Movement 360: a new perspective on human motion

Presented by Chuck Wolf more info

He is the Director of Human Motion Associates, based in Orlando, Florida, and is a Fellow of Applied Functional Science with the Gray Institute. Chuck consults with a wide range of clients, from those seeking rehabilitation to high level professional athletes.

To appreciate the integrated chain action of the human body, you need to understand how it moves from the ground up. The majority of training textbooks and programs break the chain and encourage links of isolated movements that are independent of adjacent joints.
