One of the moves in the Movement Intelligence program is called 'Sit Bones Walk'. This allows the feet and pelvis to connect to the ischium bones and spine in a spiralling axial line from feet to the head. You can walk in a homolateral pattern and a contralateral pattern. It is so good.
25 May 2017 Facebook post. Melissa Coventry I wish Movement Intelligence was as recognised as Pilates for its importance in rehabilitation.

Life is constant movement & attending Jen's classes has been an integral part in retraining my body to move with less pain. It is Movement Intelligence. Thanks Jen
