Spiral Stabilization in Downtown Vancouver
We’re Canada’s ONLY centre for Spiral Stabilization, a unique exercise method effective in prevention and treatment of spinal disorders, muscle imbalance and mechanical problems of peripheral joints(shoulders, hips, keens and feet).
Spiral Stabilization is an unique exercise method effective in prevention and treatment of spinal disorders, muscle imbalance and mechanical problems of peripheral joints(shoulders, hips, keens and feet).
This unconventional movement approach relies on the concept of spiral muscle chains producing traction of the spine that relieves pressure in the intervertebral discs and joints and allows for the proper nutrition and regeneration. Muscle spirals also allow for optimal spinal mobility while aligning the spine into a centralized axis.
The exercises are performed with an elastic cord and incorporate all important elements of strengthening, stabilization, stretching, relaxation, coordination and balance in every exercise.
They are easy to learn as they are based on the natural movement patterns of the body regularly used during walking and running.
How Does Spiral Stabilizaiton Work?
Initially the focus goes to reducing muscle imbalances in the shoulder. We continue by correcting the muscle imbalance in the pelvis and later in the abdominal region. We stretch the muscles compressing the spine – long muscles located along the spine. We renew the activity of the short muscles that coordinate the mutual alignment of the vertebrae. We exercise the muscle spirals through body’s main section – the external, internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles, which contract the area of the waist and create an upward force.
After correctly performing the exercises with an excellent technique standing on both feet, we continue by exercising on only one foot. Exercising on one foot develops a sense of balance and increases the effect of spiral stabilization (intensively strengthens the abdominal muscles) and supports the arch of the foot.
Who can benefit from Spiral Stabilization Exercises?
- Disc degeneration/prolapse/herniation – with the help of muscle chains the body develops upward strength that relieves pressure on the intervertebral discs and joints and allows for their regeneration and treatment.
- Scoliosis (kyphosis, lordosis) – exercises will change the insufficient activity of the muscle spirals to its correct functioning and create a dynamic stabilizing muscle corset, which will cause upward traction force, bringing the spine to the central axis.
- Failed back surgery syndrome – treatment and prevention of complications after unsuccessful spinal surgeries.
- Hip and knee surgery – treatment and prevention of unstable walking after hip or knee surgery or as a preparation for surgery.
- Children/Youth – the exercise is aimed at regeneration focusing on reversing poor posture, which is frequently caused by long periods of sitting at a desk at school, also kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis and Scheuermann’s disease.
- Middle aged/General pain sufferers – the exercises will be aimed at rectifying muscle imbalances caused by a sedentary job and asymmetric loading such as overworking or overusing. We concentrate on renewing muscle balance, releasing painful muscle tension and optimizing movement coordination
