In any sport with rotational or single leg stance demands, the lateral trunk plays an important, if somewhat supporting role in positioning the pelvic to optimise leverage.
The Lateral Trunk Category is organised to primarily reinforce quality limbo-pelvic postures under lateral strain which support a greater athletic development principle of optimising hip extension for athletic performance. On top of that coordination we then strive to develop that postural strength for massive amounts of endurance.
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.
