Rehab/Core Movement Classes Many have heard that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, while a body at rest tends to stay at rest. Therein, to simply maintain, much more to increase, the functioning of your body you must move it, and move it properly. Having studied and taught human movement for over 30 years, I am able to provide a multitude of exercises that allow those in need to access rehabilitative techniques unknown and/or unavailable through traditional methods. Some of these movements will appear common, while others unique and rare. Using these various exercises ranging from very simple and gentle to the more complex and physically challenging, I have successfully helped those suffering pain and disability achieve relief and recover previously not thought possible.

Instructor: Thorin Blanco: I have studied, taught, and applied martial arts in real world experiences for over 40 years. I have also been a massage therapist for 25 years, all of which has enabled me to combine multiple systems from many worldwide arts and develop methods that are simple to learn and practical in real life.
