Foundation Training was created out of necessity by Dr. Eric Goodman. At the young age of twenty-five Eric Goodman was told he needed corrective surgery for his chronic lower back pain.
Foundation Training treats the cause of your pain, it doesn’t mask the pain with drugs.
In the video below Dr. Goodman leads the audience through a breathing exercise, I strongly recommend you follow along, you’ll be amazed.
As a Personal Trainer attending chiropractic school surgery was not an option, not at twenty-five years of age, not ever, if he could find a way.
Dr. Eric Goodman discovered this magnificent obsession, find a way to alleviate lower back pain without surgery, and Foundation Training was born.
Foundation Training is about strengthening and lengthening your core, and contrary to popular belief your core is not just your abdominal and lower back muscles. Your core is all the muscles attached to your pelvis, so your core also includes your adductor muscles, your hamstrings and your glutes.
The Founder, shown below, is the key basic Foundation Exercise, the one every body has to learn. I’m starting today.
The Founder
With our Modern Lifestyles our spines are becoming atrophied, our postures stooped, this next video helps you get back to a good posture.
Adductor Assisted Back Extension
I have my own unique system of stretching and calisthenics I do regularly to lengthen my hamstrings, burn fat and keep my abs showing. The Founder Exercise is a perfect fit to work into my system, it uses multiple muscles and stretches my core.
