Horizontal Pulling The shoulder is a highly mobile joint. The horizontal pushing series is about first understanding a shoulder position which is conducive to intense loading for promoting health and performance in parallel. This series is about challenging that position under ‘distraction’ loads with increasing coordinative complexity all the while integrating shoulder function with lumbo-pelvic control to optimise the athletic shoulder.

The Corrective Theme is the initial phase of a 4-part movement hierarchy. This Theme contains exercises which promote good movement quality first. Here we expose range of motion deficits & poor coordination that will derail progression & transfer of training. Exercises in the Corrective Theme stimulate reflexive stabilisation in optimal postures at priority joints with dynamic control that will scale to support more complex exercise variations.
