They also help with recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and surgeries, and prevent injuries related to movement. Core postural muscles are essential for maintaining joint stability in an upright position and balancing muscle activity. When these muscles weaken, other muscles take over to support unstable joints, leading to compensatory contractures. This can result in chronic myofascial pain, trigger points, and soft tissue injuries from repetitive bending and twisting beyond normal ranges of motion. Why wait until you’re injured to start reaping the benefits of postural muscle training? The simple, practical exercises you’ll learn in this course, if practiced regularly, can enhance your posture and movement efficiency, improve overall health and well-being, and help prevent as well as reduce pain and injuries caused by poor posture and faulty movement patterns. This course is perfect for manual therapists who are also movement teachers or practitioners of any kind. It benefits massage therapists interested in incorporating core stabilization and active somatic patterning techniques into their bodywork practice, to enhance client education and empowerment. It’s ideal for practitioners seeking to integrate core muscle training and neuromuscular patterning (NMP) skills into their hands-on techniques.
