Corrective Strategies and Movement Screening

Advanced Strength Strategies Preview

Synopsis

What are we all REAL GOOD at — and what do elite athletes EXCEL at? Compensating for a flaw, deficiency, or imbalance in the body. Option A is not available — our body jumps to Plan B. But plan B comes at a hidden price. In fact, the better you are at switching to Plan B the more surely you will be injured. Guaranteed, your durability will be a joke.

A series of minor stresses to the body resulting in limited area tissue damage or tears alone, does not cause discernable damage. However, their accumulation over time can lead to a significant injury. Inefficient movements cause compensations, which move a joint in an unnatural manner. The body will always sacrifice quality for quantity. Movement patterns will follow the path of least resistance. When you stack these compensations on top of each other, screening for movement becomes essential. How do we assess movement? Well, we break it down into these seven basic movement and stability programs. We squat. We step. We lunge. We reach. We leg raise. We push-up. And we look at rotary stability. What the movement screen does is put people into categories and rank them. You can't actually fix anything until you rank it and identify it.

When we find out you can't toe touch and that also matches up with the fact that you can't deep squat and you also have a bad active straight leg raise, we can place you in a category that allows us to then evaluate what's going on and create a corrective strategy to address that. Well, if the World Champion Indianapolis Colts of the NFL insisted their players be screened before being cleared to play, we figured our Level II RKCs deserved training in this same cutting-edge process. What you get here is every critical minute of the seminar Brett Jones delivered on this protocol to our Level II RKC candidates in June 2007. Brett's information was so impressive—and the results so spectacular that by popular demand, we are releasing the complete training on this 2-DVD set.
