What is the

Franklin Method®?

The Franklin Method® is a movement modality that’s been practiced for 30+ years and can be applied both as a stand alone training as well as in harmony with other movement modalities such as yoga, Pilates, and various forms of physical therapy.

After waking with no feeling in her left leg and discovering she had 3 herniated discs, Alison found relief through studying the intricacies of the spine via the Franklin Method® and has been endlessly curious about the connection between movement and healing ever since.

Along with being the one thing that helped me heal after a debilitating spinal injury, the Franklin Method uses the mind to influence real change in the body. As I like to say "we're in the business of improvement" and have tools to improve almost everything in life. It all starts with how we think.

Franklin Method: Muscles for Healthy Breathing

With a spotlight on the functional biomotion of the most important breathing muscle, the diaphragm, we will also embody muscles that assist healthy breathing. The results are not only the positive effects that come from good breathing (calm nervous system, better digestion, more energy) but embodying the muscles that support healthy breathing can greatly improve lower back, neck and shoulder tension as well.

This class is OPEN to the public, counts for CEs for LMT’s and is held over Zoom. For more information on registering for class please reach out to OSM directly here

Franklin Method for the Adductors/Abductors of the Hip

In this course we will not only embody these muscles in hip adduction and abduction, we will explore their other important functions/movements as well as experience fascial connections with the back, the knee and the pelvic floor. This can help create a "doorway" to working with your clients as well as to your own motion/posture as well.
