Sessions 4, 5 and 6 deal with core movement patterns.


° Session 4


The fourth session works with the adductor muscles (the muscles on the insides of the legs) and the medial aspect (inside) of the lower legs to help establish a more efficient gait. If there is time left, work on the larger back muscles may follow.


° Session 5


Session five focuses on the costal arch, abdominal region and hip flexors (iliopsoas group) to initiate proper forward leg movement. A stilted or penguin-like walking pattern is a clear sign that the hip flexors are not functioning properly. This is perhaps the most key session of the series and a turning point for many.
