Core-Tex : Anthony Carey"s Balance Training Tool

My trip to the Anaheim IDEA conference was geared around mental saturation of anatomy,
physiology, biomechanics and corrective exercise (I really need to be immersed before this
stuff begins to sink in), but it was spiced by a visit with
Anthony Carey of Function First
and a few minutes play on his core trainer, the Core-Tex.
My first introduction to Anthony was his book, The Pain-Free Program, which I bought a
couple months into this corrective exercise side-trip that started nearly two years ago.
Floundering a bit, heading off in the wrong direction by guessing wrong a couple of times, the
book brought me back to the path, and I became intrigued as his techniques quickly began to
work.
About six months later, IDEA 2008 rolled around, and I was excited to see him on the
schedule teaching What the Hips Lack Hurts the Back. My bullet-point notes from the session
are
here, and cover the connections between hips and low back pain.
By this time, you know I"d become a fan and was an avid reader of his blog, so when I saw
he had invented a new core training device, I was eager to try it. It looks like a blast, but
would it be more than just a few minutes of fun, sort of fake surfing for landlubbers?
