Restorative Exercise™ is an educational exercise program based on the biomechanical theory of optimal wellness, and is an in-depth look at how the mechanics of the “human machine” function optimally. The Biomechanical Model of Preventative Medicine is based on physics, physiology, anatomy, and engineering and simply states that all-over muscle use is a requirement of human health and is not optional. Many common, expensive ailments are a result of poor motor skills and can be corrected through diligent practice of simple movements.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas Edison
Katy Bowman, M.S. Biomechanist Katy Bowman has developed a practical series of simple exercises that are revolutionary in their ability to restore joint function, ease or eliminate chronic pain, and correct spinal alignment. With a strong affinity to physics and the human body, she received her Master’s degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Biomechanics. One of Katy’s personal goals is to not only bring her science-based Restorative Exercise™ to mainstream America, but to educate the health care community about proactive, biomechanical, holistic exercise. Quotes from our Graduates: “Restorative Exercise™ worked when everything else they had tried had failed” “I have a degree in Movement and Exercise Science and have been a personal trainer. When I signed up for the RES training, I was expecting to review what I knew and learn a few new ideas. By the end of the first class, I realized that my whole health and exercise paradigm was about the change! The concepts Katy teaches are so basic and logical, yet we in the health and exercise world have somehow been missing them all these years. “ “This is possibly the best educational (and life changing) experience I have had. Being a chiropractor and using neurofeedback therapy to help brain injuries you would think I had it all together in the area of “alignment”, but not so. Last year I was so crippled from acute/chronic achilles tendonitis, I could barely walk around my house, much less exercise. Every therapy known did not help. After 1 month of Restorative Exercise™ and proper alignment and I was 90% better, unbelievable! Less than a year later I climbed Half Dome in Yosemite. Don’t pass up the opportunity and experience for optimum wellness no matter your age or profession.” The Restorative Exercise Institute (RExI) and Restorative Exercise, Inc. are dedicated to alignment-based wellness. Through continued research and education,
Most will encounter a new paradigm. Some will try it out. A few will march the path toward a new life. The select few will show the way to others.
