Core stabilization home-study courses
for self-motivated learners, movement educators, and manual therapists
Core Stabilization for a Pain-Free Posture: Level 1
10 videos (10-15 minutes each)
This course is designed for anyone interested in exploring the healing potential of understanding their muscles and joints. By following a 10-step protocol for activating core muscles, you can use your body as a learning laboratory. This course is perfect for enhancing self-care, body mechanics, and posture. It provides empowering solutions for chronic back pain, specifically tailored for active individuals and self-motivated learners.
Posture Assessment and Client Education: Level 2
8 videos (5 to 10 minutes each)
This program is for movement educators and manual therapists. It provides educational protocol for making postural assessments with students and clients, guiding them through core activation exercises and basic movement exercises. It’s ideal for dance, Pilates, and yoga instructors, personal trainers, and any teacher wanting kinesiology-based exercises for teaching about muscle and joint mechanics.
Core Stabilization in Massage and Bodywork: Level 3
10 videos (10 to 20 minutes each)
This level is designed for licensed massage therapists, bodyworkers, and manual therapists who have completed Level 1 as a prerequisite. It shows massage therapists, bodyworkers, and manual therapists how to integrate core stabilization exercises into manual therapy using neuromuscular patterning (NMP) skills and active movement techniques.

What makes this approach unique?
Core stabilization originates from cutting-edge medical research conducted by physical therapists, who are exploring the connection between chronic pain and joint instability, as well as more effective treatment approaches. I have learned many of these core exercises during my training in somatic movement therapies. This research not only confirms the benefits of core muscle training but also explains the science behind it.
What distinguishes this approach from traditional physical therapy is that instead of concentrating on a single muscle, we seek to activate the entire postural muscle system. This comprehensive method focuses on enhancing overall body patterns rather than just one area.
Postural flute muscles
About core activation exercises and the “postural flute"
Core activation exercises utilize specific isometric contractions or small range movements to engage each postural muscle effectively. The “postural flute” is an easy-to-remember analogy I created for training the core muscles, similar to how notes are played on a flute, from the bottom up. Each level of my home-study courses is centered around the postural flute protocol. First, we focus on individual muscles; then, on coordinating them as a system.
Just like a flute, if any note is out of tune, the entire sound is affected. Similarly, if any postural muscle fails to perform its function, it disrupts the entire body’s balance. Conversely, training that muscle benefits the whole body by improving support of the entire core stabilization system.
The postural flute routine is presented in Level 1 as a 10-step protocol for relieving back pain and promoting overall balance and centeredness of both body and mind. To sample it, go to an introductory video on my YouTube channel titled
"10 Steps for Pain-Free Posture."
Here is an overview of the 10-step protocol:
-
Stability tests for hips and spine
-
Skeletal support and joint neutral
-
Transversus abdominis and perineum
-
Diaphragm and breathing
-
Psoas and flexor chain
-
Multifidus and extensor chain
-
Obliques and ribcage
-
Trapezius and scapula neutral
-
Upper-lower cervical
-
Co-contractions and integration
