About the Institute
The Restorative Exercise Institute (RExI) is a facility dedicated to the Biomechanical Model of “Preventive Medicine”. Created by biomechanical scientist, Katy Bowman, the Restorative Exercise program comprises of series of motor-skills that serve as indicators to healthy muscle activity.
The Biomechanical Model of Preventative Medicine is based on physics, physiology, anatomy, and engineering and simply states that all-over muscle use is a requirement of human health and is not optional. Many common, expensive ailments are a result of poor motor skills and can be corrected through diligent practice of simple movements.
Because most medical and health practitioners are not physicists or engineers, the mechanical contribution to disease has been mainly over-looked in medical research as a cause of foot issues, bone density, cardio-vascular disease, and joint degeneration. Yet an engineer will recognize that HOW a machine is used will dictate HOW the machine wears down.
The Restorative Exercise Institute currently serves Ventura County’s private and medical communities by offering science-based, educational and movement programs as well as private and group sessions. All RExI courses and sessions will show you:
What your body SHOULD be able to do
What your body CAN do right now
What SPECIFIC MOVEMENTS you need to practice until muscle functions returns
