Regaining a Flexible Spine /A Feldenkrais Model. #20-301458 – 2 CEs for LMTs Movement requires an even give and take between opposing muscles, the agonists and antagonists. When one set of muscles stay tight, then fluid, easy movement disappears. Efficient functional movement of the spine requires even muscular tonus between flexor and extensor muscles of the torso and an even distribution of effort throughout the action. The concept of mobilizing the thoracic spine, that which houses the rib cage, is essential. Participants will demonstrate the importance of mobility throughout the torso in order to protect the lower back. The concept of counterbalance will be discussed.
