My clients know that I place the utmost importance on the horse's core musculature to help enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. Want to learn more about HOW and WHY it is so important? Sign up for this online course today! https://www.eli-us.com/class/core-strengthening-for-optimal-performance/

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲?
Optimal core strength is reflected in stability in movement, or dynamic stability. Optimal dynamic stability reduces risk of injury and enhances your horse’s performance. Core strength is trained through connecting the brain with the body, through specific multi-group muscle activation exercises.

This evidence-based course takes you through detailed aspects and concepts related to core conditioning in the horse. You will learn about functional anatomy, biomechanics, the connection between the brain and the body (motor control), how and when to safely carry out combinations of different core activation and strengthening exercises (from the ground and dynamically), and other available therapies that can support the conditioning of your horse’s core.
