Relearn Fundamental Movements
- Practice the seven fundamental movement patterns daily: rotation, locomotion, squat, hinge, lunge, push, and pull.
- Restore range of motion first, then layer stability and strength to move pain-free and functionally.
Mobility Is Strength
- Mobility equals strength when you train full range of motion and positional control.
- Restoring full range often reveals strength you thought you lost with age.
Apply The Joint‑By‑Joint Rule
- Use the joint-by-joint approach: alternate mobile and stable joints up the chain (toe mobile, foot stable, ankle mobile, knee stable, hip mobile, core stable, T-spine mobile, scapula stable, shoulder mobile).
- Target the specific dysfunctional joint to fix related injuries instead of generic training.
