Special Episode 4.5 Highlights

Interview with Lee Burton

Co-Creator of the Functional Movement Scree

www.FunctionalMovement.com

This episode is all about the Functional Movement Screen and Corrective Exercise

Lee answers common questions about the FMS:

• Who can use the FMS?
• Who should we assess with it?
• Is the FMS trying to turn trainers into therapists?
• 7 Point Screen or the 5 Point Screen
• If I'm a "3", why do I feel asymmetrical?
• How do I know if the dysfunction is stability or mobility?
• How do I choose the best corrective exercises?
• Where do I put corrective exercises in my program?
• Should corrective exercises always be part of the workout?
• How often do I re-test?
• How do I progress the exercises?
• What is the best way to use the FMS with groups?
• What are the differences between all of the DVD packages?

If you use the FMS, you do not want to miss this episode. Lee clears up a lot of confusion about how to use the FMS and what to do after you use it.

Ask Gray Cook

Gray Cook answers your questions from the StrengthCoach.com forum.
This week Gray answers the question:
"I know people talk about how shoulder "issues" are frequently related to opposite side hip lack of ROM, stability, function. I assume that would also mean that issues in the ITB would also contribute to opposite side shoulder issues? Is there anything other than soft tissue work i.e. ball,foam roller work you can do for the ITB?"

Check out the Chop & Lift articles Gray talks about in his answer.
