What is the ELDOA?
The ELDOA are postural exercises (LOADS) that you can do yourself with the primary goal being to increase the space within a chosen articulation (joint). As the ELDOA “create space” there is an improvement in joint mechanics, increased blood flow, reduced pressure on the discs, a reduction of pain, spinal disc rehydration, better muscle tone, improved posture, and a sense of well-being and awareness.
Using the ELDOA exercises each day, an individual will see their posture improve, better muscle created, pain reduced, and pressure on the disc in between the vertebrae reduced. The optimum times to use the ELDOA exercises are immediately following a workout or a practice session, and before bed.
Participating in a Group ELDOA Workout once a week enhances the effect of the ELDOA exercise postures.
There are a significant number of ELDOA postures from which a person can benefit. The most frequently used ELDOA exercise postures are: C4-C5 (for the neck), T6-T7 (for the shoulder complex), T8-T9 (for the thoracic region and gravity line), and most importantly, L5-S1 (for the pelvis).
These four exercises, and many others, are taught each week in Legacy’s ELDOA Group Wellness Workout. Everyone, of all ages, can benefit from this ELDOA Group Workout.
To learn more about the ELDOA, we invite you to visit the tab on our website “All Things ELDOA”.
December 16, ELDOA 1, a one-day education course, will be taught at Legacy Sport & Wellness. In this course we teach the most frequently used ELDOA postures and we invite anyone who follows our Newsletter to enroll. No prior knowledge of anatomy or biomechanics is required for ELDOA 1 education.
