Low back pain is common. Knowing where to start is often the harder part. Join Dr. Lee Burton for Movement Solutions for Low Back Pain with ACSM. Learn practical screening, movement, lifestyle, and exercise strategies.

Test back stability while someone sits and you miss the real problem. Stand them up and two asymmetrical hips force the back to give up stability. Gray Cook explains. Watch the full episode: #lowbackpain

Mike Boyle | Movement Podcast | EP109 Some of the most useful ideas in training started as a conversation. Mike Boyle tells how the joint-by-joint approach went from a bar napkin in Chicago to a framework coaches still use nearly 19 years later. Watch

Only a few days left. Learn directly from Dr. Todd Arnold, whose experience spans sports medicine, movement assessment, and elite performance with USA Track & Field. Running & Sprinting: Assessment to Performance Oct 24 Live on Zoom Register:

Shoulder mobility issue? Check the neck too. A quick cervical screen can help reveal whether neck limitations may be contributing to what you’re seeing at the shoulder. Better screening leads to better decisions. #FMS #MovementScreen

“If you run like this and you move like this…” Todd Arnold calls what happens next “the magic.” See how improving movement dysfunction can influence running mechanics, injury risk, and performance. #FMS #Running #SportsPerformance

Balance problems don’t always mean you need an unstable surface. Start with partial weight-bearing, load the side that needs work, then progress toward single-leg balance. Progress the challenge. Don’t overwhelm the system. #FMS #MotorControl

If balance is the issue, don’t always make balance harder. Start with the transition. Lower-level positions can help build mobility, weight shift, and single-leg stability before asking the body to own the full position. #FMS #BalanceTraining

Need more spinal stability? Compression can help create it. This quadruped drill uses a ball against the wall to reinforce position, then adds an arm raise for an anti-rotation challenge. Simple setup. Strong feedback. #FMS #SpinalStability

Sometimes the problem isn’t the exercise—it’s too much coaching. If someone struggles with bird dogs or quadruped diagonals, simplify the position and remove the noise. Better starting point. Better motor control. #FMS #MotorControl

Running & Sprinting: Assessment to Performance with Todd Arnold & Phil Plisky. You will learn to identify movement patterns that influence running mechanics through real athlete case studies, video analysis, and practical movement assessments.

The 90/90 position can reveal a lot about hip mobility. If one side feels dramatically different, don’t force it. Add a pad or bolster to create a better starting position and make the stretch more useful. Better position. Better mobility work. #FMS #HipMobility

A good screen doesn’t just show what someone struggles with. It helps shape the program. Single-leg, split stance, symmetrical stance—each gives you different information you can build into training. FMS Quick Screen + Corrective Strategies bundle:

Deadlifts aren’t just a lower-body exercise. If the shoulders round and the lats disengage, you lose connection and stability. This strap drill gives instant feedback when scapular control breaks down. Sometimes the best cue is one the body can feel. #FMS #Deadlift

The updated FMS Academy introduces 3 Professional Specializations this fall: Rehab Integration Fitness & Performance Functional Wellness Choose the path that fits your practice and keep growing with more structure and direction. Explore:

Small changes can completely change an exercise. With chops, a wider grip can challenge the lower body and core. Handles can shift the focus toward the shoulder, scapula, and rotation through the hands. Same exercise family. Different intent. #FMS #MovementEducation
