Core-Tex™

Why not take a "known" rehab  exercise and progress it in a novel and functional way?  Take a look at how you can create a progression for your rotator cuff patients and athletes. 

Take advantage of the motion of Core-Tex, the stability of the handrail and a few mini bands and you have a rotator cuff strengthening exercise that is more integrated and more interesting to your patient. 

Let that scapula dance!

Core-Tex Inventor Anthony Carey shares the fundamentals of Core-Tex and Reactive Training with Larry Indiviglia. Larry is a Todd Durkin Mastermind Coach and one of Todd's most trusted team members.

Anthony offers great insight into the applications and science with Larry.  

Stability or physio balls are great. But sometimes they are a pain and sometimes there are better options for certain populations. Watch how effective combining the BOSU and Core-Tex are at creating a novel and effective seated exercise environment.
This single arm work is going to light up the core and shoulder stabilization. The reactive variability of Core-Tex turns on all the stabilizers through the core and shoulder girdle in response to all of the available movements of Core-Tex. A big "thank you" from John Sinclair of Hive Performance for sharing with us.  

Ankle sprains represent one of the largest, if not the largest occurring injury in collegiate sports.  Ligament sprains of the ankle also effect all demographics with poor rehabilitation of the initial injury being a leading risk factor for recurring sprains.

Loss of dorsi flexion due to sub-optimal articulation of the ankle mortise frequently occurs following ankle sprains. Additionally, research has shown the significance of hip strength in preventing ankle sprains.

Watch how the motion of Core-Tex and the smoothness of the motion allows for a very unique way of addressing both dorsi flexion AND hip involvement at the same time.  

This is a great way to get your hands off your patient or athlete and let them work independently combining range of motion and neuromuscular control.  A win win!

The Glute Bridge aka Hip Bridge or Hip Thrust is a very popular and effective exercise.  This sagittal plane movement is great for targeting the posterior chain.  But what happens when you "super-size" the demand on the posterior hip by driving variable vector forces into the hip from the torso motion on Core-Tex?  A completely unique challenge to the neuro-muscular system for stability and strength gains not found with any other product.  Add a familiar tool you are probably already using to further vary the environment. 
By dictating the user position on the platform, you can target specific motions of the lumber spine and the lower thoracic spine that will improve motion and stability.  These lower threshold moves are excellent for the patient or athlete currently experiencing lower back pain.  The subtle, fluid motions of the platform can reduce the threat and encourage safe motion. The user can perform completely independently of the therapist or trainer, allowing for ongoing motor learning and movement confidence. 

We have the honor of sharing with you some hip rehab applications sent to us by physical therapist Bryce Taylor.  Bryce shares with us:

"I have a unique opportunity to capture overhead views at my clinic and for the Core-Tex, this makes sense.  I've been working with this gentleman for several hip-related cases to restore functional mobility and return him to competitive distance running.  He has had surgeries for labral tears and hip impingement.  In this case, the Core-Tex has aided in self-administered and guided multi-planar end range of motion of the hip and lower kinetic chain.  I like that they can freely explore within the limits of their own subjective boundaries and that, I believe, can have more impact than passive motion."

Take this familiar arm position we use on the wall to mobilize the thoracic spine, add the patented motion of Core-Tex and you have a very unique and effective way to enhance scapular motion.  This is also a great move to help mobilize the tissue inferior to the posterior shoulder joint.  
This is an amazing glute training exercise.  This move targets the posterior hip in a completely different way with an emphasis on the actions of the glutes neglected by most traditional exercises.  The patented motion of Core-Tex provides the environment to challenge these frontal and transverse plane motions while introducing a positive stress to the knee joint.
In this concise video, Core-Tex inventor Anthony Carey shares why reactive training and reactive variability is a critical component of movement training for people of all levels and abilities.  
People often ask me what are my favorite Core-Tex exercises. Three of them shown here are 3 of my favorites because they are movements that are unique to the Core-Tex and the patented motion.
