Truly effective corrective exercise programming creates positive changes in how your clients move and feel through biomechanical, physiological and neurological mechanisms. D...
Too much too soon. Too simple for advanced clients. Too static to be beneficial. These are all common pitfalls in programming for the core. Training intrinsic stabilization a...
What is the difference between a "true" and a "functional" leg-length discrepancy? What are the consequences to the spine from top to bottom? Leg-length di...
Functional training trends have unleashed a surge in inappropriate applications and exercise progressions. Training variables can be manipulated in both a forward and backward...
The concept of muscle and fascia being separate anatomical entities is no longer valid. Fascia plays a critical role in all human movement. To understand movement and dysfunct...
Function First takes a unique approach toward corrective exercises for musculoskeletal dysfunctions by addressing the planes of motion with the appropriate sequencing of exerc...
All movements of the body (including exercise) have three primary components: physiological, biomechanical and neurological. It is critical to understand and consider these th...
The statistics are well known: 85% of people will experience lower-back pain in their lifetimes. The general public and media perpetuate outdated or inaccurate information reg...
Addressing thoracic kyphosis has been a challenge facing health professionals for more than a century and the same exercise strategies have been used for years. A true underst...
The process of assessing and correcting imbalances can sometimes seem like a daunting task. There is currently so much information on the topic that it is hard to know where t...
Eighty-five percent of all adults will experience low-back pain during their lifetime. Limitations and dysfunctions of the hip joint result in a transfer of responsibility to ...
All movements of the body (including exercise) have three primary components: physiological, biomechanical and neurological. It is critical to understand and consider these th...
Functional training is guessing without understanding functional anatomy. Myofascial slings are windows into a deeper appreciation of true anatomical function. They are litera...
Limitations and dysfunctions of the hip joint result in a transfer of responsibility to the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine is not designed to work the way the hips do, and the...
Myofascial slings are structures that are anatomically connected and functionally related. This fascinating information into our understanding of the human musculoskeletal sys...
If walking is the most repeated movement we do in a day, then poor mechanics can lead to cumulative injury. Understanding whether the problems are top down, bottom up or middl...
