A Somatosensory Approach to Smart-Core Intelligence 

 

A 28 hour (3½ days) course

  

Presented By: Marie-José Blom

The SmartCore Teach and Treat approach merges the most current curriculum of the unparalleled Core Intelligence course into the comprehensive professional teacher training course.

This skill enhancing experience is bridging the gap between manual therapy, and movement education such as Pilates, Feldenkrais, Gyrotonic©, physical therapy, and fascial conditioning.

The SmartSpine Teach and Treat model, SmartCore, introduces the core conditioning core tools that allow the movement teacher or practitioner to be intuitive and affecting while awakening “the feeling” of the movement thereby stimulating cognitive and somatic learning beyond teaching of isolated exercises.

As we now know, and continue to explore, the key to whole body wellness lies in the connective tissue matrix, the facsia. This live and dynamic environment functions much like the biologic ecosystem of our body, thriving when well balanced. The essential components that reflect “well balanced” are:

  • Tissue hydration
  • The effect temperature
  • Tissue glide
  • Texture
  • Tissue density
  • Elasticity

Maintaining or restoring this delicate balance lies in the combination of intelligent movement and intelligent touch. This Teach and Treat approach is a system that is developed to support and enhance the results of what you are already doing in your practice of movement education, bodywork, or physical therapy.
