The Woodpecker Rotation // Shown here by Level 2 Certified Instructor K E N D R A R E N Z O N I who says:

‘This pose is extraordinarily difficult and when I teach it, people often feel anger come up. It lengthens the glutes, trains the liotibial Band in a long position which helps it become supple, and it works the whole outside of the shin down to the foot.

It can sometimes instantly cure sciatica, but usually it takes some practice to have changes happen. It makes space for the sciatic nerve and space for the sacroiliac joint, returns a wonderful amount of rotation to the hip joint and can really help free up the knees from glutes that had been clenching and a too tight and hard IT band.

This movement will change the way you walk and run to a pattern that makes your back and hips and knees feel good and alive. Because this is Foundation Training you are also strengthening the posterior chain, our backs “core” and shock / strut / antigravity muscles.

And it is fully integrated facially from head to toe making the opening in the hips actually a full body movement that creates changes through the torso, shoulders and neck. AND you are breathing in a way that opens the whole system up simultaneously.’

We have both Level 1 & Level 2 Certification Opportunities coming up! Last day to register for the Level 1 in San Diego is next week - April 17!

Surfing keeps your body in one posture for extended periods of time with your chest up, ribs lifted, low back constantly engaged.

It works well in the water, but your body doesn’t easily reset after you’re done.

That’s when hips start to feel stuck, your low back can stay compressed, tension creeps into your neck and shoulders.

Foundation Training brings you back the other way: building strength through the back body, creating space in the spine, and giving you length where the board takes it away.

Our 4 week Surfing Program has daily workouts to get you ready before you paddle out and help your body unwind and return to neutral after.

You probably already know that we can help improve every kind of back pain, rib injury, neck pain and even shoulder pain… but there is so much more that can transform by adding Foundation Training in to your life.

When your support structure changes, everything else has room to improve and expand.

Breath deepens, tension unwinds, and blood flow improves.

Your body is an intricate system with nothing working in isolation, which means symptom relief can build upon itself with consistency and repetition.

Do the work, any amount that you can. A little bit is better than none, so start small and build from there.

We love hearing how Foundation Training has helped our community. Give it a try with a free week of our streaming app at FTstreaming.com and see how quickly you can feel better.

▶️ Workout Spotlight: 12 Minute - Sciatic & Femoral Pathway Flow w/ Eric

This full-body session is a slow, intentional flow designed to wake up the lines that support how you move. Through focused activation of the inner and outer legs, you’ll build balance, improve signal quality, and create more ease through the hips and spine.

This one is about tuning in and moving with precision to help reduce irritation and build resilient lower-body support.
