DAY 2 – Led by Bill Parravano, Certified Systema Instructor
Hips & Lower Back: Unlocking the Core of Movement and Stability
The hips and lower back form the foundation of healthy movement, posture, and power. When tension, injury, or trauma settle into these areas, it can compromise everything from athletic performance to simple daily tasks. This part of the seminar will address common issues such as:
Hip impingement and reduced range of motion
Sciatica and nerve compression
Lower back pain and disc issues (bulging, herniation, degeneration)
Pelvic instability and sacroiliac (SI joint) dysfunction
Compensation patterns leading to knee, ankle, or upper back pain
Muscle imbalances from prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, or past injuries
Using a blend of osteopathic principles, martial arts sensitivity drills, and guided movement, you’ll learn how to:
Re-pattern dysfunctional movement habits
Restore joint space and reduce compression
Improve hip-lower back coordination and flexibility
Build functional strength from a relaxed and stable foundation
Whether you’re recovering from chronic pain or looking to prevent long-term wear and tear, this session will give you practical tools to restore balance, mobility, and resilience.
