Expected Outcomes: Students can expect to have a base knowledge in fascia and how it can restrict, and inhibit movement in an unhealthy state. Students can expect to also have an understanding of how the fascial chains work together in a healthy way to support and increase movement, strength and mobility by learning basic exercises to retrain their posture and activate dormant muscles. 

Narrative: Functional Movement Fundamentals is a six week course where you'll learn to increase mobility, rehydrate your tissues and restore your posture. Weeks 1 & 2 will focus on the issues in your tissues. We will be using two different sizes of massage balls  to break up adhered tissues that may be limiting your range of motion and inhibiting movement. In weeks 3-6 we will be focusing on functional movement exercises that will allow you to slowly retrain your posture and build strength and endurance. Combining these two approaches to tissue health will be the perfect way to jump start or reinvigorate your fitness journey!
