Functional Techniques: Learn Top Techniques for Optimal Results

You need movements you can rely on to bring the results your patients and clients deserve. You know many techniques, but you may not know the intent behind them. It doesn’t have to be this way. 

We developed Functional Techniques to provide movement professionals, like you, with a set of movements you can trust, the knowledge of when to use them, and the understanding of how they will benefit those you serve. You’ll level up your training, education, and outcomes as you learn several reliable, evidence-based movements and gain a working understanding of a tool, the Functional Movement Spectrum, so you can discern the purpose of movements you encounter in the future.

3DMAPS®: Three-Dimensional Movement Analysis & Performance System

3DMAPS® is our foundational course on the science of human movement. It investigates human movement in three separate dimensions of evidence-based science: the physical sciences (how we interact with the physics of our world), the biological sciences (how the body moves), and the behavioral sciences (what drives human behavior).

By honoring the integrated nature of human movement, this course will improve your analysis and evaluation, provide a reliable framework for determining what’s functional from what’s not, and it will enhance your patient/client outcomes.

Foot / Ankle: The First and Only Specialization Focusing on Chain Reaction® Biomechanics of Foot and Ankle

Most conventional movement education doesn’t offer a comprehensive breakdown of the foot and ankle. Consequently, practitioners often have to make educated guesses without understanding the true nature of the dysfunction they’re working with, nor how it influences (and is influenced) by the rest of the body.

This course fills in those gaps by examining how the feet and ankles are the foundation of the body and expanding the movement professional’s understanding of the biomechanics of the foot and ankle so he/she can successfully identify, assess, treat, and train people suffering from pain, dysfunction, and other injuries.

Functional Yoga System: Functionally Building Upon the Tradition of Yoga for Better Impact and Carryover

The most comprehensive functional yoga training course, Functional Yoga System, is designed for the human body of today while celebrating the many ways traditional yoga gets it right.

Yoga is an ancient practice bringing together body, mind, and spirit. However, our understanding of the human body has changed significantly since the physical practice of yoga was first developed. Moreover, our jobs, sports and hobbies often require repetitive motions which may lead to overuse injuries—factors that traditional yoga may not address. This one of a kind specialization will help you enhance your yoga practice by training you in the latest in functional movement.
