Clear as day but you don’t see the vision,
What we got deserves some patience,
Cuz this ain’t no finger painting

Addressing mobility is laying the foundation in all areas for you to move freely. Joe Montana would practice drop back drills that would bore high school football players to death. Wax on, wax off; Mr Miyagi drove one boy crazy with simple tasks before revealing their application. Progression, transition, substitution, activation, supplemental, accessory and corrective exercises should make up the bulk of your program. Advance simple exercise difficulty instead of leaping to the next progression. Add load, change tempo, or increase volume; otherwise, you’ll have to regress.

Beautiful and modern all the same,
But what’s a photo if it’s out of frame

You have attainable dreams; however you must chase what’s in view before arriving at your destination. Functional range is something rarely sought after on the road to movement. That round back has held up for years, yet your lifts haven’t risen significantly. Working hard through a difficult repetition is crucial, but cut the set before it gets ugly. Just because you managed to irk through it, doesn’t mean you made a healthy adaptation. Ingraining motor patterns is the same way you ingrain values. Integrity is built through character, not charisma.

If I make it I’ll come back to get you,
I’ll paint all the world for you,

This is what I do, what we do. As movement coaches we study and apply the science. We challenge and experiment with techniques of old, and new. We’ve learned hands on, through injury, and know what works and what doesn’t. Through our environment we are able to find the most effective ways of progressing. We program, regress, reposition, and cue you for greatness.

Movement is my life; let me share it with you.

I pray you see the bigger picture
