MOVEMENT
Our bodies have evolved for movement. From the earliest forms of animal life, movement has been an evolutionary goal, refined over the eons. Our nervous system, cardiopulmonary system, and musculoskeletal system have all developed for movement. Movement is life. We are animated beings……
THE
PERFORMANCE PYRAMID
The performance pyramid represents how human movement can be categorised into functional movement quality, fundamental movement capacity, and functional skill. The shape of pyramid, tapering towards the top, illustrates that we cannot build capacity (strength/power/endurance) on poor function, and likewise, we cannot build specific functional skill in a given pursuit without adequate capacity. The Move Strong method incorporates natural/primal movement and StrongFirst kettlebell techniques to build resilience and adaptability.
The
Functional Movement Screen
The FMS is the screening tool used to identify limitations or asymmetries is seven fundamental movement patterns that are key to functional movement quality in individuals with no current pain complaint or known musculoskeletal injury.functionalmovement.com
Corrective Strategies
Based on findings of the FMS, the athlete is instructed on a series of progressive corrective exercises aimed at restoring movement patterns, improving physical capacity and performance, and improve overall skill.
The corrective strategies break down dysfunctional movements into issues of mobility and motor control. They must provide an achievable challenge so that the maximum change in ability in achieved as quickly as possible.
Conditioning
Move Strong promotes strength and movement as the ultimate goal in rehabilitation and performance. It is the foundation for speed, power, agility.
