INFORMATION FOR COACHES
In NASCAR or speed racing the formula for success (besides avoiding crashes) is quite simple: the most efficient car with the fewest mechanical and functional defects will most often win or finish very high.
When dealing with athletes and teams, this also holds true. Nationally respected master trainer Gray Cook has been quoted as saying, "Either nature or competition will find an overlooked weakness." The truth of that statement likely resonates in those who have experience in athletics.
The bad news is that when nature or competition finds that overlooked weakness, its often shows its ugly face in the form of poor performance, injury, or delayed rehab. The good news is we often can find them before that!

Athletic movement is a progression of segmental joint motion in fluid synergy
Athletic movements and human motor programs are influenced by joint stiffness, muscle tightness, or altered segmental stability
Overlooked dysfunctions can rob athletes of speed and power, or cause joint and muscle breakdown elsewhere in the kinetic chain
Consquences of Training with Segmental Joint Dysfunction and Instability
What's the Tipping Point?
Performing or training on a weak foundation of functional movement and individual joint motion will ultimately lead to tipping of the performance pyramid and INJURY.
JointFit can help correct these foundational issues to reduce risk of injury and improve functional movement.
