While studying human function is an evolving and continuous process, comprehension of function will help you view movement from a new perspective that will lead to a paradigm shift in your exercise program design. This book will help you develop consistent skills based on human movement and help you enhance function through creative latitude while adding multiple tools to your productive toolbox.

We study functional anatomy to understand how motion is a product of the cause and effects of movement, limitations, compensations, and the resultant actions. Based on an understanding of the continuous thread of connective tissue, adjacent muscles, and soft tissue, we can view motion and begin to ask the very important questions of what?…how?…when?…why?

The answers to those questions will guide us in treatment and exercise programming for our clients and patients.

In this 40-minute talk, podiatrist Emily Splichal talks about proprioceptive training by challenging our thinking of joint stability and unstable surface training.

When asked about ankle stability training, most people think of wobble boards and other forms of balance training. Podiatrist Emily Splichal flips that idea in this discussion of how proprioceptive training works, then provides her suggestions for building a successful ankle stability program.

Overuse injuries are commonly associated with the force of impact from the ground, but is there more we should be watching for? And are there ways to mitigate impact force? In this session, podiatrist Emily Splichal explains how to think about impact, and how footwear can help or hurt your clients, athletes and patients.

In this lecture, podiatrist Emily Splichal explains how the muscles and bones of the foot and ankle work, and how we can use barefoot training to increase power and agility in clients and athletes.

In this discussion, Eric Chessen invites stretching expert Marjorie Brook to explain how stretching can help multiply the results of strength training. His questions, and her answers, range from why stretching works, to its importance and how to weave it into an already full training program.

There's still a lot of confusion over when and how to stretch, and if we should even be stretching. What does it do, what doesn't it do? In this talk, Charlie Weingroff explains the science and gives us an idea of when, how and who should stretch.

Emily Splichal has a passion for teaching barefoot training. Her goal in this lecture is to teach you how to integrate corrective exercise techniques or strategies to optimize the propulsive phase of gait in your clients, athletes and patients.

In this lecture, podiatrist Emily Splichal discusses footwear, the most current footwear science, and the shoe needs of different sports. She also covers orthotics, minimalist shoes and other footwear topics.

In this lecture, Health from the Ground Up: A Practical Guide to Understanding Feet, Ankles and Shoes, wellness coach Ron Jones covers the topics from A to Z.

In this discussion, Sarah Young asks podiatrist Emily Splichal the questions you've wondered about when considering or recommending barefoot training. How does it benefit us; what's important about it and why?

In this lecture, podiatrist Emily Splichal tells us how to optimize proprioception for fall reduction programming.

This lecture, The Miracle of Crawling, is Tim Anderson's reintroduction of one of our earliest movements, our original locomotion. Crawling is more than just something we did or should have done as a baby; it's an integral part of who we are.

We're all familiar with autism from a distance, but have you considered adding an autism fitness program to your youth training business? Do you have enough knowledge to help your friend or relative with an autistic child's fitness needs? Autism fitness expert Eric Chessen gives us an overview of his thinking in this lecture on working in fitness with people of all ages with autism.

The 2012 International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists Conference was held in Quebec in October 2012. Gray Cook was a keynote speaker.

This is a discussion between Sarah Young and Gabe Skinner, who both do bodywork as well as training runners. Three of their go-to drills are breathing, crawling and training the getup, and in this talk they'll tell you why those work so well for all of us, but especially for runners.

In this free lecture, David Weck, creator of the BOSU and WeckMethod, describes his program and tells why it's important in your training.

In this session of Talks at Google: Where Great Minds Meet, Gray Cook joins an impressive list of trendsetters invited to speak at Google.

In this free talk, Gray Cook discusses the difference between schooling and education, and explains why we need to participate in both.
