About Core Integration

DellaGrotte's Core Integration Method is a breakthrough technology for improving overall structural health with a minimum of effort. After participating in his program, participants reduce, and often eliminate, joint pain (esp. knee, back, neck, elbow, wrist), sit and stand more comfortably and have the experience of a body that truly supports them.

Core Integration is the result of four decades of work by Dr. Josef Dellagrotte. It combines the best techniques and learnings from the past 40 years - from Feldenkrais to recent somatic science - to enable better posture, a stronger core and greater overall health.

Moshe Feldenkrais

Our method is based on the principles of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, biomechanics, exercise physiology and somatic arts and sciences. The key is in connected movement using known biomechanical pathways of movement transmission, a new approach and technology. You begin by learning better body skills that emphasize less push-pull, more flow, with less pain, more gain.

Core Integration is a foundation for all other exercise and performance activities, as well as a therapeutic treatment education for repetitive motion injuries, plus back, hip, knee and shoulder-neck pain or chronic pain. Core Integration works on integration, not isolation, using Dr. Feldenkrais' awareness through movement process.

The program is learned through seminars, DVDs and personal treatment instruction, where possible. The goal is true upright posture, flexibility, enhanced exercise ability for a lifetime of benefits - the way your body was meant to be.
