He highlights the evolution of his approach from basic bodybuilding routines to more personalized, functional training methods.Holistic Approach: The discussion underscores the need for a holistic approach to training, incorporating various aspects such as movement screening, wearables, client feedback, and continuous assessment.

Deibler explains how breathing exercises can improve movement quality and reduce stress, while recovery strategies like sleep and nutrition are crucial for overall well-being.Collaboration and Referrals: The importance of collaboration between fitness professionals and healthcare providers is highlighted.

Assessing ankle mobility involves a Functional Movement Screen and tests like the broad jump, vertical jump, and comparing right vs left leg performance. Correcting ankle mobility issues involves specific exercises and understanding the underlying causes, such as muscle tone or joint alignment. Effective ankle mobility training should be integrated into overall movement patterns and rehabilitation to ensure comprehensive improvement and prevent compensatory injuries.SymmioWelcome to Functional Health & Wellness!Functional Movement Systems YouTube Facebook Instagram X (Twitter) Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter

If the hip isn't functioning properly, it can lead to stress on the back and knees, making it crucial for overall body function.Functional Patterns Over Isolated Exercises: Instead of focusing solely on isolated muscle strengthening or flexibility exercises, the podcast advocates for addressing functional movement patterns and restoring overall movement patterns, especially for the hips.Stability vs. Mobility: A balance between stability and mobility is crucial. The back should be stable but able to move as needed, while the hip should be mobile. Overemphasis on stiffness can lead to compensatory issues in other parts of the body.Assessment and Movement Screen: Effective assessment involves looking at overall movement patterns and not just isolated tests. This episode discusses the limitations of standard movement screens and suggests that a more comprehensive approach is needed.Practical Exercises for Hip Function: Exercises like single-leg deadlifts, Turkish get-ups, and half-kneeling chops are recommended to maintain or restore hip function. These exercises help integrate movement patterns and improve functional performance.Take a deeper dive into Mobility and StabilityIn the Mobility Course, Gray guides you with his insights into global movement patterns and screening to differentiate mobility limitations due to tissue quality from those caused by inappropriate tone.

Summary: This episode of the Movement Podcast emphasizes that mobility and stability are fundamental to movement optimization. Both are essential, with mobility referring to the freedom of motion and stability to the control of that motion.Assessment Challenges: Measuring mobility is relatively straightforward with tools like goniometers. However, assessing stability is more complex and less consistent, especially when isolated to a single joint.Movement Consistency: A person's movement capabilities can vary significantly based on posture and load. For example, someone might have good ankle mobility on the table but struggle with balance when standing.Underlying Issues: Pain and movement problems often prompt discussions about mobility and stability. However, these issues are frequently more about the underlying causes, such as tissue quality, tone, or compensatory patterns, rather than simple mobility or stability deficits.Approach to Improvement: Effective intervention often requires a combination of mobility and stability work, tailored to the individual's needs. We suggest using a mix of exercises and assessments to identify and address the root causes of movement limitations.

SummaryThe Movement Podcast discusses removing wellness barriers through education, functional wellness screens, and the importance of self-care for healthcare professionals.Highlights
