Core-Tex Balance Progressions for Reactive Balance

We often see our Core-Tex family assume upright balance training on Core-Tex goes from two hands on the handrail to hands free and no use of the handrail.  In other words, going from the most help to the least help. This may lead to a misinterpretation of Core-Tex being "too advanced" and a missed opportunity to scale your balance progressions in a way that allows the user to be successful.

With this video, we will share with you 12 progressions to use with your patients, clients or yourself that maximize the the reactive balance benefits of Core-Tex.  

As a reminder, there are benefits achieved with reactive balance training that are not achieved with conventional balance training.  These benefits were found in several studies, including the study that we posted HERE.

These 12 progressions are easily scalable for programming with users of all ages and abilities. We have seen these progressions or parts of these progressions successfully used with neurological disease, vestibular issues, stroke, hip/knee replacements, post concussion and active aging.

Adding the principles of movement variability to quadruped progressions using Core-Tex is an effective and efficient way to produce benefits you won't get from the ground. The quadruped position on Core-Tex introduces a dynamic environment for core and spinal stabilization that produces reactive muscle activity and associated variability. This means your muscles are training to turn on faster to protect your spine when needed.
We are thrilled to receive this feedback from Hands of Hope Physical Therapy and Wellness.  Beginning in 2023, Hands of Hope began utilizing Core-Tex in 10 of their clinics in the greater New York metropolitan area.  
We take 3 "known" exercises and show you how much more exponential value you get from doing them on Core-Tex. The patented motion provides movement opportunities that can not be reproduced on the ground or any other product.
