Description
Understanding human movement has never been more crucial. This comprehensive guide provides a clear model and common language for fitness and rehabilitation professionals to work together, crossing lines between conditioning, fitness, and rehabilitation.
The authors reveal the natural developmental principles that infants use when learning to walk, run, and climb, forcing a new look at motor learning, corrective exercise, and modern conditioning practices. You'll learn how to view movement quality alongside quantity, identify dysfunctional patterns with the Functional Movement Screen, and apply corrective strategies effectively.
This book is not just about anatomy; it aims to help you understand authentic human movement, and how the brain and body create and learn movement patterns. By returning to movement principles, you can develop a more comprehensive exercise and rehabilitation model that starts with movement.
