Is core stabilization really effective for back pain? (2-CEU)

To fully understand all aspects of the ATM® Concept, you are cordially invited to view the first part of the ATM® Concept and ATM2® web training program. In this seminar you will learn how it is possible to "alter muscle activation patterns" in order to achieve "immediate pain reduction" 1

Seminar Invitation - Recorded - 2 CEU/Hours (see details below)
This seminar explains why core stabilization exercises do not yield the outcomes many researchers and clinicians had hoped that they would  2-4 , and proposes an alternative to these commonly taught and prescribed core stabilization exercises, so that immediate, significant, and lasting results may be achieved on a consistent and predictable basis. 5   (i.e. pain elimination during intervention, followed by 50%-100% lasting pain reduction and or increase in pain-free range of motion for lumbar, thoracic, cervical, shoulder, knee, hip, and pelvis common pain).  See references below.

Seminar Description
This seminar is designed to provide clinicians with the understanding of Core Stability and the inherent limitations in traditional core stability exercises. It introduces the principals of motor learning to explain why common core stabilization exercises do not yield the outcomes researchers and clinicians originally anticipated.  The seminar introduces a new concept as an alternative to common core stabilization exercises, and provides all the evidence necessary to rationalize it’s clinical implementation.

Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this seminar, clinicians will understand how it is possible to:
  1. Consistently transition painful movements, ranging from mild to severe, to become 100% pain-free in just a few minutes for almost all common acute and chronic common pain patients.
  2. Transition a patient's Central Nervous System's (CNS) firing patterns from pathological to normal (pain-free) in just a few minutes, and prove this, using a simple hand-held sEMG system.
  3. Immediately increase athletes and patients ROM and possibly also strength, by just optimizing their CNS (no end-range stretches used), and to prove this by using an electronic inclinometer system.
