About Fusion's SmartSpine† Training

"I have been working with older adults for over 25 years with an ongoing challenge of getting them connected to their bodies. With the Smart Spine I have been able to get my clients to a new level of body awareness. I use it heated for proprioceptive connection as well as therapeutic training for back issues, parkinsons, stinosis and many other conditions related to our aging population. I don't know what I would do without it now. My clients love it!   Thanks so much!"  ”

Description

We know we need a well aligned spine to exercise, but how can we feel what optimal alignment really feels like? Enter the SmartSpine system.

The SmartSpine is developed to ease the biomechanical challenges of the spine during simple core exercises, requiring the use of deep abdominals, while also simplifying teaching and cueing techniques. The SmartSpine System, created by master trainer Marie-Jose Blom, consists of several support pieces designed to help the body find it’s most productive positioning. By supporting the skeletal and joint system in alignment, the neural system is retrained to recruit the deep muscles while releasing the overactive muscles. This virtual coach is the next best thing to having a teacher’s guiding eye and touch at your constant disposal.

For the body, “feeling is knowing”. The SmartSpine creates the feeling for movement potential, reintroducing the natural rhythm of movement ease and fluidity. Taking the SmartSpine home is taking the tactile experience home, and reliving it in the body without instructional support. Components can be warmed in the microwave to help release muscles, and the optional organic Lavender scent calms the mind and increases focus. The SmartSpine will improve and guide movement through Pilates, Yoga, Feldenkrais and other mind body practices.
