Fast Track to the Wright Balance® Express Exercises

“Biotensegrity, a term coined by Dr. Stephen Levin, is the application of tensegrity principles to biological structures. Biological structures such as muscles, bones, fascia, ligaments and tendons, or rigid and elastic cell membranes, are made strong by the unison of tensioned and compressed parts.”  Fascia Training Academy, 202

A pre-stressed system like our bodies (skeleton ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia) that has tension added via the isometric exercises in one of the 33 Core Region Stance Widths “returns” to its original state of symmetry when isometric tension is applied. The Wright Balance® Express consists of eight (8) isometric positions in a standing posture in one (1) of 33 subregion stance widths.

As of this writing, the Wright Balance® Express is used for exercises through the 3 Core Zones for specific sports or activities to change heel to toe balance for example, the position of foot strike for a runner; to test and correct muscle imbalances throught the core; in dentistry to move a person’s bite forward or back in the mouth to minimize jaw line stress; to change the heel to toe balance impacting ground reaction force or delivery to the ball in golf or to change the Carrying Angle to a more desirable position for equal distribution of left to right force.  There are a multitude of reasons to do the Wright Balance® Express.

The most recent advances in the use of wrists and ankle bands produce identical changes as the Wright Balance® Express in ONE of 33 Core Zones when there is no desire to move the heel to toe balance or change the Carrying Angle.  For example, early lessons for an athlete would use the wrist or ankle bands for assessment and teaching balance for their particular activity.  

If it is determined that a student needs to increase or decrease their Carrying Angle or change Core Zones, the Wright Balance® Express is introduced.

The Wright Balance® Express is a 2 minute exercise that should be done first thing every morning for absolute symmetry and balance to protect the back when lifting and balance in general and again before bed.   The implications for this exercise long term is significant in every application.   The following video is the Wright Balance® Express  Note that this exercise has 8 distinct positions with an isometric hold.  The Wright Balance® Exercise is for Pain relief, Mobility and Posture and or to move to a new Core Zone to change biomechanical performance characteristics or also for pain and sorness relief.
