Hello – thanks for the question. I know this can be tricky when trying to view on a video. There is a subtle yet important distinction between a full on ‘brace’ and the activation strategy I am teaching. It can be thought of as a modified brace. I will have the client activate his/her deep abdominal wall so to not let me push my fingers into their abdomen – I will press both low inside their ASIS as well as laterally between their 12th rib and iliac crest. And then while maintaining this activation they will continue to breathe 3-dimensionally. The difference with the full on brace is that there is no global rigidity and/or drawing in even though the individual will be more rigid than when they are not activated. This strategy should be practiced under low loads and utilized during higher loads but not used exclusively or all day long. It sounds as if your strategy is likely correct if you can still maintain your 3-D breathing while activated. Keep up the great work.

Hi Evan, you say not to “brace” when using this breathing. Can you explain what action should follows the deep breath out (dia-breathing trechinque) when readying for a heavy lift, such as a press? (i.e grab the weights, then what…)

Thanks, i really want to master this, but am a little confused as to how i should use this when loading, b/c i have been using the “squeeze your abs tight while breathing” which i think is called bracing.

Dr. Osar
I’m currently an SPT at the U of Minnesota, Twin Cities and a former D1 diver, diving coach, personal trainer and plyometrics instructor. I’m blown away by your information, attention to detail and proper body techniques and mechanics and I’m so glad I stumbled upon your videos. PT’s don’t get proper training in exercise throughout our classroom curriculum and it’s sad and frustrating. Thank you for having videos and doing all the education you do to those who are seeking it!

Evan and Jenice,
I am interested in the Integrative Movement Specialist Certification. I am a little confused about the dates, am I to understand that I will complete the program in just one weekend in Chicago, with follow up material,or do I attend all of the 4 modules?

Comment on Bosu for Post Rehab Exercises by Jenn

I agree 100 percent with your philosophy and always take the time to watch your videos. They are very informative and I appreciate that you are geared towards helping the general population move better, rather than just the athlete. The IMS sounds like an amazing opportunity; unfortunately, I am in California and it isn’t feasible at this time to fly to Chicago multiple weekends in a row. Thank you for the time and effort you put into the creation of your educational videos and blogs.

Thanks Andrew…joint centration or centration is a term used to describe optimal alignment of joints. Term is often used in chiropractic, rehab and is appropriate for training.

Wondering if you could use terms other than ‘centration’ / ‘centrated’? These are psychological terms, not physiological, so it creates the opportunity to misconstrue your teaching.
