Lower Body Revolution™

© Jolie Bookspan, MEd, PhD, FAWM
Director, Neck and Back Pain Sports Medicine
and the Academy of Functional Exercise Medicine

Dr. Bookspan's methods to fix back pain, neck pain, knee pain and other joint pain are used by the military and top spine doctors.
Her methods are so successful that Harvard School of Medicine clinicians have named her "The St. Jude of the Joints."

 

This is not an ordinary exercise class. This innovative method takes core training further to foundation training, to retrain all your bending, walking, jumping, and moving habits for back, legs, abdomen and core, ankles, feet, and knees. Learn fun sports medicine exercises to get a workout at the same time you retrain posture and movement patterns for daily life.

Certification is available from Dr. Bookspan, through the Academy

 

We use weights, bands, body weight, and your brain in dynamic functional movements from simple to challenging to learn to:

  • Use your body and muscles the way they actually work in real life
  • Retrain good bending using healthy lunge and squat for daily activities.
  • Retrain healthful knee and leg positioning, stability, and mechanics for real life activities
  • Use body and leg muscles instead of stressing back, hip, knee, and ankle joints
  • Use abdominal and core the way they actually work in real life while standing (functional movement) & exercising instead of stressing low back joints
  • Prevent pain and injury
  • Evaluate body mechanics and habits
  • Burn more calories for real life activities
  • Learn healthy fun functional movement patterns to use for all daily activity, not just "a workout."

 

You will improve:

  • Muscular strength, endurance, and good movement habits for your entire body and brain too.
  • Joint range of motion and flexibility and how to apply them doing things you ordinarily do
  • Posture, confidence, and appearance
  • Overall conditioning the way you need for real life - functional conditioning.
