The Elastik

Elastik Class on break

Class Resumes: To be Announced

The ELASTIK was invented when I was asked by Westside Dance Physical Therapy in NYC to teach a curriculum of exercises designed specifically for physical therapists working with dancers.

The ELASTIK 
emphasizes the relationship between movements of the extremities and core stabilization through its attachment to the hands and feet.

It is a portable personal jungle gym that is adaptable to different body types and levels of skill.

The goal of the ELASTIK is

  • — to physically and cognitively strengthen core and dynamic muscles to maintain the integrity of one’s alignment.
  • — to prevent harmful stresses to the neck, back, shoulders and hips, knees and feet.
