In this session, you will discover why so many clients have back and knee pain stemming from overtraining the psoas and undertraining the gluteus. Muscle and training imbalances lead to injuries that can be prevented when the signs are recognized. Walk away with necessary techniques to balance the kinetic chain for function, decrease injuries and improve overall movement quality when the gluteus is stronger. Discover that crunches and supine core exercises are creating dysfunction of the hip flexors and that there are many other choices to train the core efficiently. Come balance the body through these techniques of flexibility, strength and release that you will love!
