Decompress Your Spine & Life
Instructor: Kelly Kane
Description: Low back pain is often the result of compression; from gravity, internal physical restrictions, sedentary lifestyles and stress from modern living. This workshop will look at compressive forces that affect the low back and tools to facilitate decompression. We will also review pelvic assessment and explore a protocol of Pilates exercises to correct pelvic imbalances. We will explore how to decompress the lumbar spine through breathing exercises and learn to lengthen and strengthen the psoas and iliacus, mobilize the posterior abdominal fascia and help ourselves and our clients find balance in their SI joints.

LifeLong Pilates & The Body
