Webinars & Workshops

Part 1 · Lecture & Theory

How the lower limb actually works

• Biomechanics of the knee, ankle, and foot
• Key muscles and joint actions driving inversion and eversion at the transverse arch and calcaneus
• How the tibia and femur organizes around the position of the pelvis and foot
• Foot supination and pronation, what actually drives it
• Open chain vs. closed chain muscle function

Part 2 · Assessment & Application

Exercises you can use right away

• How to assess lower limb mechanics in a clinical or coaching setting
• Identifying relative motion changes that lead to dysfunctional movement patterns and how that impacts lower body exercises
• Targeted exercises to improve lower limb mechanics that build real strength
• Building a simple, reproducible framework for your sessions

As a movement professional, you've seen it:
A client can't squat without back pain.
Step-ups flare their knee.
Running's off-limits because their SI joint always fights back.

You've tried your best- modifying, avoiding, accommodating. But it's starting to feel like they're stuck, and maybe you are too.

If you've ever felt like you're guessing or like you don't have the tools to help them move forward…

I want you to know- I've been there too.

After more than a decade of coaching, I almost walked away from the field completely.
I was burnt out, frustrated, and constantly second-guessing myself—especially when my own body was hurting, too.

This case study is a window into what changed everything.

Case Study Info

Kelly is a 40-year-old runner who works full-time at a desk job. She used to play soccer and still wants to, but back pain has made it nearly impossible.

Here's what she's dealing with:

• Chronic low back pain on both sides
• Burning, constant tension in her erectors and QL
• Deadlifts, glute bridges, and hinging movements all cause pain
• Sprinting and quick-change sports like soccer flare her symptoms
• She's had a long history of lower body injuries: left quad tear, right quad tendon tear, high ankle sprain, and an old clavicle fracture
• Sitting at her desk worsens the pain—but long runs do not

Kelly strength trains when she can, but inconsistency and pain have kept her from progressing. Her biggest goal? To play soccer and lift weights without flaring up her back.

Join me for a deep dive into the science and application of connective tissue training. Together, we'll explore practical strategies that will transform how you design programs, work with clients, and guide them toward better movement and lasting results.

In this 90-minute live session, we'll explore:

• How connective tissue operates and its role in efficient movement.
• Discovering the free energy system and how to optimize it for sustained energy.
• The diaphragms' role in improving joint positioning and tension relationships.

Understanding and training connective tissue can help you move with less effort, recover faster, and prevent injury—all while improving strength and mobility.

These principles are essential for trainers, athletes, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the body.

Expect to learn:

• The anatomy and kinematics of the pelvis, femur and hip joint, including the concepts of roll and glide.
• The biomechanics of the squat and split squat
• Understanding the stack
• Compensations in a squat and split squat
• Optimizing the mid range to reduce compensations
• Practical strategies
• Live application of midrange techniques
• A full exercise playlist to optimize your movement.

Expect to learn:

• Foot Function and Biomechanics
• Pronation and Supination at the Foot and Up the Chain
• Common Compensatory Foot Presentations
• Understanding the Tripod
• Foot Pressure Testing
• Standing Rotation
• Case Studies
• Teaching Pronation and Supination
• Top Down and Bottom Up View of Common Postures
• Pelvis and Thorax Exercises

Expect to:

• Programming theory and why principles are more important than rules and how to develop a top down and bottom up approach to deliver the best program.
• Understand the importance of client assessment, both subjective and objective and a client intake to help you set goals that are achievable and will lead to buy in and success.
• Learn programming terminology; the difference between power, strength, and hypertrophy, and linear vs. undulating periodization.
• Learn how to manipulate volume, intensity, complexity and load and how to categorize exercises so you hit all the main movements in your program.
• Learn to develop a daily and weekly structure and how to prioritize recovery based on peripheral and nervous system fatigue.
• Put all of the pieces of Part 1 together as we take you through a full case study to develop a 12 week program for a client, to include daily, weekly, and monthly breakdown with specifics of exercise selection, volume and load changes, and monthly and weekly options for periodization.
• Receive the template we used on the webinar as well as access to our client intake form.

• Understand Diastasis and the different areas where it can occur as well as risk factors.
• Understand why position and shape of our bodies may cause us to develop these leaks.
• Breakdown extension pattern and sway back posture and understand how to improve these postures to prevent or help with these leaks.
• Learn to test for areas of compression and ways to improve possible areas.
• Go over specific areas for each area of compression, including: Posterior Thorax (high and low), Anterior Thorax (high and mid), Posterior Pelvis, and Sway Back Postures (specific exercises for rectus dominance.) Playlist is included.
