The Essential Eight Fundamental Movement Patterns
The Essential Eight Fundamental Movement Patterns
Squat, Lunge, Hip Hinge, Push, Pull, Carry, Twist, and Locomotion! These are the 8 fundamental movement patterns that we all move through everyday.
Many common orthopedic injuries—such as ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, lower back pain, and hip impingements—stem from dysfunctional movement patterns. Our book illustrates the direct connection between these poor movement patterns and the development of orthopedic issues. By understanding and correcting these patterns, you can significantly reduce the risk of injury and improve your patients' overall mobility and quality of life.
