As qualified Biokineticists we focus on creating a better awareness of one’s body posture, so that it becomes less prone to injuries, whether it is sport related or happens biomechanically during your normal daily activities. The Core Connect Rehab classes are an excellent way of strengthening your hip, core and shoulder stability muscles and preventing lower and upper back pain.
Please consult with our Biokineticists whether the Core Connect Rehab classes can be used as maintenance for your condition or to enhance your functional movement patterns. Exercises can be modified to better suit your specific condtion.
Prior to joining a class, an evaluation and 3 compulsory individual sessions are needed for evaluation purposes. This is to educate the patient on all the basic principles and determining each individual’s compensatory patterns. Strengthening and flexibility will be done accordingly. Core muscle activation of transversus abdominis, obliquus, pelvic floor and multifidus,which is determined by a Biofeedback machine, gives the patient and the Biokineticist reliable feedback and aid in correction and rehabilitation.
The main goal of the Core Connect Rehab classes is to:
- Increase flexibility where there is a muscle shortening;
- Strengthen the weaker muscles forming part of the core;
- Build muscle endurance and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back through controlled movements.
- These classes entail mat and own bodyweight work with or without equipment, e.g. small balls, therabands, small dumbbells, physio balls, steps, ankle weights etc. to further challenge and strengthen the body to cope with normal daily activities or specific sports needs.
