Injury Prevention Online Course
My Ukemi Foundations Online Course is all about developing mobility, stability, and balance, in the context of preventing injuries and while learning how to fall safely and roll.
This online course includes detailed video instruction for exercises to improve the stability and range of motion of your joints, enhance your flexibility and functional strength, develop proprioception and balance, and build a strong foundation for safe and graceful movement in daily life and any physical activities you enjoy.
This program was developed to guide to to develop your own mobility practice and lay the foundation for a balanced and capable body. The context through which we approach mobility, strength, and balance in this course is centered around building the skills of safe-falling and rolling, a core foundation of natural movement and injury prevention.
Movement & Manual Therapy Treatment
As a Movement Therapist and Mobility Guide, Alex provides a service that combines Shiatsu & Sotai Therapy along with guidance and programing for Personal Mobility Training. Shiatsu & Sotai therapy involves hands-on treatment sessions with Alex Schenker, a licensed therapist with over 20 years of devoted training and professional experience.
Sessions also include guidance and creation of a mobility training program that is customized for your specific needs, serving the purpose of supporting the your treatment goals and restoring balance, alignment, and natural range of motion.
Without at least a minimum mobility training routine, any treatment is little more than symptom management, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Throughout ongoing sessions, your condition is ever-changing and without continuous adjustment of your program, progress is limited.
These sessions involve assessment, treatment, and training in every session, with a concise routine for you to practice on your own. Ideally these sessions are received in-person, but it is also possible to do these sessions online over Zoom by instructing and observing your movement and providing instruction and coaching for self-treatment.
Testimonials
“As a lifelong martial artist, I can not overstate the value of the Natural Mobility Ukemi Foundations course. That being said, learning how to safely fall and recover without injury is an important skill for everyone of all walks of life. It is inevitable that we all fall at some point, so it's just a matter of time until we will need the skills learned in this course. Whether you've never learned to breakfall or have been using them for years, there is so much to gain from the in depth, and step-by-step lessons taught in this program. It's easy to see that Alex has spent years perfecting this art and delivers the results of his study and experience in a practical and easy to use format with videos and explanations throughout. 10 out of 10, I would definitely recommend this course and will certainly be using it to help teach ukemi in the future.”​
