Movement Functional Movement Systems: Screening, Assessment, Corrective Strategies

Movement is a vivid discovery, a fundamental and explicit teaching in which the return to basics takes on a whole new meaning. In it, author Gray Cook crosses the lines between rehabilitation, conditioning and fitness, providing a clear model and a common language under which fitness and rehabilitation professionals can work together. <br><br> By using systematic logic and revisiting the natural developmental principals all infants employ as they learn to walk, run and climb, Gray forces a new look at motor learning, corrective exercise and modern conditioning practices. <br><br> The discoveries, lessons and approaches you'll learn- <br><br> * How to view and measure movement quality alongside quantity<br> * How to ascertain dysfunctional patterns with the Functional Movement Screen<br> * What clinicians need to know about the Selective Functional Movement Assessments<br> * When to apply corrective strategies and how to determine which strategies to use<br> * How to map movement patterns and understand movement as a behavior and not just as a mechanical idea <br><br> This book is not simply about the anatomy of moving structures. Rather, it serves a broader purpose to help the reader understand authentic human movement, and how the brain and body create and learn movement patterns. Our modern dysfunctions are a product of our isolated and incomplete approaches to exercise imposed on our sedentary lifestyles. A return to movement principles can create a more comprehensive exercise and rehabilitation model, a model that starts with movement.
