Diagonal pelvic tilts on the Core-Tex Sit may appear simple, but they’re often one of the most challenging and rewarding movements to master. While many users quickly get the hang of front-to-back and side-to-side pelvic motions, moving on a diagonal requires a higher level of motor control and body awareness—especially when it comes to isolating pelvic and lower back movement from the rib cage and upper torso.
The study confirms that prolonged sitting without movement increases strain on the body and can lead to dysfunctional movement patterns. But it also highlights a simple, actionable solution: introduce small, varied movements throughout your day.
The team at Seven Movements, along with the researchers they have partnered with at the University of British Columbia are tackling the movement challenges of Parkinson's disease through "micro dosing" movement.
Pilates practitioner, Mary Ascension Saulnier from Los Angeles utilized Core-Tex Sit with her client who had been experiencing sciatic pain. Positioning the trunk and upper extremities vertically and horizontally with the hands anchored allows Core-Tex Sit to contribute to some very beneficial movements of the pelvis and lower back.
In this video, we demonstrate alternate heel raises to engage the core and promote micro movements of Core-Tex Sit. By incorporating this marching motion, you actively generate those additional micro movements that require muscle activity to benefit your lower back, spine, and hips.
Scoliosis, a common spinal condition, affects the alignment and curvature of the spine. It can cause you discomfort and potentially impact the quality of your life. In this blog post, we will explore the basic biomechanics of scoliosis, shedding light on how exercise and the use of Core-Tex Sit can be beneficial in managing this condition.
