Your feet are your connection to the ground. how they interact with it can influence movement throughout your entire body.

In this 90-minute Movement Lab, we’ll explore how foot position, stability, and loading affect what happens up the chain at the knees, hips, low back, and your overall posture. We’ll look at how your feet respond when you walk, squat, hinge, lift, and create force, and how that relationship influences your strength, control, balance, and ability to create power.

Who This Is For

This workshop is for anyone who wants to better understand how their feet influence the way they move. It may be especially helpful if you:

• Experience recurring foot, knee, hip, or low back discomfort

• Feel unstable or uneven when standing, walking, squatting, or lifting

• Notice one foot or leg seems to load differently than the other

• Struggle with balance, stability, or control

• Want to improve how you generate force and power when lifting or exercising

• Hike, run, bike, ski, lift, or participate in other recreational activities and want to better understand your movement

What to Expect

• 90-minute interactive workshop

• A short educational discussion followed by movement-based exploration

• Learn how your feet respond to different positions, loads, and movements

• Explore the connection between the feet, knees, hips, low back, and posture

• Exercises you can repeat at home to improve foot control, stability, and strength

• Practical applications for lifting, walking, hiking, running, and recreational activities

• Leave with a better understanding of how to use the ground to create strength, stability, and force throughout your body

Come ready to move, explore, and build a better understanding of your body from the ground up.

Where your thorax and pelvis sit in space can influence how you load and move through your entire body.

In this 90-minute Movement Lab, we’ll explore how the position of the thorax and pelvis can contribute to uneven loading and how those differences can show up in everything from walking and standing to squatting, hinging, and lifting.

We’ll look at concepts like posture, stacking, and alignment, not in search of one “perfect” position, but as tools to better understand where you literally stand and how that position may influence the way you move and train.

Our specific lens for this workshop will be the low back. If you tend to feel your lifting sessions in your back, struggle to find your hips or glutes during certain exercises, or notice that one side moves or loads differently than the other, we’ll explore some of the reasons why.

Through education and guided movement, you’ll learn how to recognize your own movement and loading patterns and develop greater body awareness that you can bring into your training sessions. The goal is to give you more information and more options so you can move, lift, and train with greater confidence and safety.

Come ready to learn, move, ask questions, and better understand how your body organizes itself from the ground up.

This workshop is limited to 10 participants. Please sign up in advance to save your spot.
