Foam Rolling

Foam Rolling is a scientifically validated self-massage application designed to increase range of motion, lubrication, hydration, and tissue health without decreasing the performance characteristics of the tissues. The videos in this folder show trad...

Mobility: Fascial Mobilisers

Fascial Mobilisers are low force, slow and rhythmical total-body motions. They were developed by Ian O'Dwyer of Feel SOMA. Fascial Mobilisers are designed to lubricate and gently manipulate the fascial network in the body to enhance mobility and stab...

Mobility: Dynamic (Bodyweight)

Mobility is more than just how much motion someone has. Rather, it is quality and purpose of motion, and the readiness or ability to act “on-demand”. Readiness for motion means the neural and myofascial tissues are able to produce contractions wi...

Mobility: Elastic Bands

The use of elastic bands with mobility drills can help provide feedback to the nervous system, which may help to enhance activation and motion.

Comparative Assessments of Mobility (CAM)

Comparative assessments of mobility (CAM) for individual body segments taken with permission from Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques® Jump Start into MAT book and slightly modified for context in this course.

Positional Isometric Contractions (PIC)

PICs are taken with permission from Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques® Jump Start into MAT book and slightly modified for context in this course. PICs are a low intensity isometric contraction of 10-20% of a maximum isometric contraction f...

Integrated Mobility Screens

Basic integrated mobility screens for fundamental movement patterns.

Squat Movements

Defined as stationary hip and knee dominant pattern. Many squat exercises will strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and quads, along with many other muscles in the body, and will improve full-body stability and coordination. These squat movements come ...

Hinge Movements

Defined as a stationary hip dominant pattern and can be considered one of the most important movement patterns for sport and life. Many hinge exercises will strengthen the total body and target the posterior chain with the primary muscles being the g...

Lunge Movements

Defined as the knee and hip working together with the transition of one leg, the lunge is a fundamental movement pattern that requires lower body strength and coordination. Lunge exercises have a single-leg focus, which requires less weight and will ...

Horizontal Pressing Movements

Defined as moving an object away from the torso in a horizontal line, this movement type utilizes the muscles of the anterior upper body. These exercises come in various loading implements, body positions, and intent.

Vertical Pressing Movements

Defined as moving an object in a vertical line relative to the torso, this type requires overhead shoulder strength and stability. Pushing overhead will primarily utilize the deltoids and strengthen the shoulder stabilizers. These exercises come in v...

Horizontal Pulling Movements

Defined as moving an object toward the torso in a horizontal line, this movement type utilizes the muscles of the posterior upper body. These exercises come in various loading implements, body positions, and intent.

Vertical Pulling Movements

Defined as bringing an object in a vertical line to the body, this movement type requires overhead shoulder strength and stability. The hand and grip positioning will dictate the prime movers during a vertical pulling exercise. These exercises come i...
