I have spinal stenosis which impedes nerve pathways resulting in pain and discomfort. Through the ELDOA’s and strength training I have learned how to manage my discomfort quite successfully. In addition I have learned how to increase strength and flexibility thru proper alignment, focus on technique and adhering to my homework.

During those three months, I found my sciatica pain gradually improving, and I felt an overall sense of rejuvenation and accomplishment after each class. Ekemba and Maya are skilled and highly motivational, and I enjoyed the camaraderie with the other class member

Encouraging, creative, and professional are the words that immediately come to mind when describing Ekemba as a trainer. His encouragement takes on various forms, such as his always enthusiastic greetings, the genuine interest he shows in me as a person, and most importantly, the way in which he guides me through his well-designed workouts.

Ekemba’s cutting edge workouts help me achieve fitness goals that I could not of done without his coaching. His attention to form and strategies catapulted my training to higher levels. If you are going to make the time to workout… make the most of it by working with Ekemba

IMPROVE SPINAL HEALTH
WHAT TO
DO WHEN YOU HAVE BACK PAIN? GRIN AND BEAR IT? KEEP POPPING THE PAIN
PILLS…? DO YOU HAVE A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY? THEN SOLCORE FITNESS PERSONAL
TRAINING IN SANTA FE WILL GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO PERMANENTLY CURE YOUR BACK
PAIN WITH STRETCHING EXERCISES FOR BACK PAIN!
ELDOA
(ETIREMENTS LONGITUDINAUX AVEC DECOAPTION OSTEO-ARTICULAIRE) ARE
STRETCHING EXERCISES FOR BACK PAIN DESIGNED TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN GOOD
POSTURE, SPINAL HEALTH AND INTEGRITY.
Our
lifestyles and the fact that we are living longer adversely impact our spines.
If you are not actively supporting the health of your spine, it is just a
matter of time before the spine succumbs and becomes symptomatic (exhibits
pain) to these forces. No one is exempt from these forces! Performing
ELDOA on a regular basis will counter these effects and help keep the
spine healthy and useful.
ELDOA
is a series of decoaptative (space giving) longitudinal stretching exercises
that can target any joint in your body and more specifically, the
vertebral segments of the spine. A vertebral segment is composed of two
bony vertebras (for example, L4 & L5 ), the spongy disc between them
and the tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves) that attach and
directly influence the segment. The human spine has 23-24 vertebral segments.
There is an ELDOA for each vertebral segment.
For a vertebral
segment to decoaptate while performing ELDOA, a specific posture is
assumed. The posture directs self-induced tension to the myofascial
chain influencing that particular vertebral segment. Maintaining both the
posture and tension that ELDOA demands for a duration of at least 60
seconds will give both the nervous system (‘driver’) and body (‘car’) time
to become aware and adjust. Over time and with repetition, the body moves
towards a position of postural normalization and eased tensions.
Regardless of a person’s posture, these stretching exercises for back pain
in Santa Fe have factors of progression making the ELDOAs user-friendly
and extremely effective.
The key
to ELDOA’s success lies with the conscious integration of the body
and nervous system. In order for the nervous system to reset the habitual
postural positioning of the body, you must be consciously present (aware)
during each ELDOA exercise. In essence, you are using these stretching
exercises for back pain to retrain the nervous system to adopt the new
posture.
Since
structure dictates function, if you use ELDOA along with Myofascial
Stretching, structural reinforcement, global functioning exercises and a
healthy holistic lifestyle, your function (performance) will improve in
all areas of your life. Whether you are a professional athlete, a
stay-at-home mom, a working professional, or anything in between, your
quality of life will improve when you are living pain-free and in balance.
