What is the CoreAlign® Method?

Classes in this unique method are now available in Brisbane.

Clinical origins of CoreAlign

CoreAlign uses precise exercises to improve functional movement

The CoreAlign method was originally developed by physical therapist Jonathan Hoffman in a clinical setting. Its early focus was as an innovative rehabilitation tool for managing musculoskeletal disorders. CoreAlign was used to stimulate core stability muscles to fire in perfect timing while performing challenging exercises, very deep stretches and core-controlled aerobic training. In response to interest from his many clients, Jonathan introduced studio training on the elliptical machine for healthy people. CoreAlign studio sessions have been conducted around the world since 2004. CoreAlign® by Balanced Body®
