RehabFitness(TM) Classes

A physical therapy consultation, and if necessary a physical therapy
evaluation, is necessary before you enroll in our RehabFitness(TM)
classes:

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an exercise consisting of slow and graceful movements which
promote health, relaxation, and flexibility. People of all ages can benefit
from it. The gentle movements of Tai Chi reduce tension, improve circulation
and balance, and increase strength and flexibility. Over time, these internal
arts reach deep inside the body to benefit the entire physiology and restore
the calmness and peace of mind often lost through the excessive desires
and anxieties of daily life. Instructor: Jaqui

Abdominal & Pelvic Floor Boot Camp

A four-week series of education and exercise that tackles that lower abdomen bulge, as well as issues such as incontinence, constipation, and lower back pain. This class is a must!

Would you like to improve your posture and core (abdominal, back and pelvic floor) strength? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this class is for you!

You Will Learn How To:

• Sit on a toilet properly
• Perform a Kegel exercise correctly
• Ameliorate or prevent urine leaking or gas from passing
• Flatten your abdomen (most women lose between 1/2 – 3 inches in their waist)
• Perform pelvic floor weight exercises when appropriate
• Massage scar tissue
• Lift/push/pull using correct bio-mechanics
• Exercise to strengthen the abdomen, back, and pelvic floor in 10 minutes or less a day

Anatomy and physiology of the abdomen, back, pelvic floor, bladder, and intestinal tract will be discussed. Class handouts and books are provided for references and reviews of class material.

Advanced Abdominal and Pelvic Floor Boot Camp:

This class is designed for graduates of our introductory “Boot Camp”. In this advanced class, we will progress your abdominal, pelvic floor and back exercises to the next level, and will add new exercises for the neck and scapular region. This class will teach you how to make your gym workouts core and pelvic floor friendly. You will learn which weight machines are right for your condition, and how to incorporate Kegel and transverse abdominis exercises into your workout. Each student will also receive a posture evaluation and receive recommendations for improving posture and strength.
