This 20 plus page book will give you a head start in developing the knowledge and skills to assess physical dysfunctions and provide corrective strategies that will benefit your patients and clients tremendously. You will learn how our proven movement pattern corrective exercises create the foundation to improving physical performance and how to effectively grow your expertise in the field of corrective exercise.
Ankle joint mobility is critical with basic and advanced upright human movement patterns. The ability to walk, step up or down stairs and even squat effectively require that a person has adequate ankle mobility. Limitation in dorsiflexion of the ankle can and will create compensated movement patterns throughout the body including the immediate joints above and below the ankle.
The inability of the ankle joint to move well changes the dynamics of how the rest of the body must move efficiently. Limitation in ankle mobility can manifest postural and movement pattern compensation elsewhere in the body that cannot be addressed without correcting ankle mobility first.
The ability to touch your toes is one of the most significant fundamental movement patterns to establish and one of the greatest underestimated influences on overall body mechanics. The Toe touching pattern can reveal many dysfunctional movements and expose an individual to excessive stress to the low back and knees. Limitation in toe touching can manifest from many dysfunctions associated to hip range of motion as well as postural stability.
Improving your Toe Touching pattern will help improve the relationship of stability and mobility necessary for overall postural integrity and authentic movement. It is important to improve the ability to touch your toes to ensure you are not placing excessive stress throughout the entire body.
Human movement is not limited to flexion and extension patterns, in fact the ability to rotate is one of the most significant pattern to understand in the prevention of most injuries. Rotation patterns are very specific to those joints deigned for rotation. The majority of injuries to the low back, knees and ankle involve a rotational mechanism. Without adequate mobility of joints designed for rotation the low back, knees and ankle are subjected to greater rotational stresses leading to significant injury.
The standing rotation pattern identifies segmental movement of the hips and torso rotation specifically. The hips and upper back are designed for rotational movement patterns more so than the lower back, knees and ankle. The Standing Rotation Corrective Program will influence improved hip and upper back rotational mobility to establish the necessity of rotation occuring at the correct joints.
Mobility is one of the most important fundamental patterns necessary for authentic human movement. Once an individual has established mobility freedom it is essential to be able to stabilize all that movement. The Single Leg Stance Pattern is a modification of the famous Berg Balance Test and emphasizes the ability of an individual to remain balanced on one foot through two movement patterns.
Essential for all human movement is the ability to stabilize joints to allow us to effectively get from one place to the other. Many compensated movement patterns and postural dysfunction can be a result of the body’s inability to stabilize itself. The Single Leg Stance Corrective Program is designed to improve necessary aspects of stability throughout the body.
