Check it out: Mike Reinold & Eric Cressey – Functional Stability Training – Optimizing Movement

Functional Stability Training Optimizing Movement is designed to help you enhance your rehabilitation, fitness, and sports performance programing by enhancing movement patterns. By addressing alignment, strength, mobility, and dynamic motor control, you can maximize your rehabilitation and training programs to reach optimal performance.

The body is an amazing thing. It adapts extremely well to stress and daily demands to improve efficiency of the body. In essence, the body is excellent at moving from point A to point B. Unfortunately, the body often tries to find the path of least resistance. Imbalances in mobility, strength, and dynamic stability can result in compensatory patterns.

Sometimes “efficient” does not mean “optimal.”

FST Optimizing Movement aims to help formulate rehabilitation and training programs designed to optimize how well the body moves.

The FST Optimizing Movement program can be applied to rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance enhancement programs.

For the rehabilitation specialist, the information will help you restore functional activities faster. For the fitness and performance specialists, the information will help you achieve new progress with your clients to maximize functional and athletic potential. For the fitness enthusiast, the information will help you gain control of your body, maximize functional movement, and reduce wear and tear due to faulty movement patterns.

Module 1 – Keys to Optimizing Movement

How and why the human body compensates and adapts
What the human body means by efficiency
How everyone is different, what may be “optimal” for some may not be optimal for others, and how to adjust yor programming
The three main reasons why people move poorly

Module 2 – How to Assess and Optimize Movement

The 3 necessary components of any movement assessment process
What to look for during the movement assessment
How to easily breakdown movement patterns to dig deeper
How to combine manual therapy and corrective exercise

Module 3 – Understanding and Managing Good and Bad Stiffness

While the word “stiffness” may have a bad connotation, why this isn’t always the case
How all quality movement is heavily impacted by having the right amount of “good” stiffness in the appropriate places
Why having too much bad stiffness in a particular area can lead to pain and impaired performance
How the balance between good and bad stiffness is necessary

Module 4 – Relative Stiffness and Common Sports Medicine Pathologies

How different movement inefficiencies may lead to pathology
Common pathologies you’ll encounter and how they relate to underlying relative stiffness assessments and coaching principles discussed in this program

Module 5 – Relative Stiffness Coaching Principles

Specific coaching strategies one can employ to get optimal results in as little time as possible
How your coaching may be different for each individual
How your the coaching strategies change with different categories of exercises
