NEW COURSE! Foundations of Function: Designing Transformative Corrective Exercise Programs & Where to Start

The most frequent comment trainers tell us: “I know how to spot movement issues, I just don’t know what to do about it.”

Function First’s new 60 minute online course - Foundations of Functions — offers a powerful framework that will show you how to turn assessment data into corrective programs that transform how your clients move and feel.

❌ Putting it all together is where most trainers freeze and resort to what is familiar. But that's not what is best for you or your clients.

✅ That’s the problem this new online course solves.

🚀 Design programs with confidence & clarity - without second guessing every step.

🎥 This is the edge you need to supercharge your corrective exercise programming. The Foundations of Function short course is now LIVE, & ready for enrollment!

Stacking the Deck for Long Term Health Benefits:

A couple of weeks ago I worked with a close friend of mine who has been experiencing a bout of lower back pain. The lower back was not only painful, but it was starting to interfere with his work and his ability to earn a living.

This was not his first rodeo. He has seen me at various times in the past and he has been a close friend for about 25 years and is in his mid-fifties. Because of our friendship, I felt compelled to do something differently with him that smacked of “tough love”.

Move better and safer for seniors 💪

Dynamic sitting on Core-Tex Sit requires us to control motion of our head arms and trunk (HAT).🌪️Humans function as an inverted pendulum with the heavier portion on top over our small base of support. 👣Therefore, those with balance challenges will benefit from learning to control the mass and momentum of their HAT as a step in more vertical balance training😀Older adults will feel safer sitting, reduce undesirable muscle contractions leading to more adaptive balance strategies 👏***#coretexsit #fallprevention #chairexercise #activeaging #seniorfitness #functionalaginginstitute #fyzical #balancetraining
