Jan. 21 virtual workshop to address "strengthening your CORE following a Spinal Cord Injury"

Where the hell did my core go? What is core stability and why is it important? What does it take to establish a connection to your core? Those are all the frustrating questions we often ask ourselves, and our therapists, following SCI but rarely get a straight answer. As part of our “NorCal SCI Presents: Virtual is the New Reality Series”, Rachel Kahn will cover all of these questions and more in this class on Thurs., Jan. 21st at 5 p.m. PST where she will discuss what muscles make up the core, how to access those muscles through breath and movement, and how a strong core can help with everyday activities, posture, and seated/standing balance.

Therefore, for exercises covered in the movement portion, you can either remain seated in your wheelchair or transfer to a bed/floor space. Optional equipment include a small weight, a long rolled up towel (or half of a foam roller), and an anchored theraband.

This free virtual presentation is funded through a grant by the Reeve Foundation. Once you register, you will immediately receive a confirmation e-mail from us which you should keep for access information to the virtual event.
