'Proofing' of Low-gait Position
Check & priming of the joints & articulations
THE WHAT:
Proofing of low-gait using visualisations and the concept of weight-shifting through levels to structure. Explore what is available to you currently, not where you expect or want yourself to be. Get to know your ranges in TRUTH, and look forward to the onward journey. Be sure to check out the 'Perspective of Proofing' resource for a foundational understanding of this concept to support ongoing practice.
Rather than the repetitive execution of fixed routines for the purpose of mobilization, prehabilitation, or even mobility development (although they do have their place), 'proofing' is essentially a "checking" of the articulations to ask oneself the fundamental question: "how am I moving today"? In this process, physiological exploration goes hand-in-hand with self-awareness toward developing mindfulness of the body in movement. The series includes the following areas of application:
- Squat proofing
- Proofing of the spine
- Proofing of the wrists
- Proofing of low-gait position
- Proofing of the shoulders, scapula & rotator cuffs
- Proofing of the ankles & knees

Low-gait locomotion: 'Travelling Pu-B...
THE WHAT:
Two basic low-gait patterns incorporating the 'pu-bu/drop-stance' position. It should be performed with great deliberation & awareness toward weight-shifting (the movement of your centre of mass through space over your 2x bases of support, your legs), and a desire for quality (i.e. know... -
The ‘AT-AT walker’
THE WHAT:
A "high-gait" quadrupedal locomotion pattern inspired by the giant machine ‘AT-AT's’ of the Star Wars universe. Whilst restrictions in posterior-chain mobility can be the main challenge in adhering to the one and only rule in this context, keeping the backside as HIGH as possible throug...
