CORE Back Specific-

A 7 hour workshop focusing on myofascial and deep tissue techniques fro paraspinal, scapular, sacral, and iliofemoral regions. Back Specific protocol improves structural balance, reduces chronic pain, and enhances flexibilty and performance abilities. A part of the 6 day CORE Myofascial Therapy Certification Program

Chest, Neck & Head-

A 7 hour workshop focusing on myofascial and deep tissue techniques for the thorax, cervical, cranial and fascial regions. CN&H protocol improves thoracic, cerviacl and cranial alignment while improving respiratory capacity and shoulder mobility while reducing chronic tension and pain in the neck and face.

A part of the 6-day CORE Myofascial Therapy Certification Program.

CORE Structural Integration Certification Program

Built on the tradition of Ida Rolf and the SOMA Institute, CORE Institute’s 10-session Structural Integration program focuses on precision of technique and depth of knowledge (50% more material covered than peers) – to ensure that CORE SI grads are at the top in their field, and reaping the rewards.

CORE Advanced Structural Integration is a 10-session, system-wide process of deep bodywork. It is designed to improve the STRUCTURAL and FUNCTIONAL abilities of the human body in its relationship to the gravitational field. CORE Structural Integration also utilizes clinical techniques and educational strategies that are client-friendly. The power of this system comes from honoring the client’s ability to increase their neuro-somatic awareness. You will learn (and the client will learn) how to use communication and somatic awareness to match your touch to their sensory nervous system and somato-type.

CORE Structural Integration constitutes a 10-session system of progressively deeper myofascial treatments that structurally improves all fascial layers and extrinsic and intrinsic musculature. The 10 sessions focus on establishing an integrated structure, balancing the intrinsic spiral in the body, releasing chronic myofascial tension, improving movement patterns, and increasing self-reliance through heightened neurosomatic awareness. Each of the 10 sessions focuses on a specific region of the body, progressively working into deeper and more specific layers of the myofascial network.

Training consists in 3 phases for the Structural Integration program:
Phase One training is titled CORE Extrinsic, and it includes goal-based lessons of the first three 90-minute sessions of the work, along with advanced body-reading strategies, flexibility programs, and the use of other educational strategies that promote client participation.

Phase Two training is titled CORE Intrinsic, and it includes the treatment plans of the four deepest sessions that work with the alignment and balance of the pelvis, spine, and cranium. Psychological theories and strategies are presented, along with advanced anatomy and physiology of these regions and related systems.

Phase Three training is titled CORE Integration, and it includes the potential treatment strategies for the final three sessions, which seek to integrate the upper and lower divisions of the body, as well as coordinating brain hemisphere function. These three sessions have often been referred to as the “sculptural artwork” of structural integration. The level of client participation, especially in the design of the final session is mandatory for success.

The CORE Structural Integration certification is a 320 classroom-hour program that includes outside reading and clinical practice.

• Classes will be held from 9am - 6pm daily
• Additional work and assignments will be required outside of the classroom between sessions.
• Those who become certified in CORE Structural Integration are eligible for membership in the International Association Of Structural Integrators.
• Tuition for this program is $9500. $500 discount for Myofascial Certification grads and CORE Sport Bodywork grads.
• 12 month payment plans are available through the CORE Institute.
