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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
The Functional Movement Screen is like an eye chart…
but for your movement.

Discharged from care doesn’t always mean fully ready.
In 10,000+ Symmio assessments, about 30% reported ongoing pain & high musculoskeletal risk after release from medical care.
Better screening, handoffs & professional networks can help guide next step.
