Product Description
Gray Cook What Drives Movement – Poor Movement Quality – Movement Correctives
Anatomy and kinesiology are important and you need to know it well, but what comes next? Do you then understand the system that governs movement? In this lecture, physical therapist Gray Cook describes the brain, muscle and joint input and output, and explains how all these come together to drive movement correctives. He then tells us how to identify the driver of poor movement quality, and how to balance correction with stress in order to improve movement quality as well as physical performance.
“What is the driver of bad movement? Does it start in the brain? Does it start in the muscles? Does it start in the joints? Is it part of a spinal cord reflex? Unless we identify the driver, we’re not going to make much change.”~Gray Cook

This a fantastic lecture which puts into very simple terms of the importance of developing a movement philosophy. He also includes a great plan of action for using the FMS corrective strategy in workouts.
