Clare Frank Friday: Tactile Cueing

CLARE FRANK FRIDAY🫴♾️
♾️Tactile Cueing♾️
🔺Here Clare is demonstrating effective cueing for helping a client establish proficiency of IAP (Intra-abdominal pressure) and uprighting of the thoracic spine in the prone 3 month position.

📝Notice the soft tactile cues she uses, along with simple and short verbal cues. I would also note the softness of her voice to help the client "learn" and "re-organize."

🔺You'll often see this position used in our videos with clients because it's a great way to help train stacking of the rib cage over the pelvis to establish optimal core stability.

🔺As an added benefit, this is helping find "space" for the neck and thoracic spine. It is also extremely helpful for clients that are experiencing poor contraction of the shoulder joint.

👉Low-key, a very difficult drill for many of our higher level athletes to achieve proper stability.
