Placing your Core-Tex Sit on the floor adds some increased core challenges because the stability provided to the hips from the foot on the floor is reduced. Keeping the torso vertical effectively challenges the core in all directions.
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.
