Ankle-dorsiflexion development
BW 'front-folding'-range
•
1m 10s
THE WHAT:
Whist consistent practice of these two simple forms contributes toward developing range & elasticity in ankle-dorsiflexion, their form & position (i.e. 'hinged' in the hip), also affects the hamstrings of the 'working' leg. For this reason, they are equally valuable in developing FRONT-FOLDING ranges, particularly the unilateral 'Head-to-toe' form, in which dorsiflexion ultimately becomes a limiting factor.

Unilateral 'good-morning' pulses
THE WHAT:
A simple context which takes the unilateral, straight-legged 'good-morning' form to work in the END-range only, with focus on range & elasticity development of both hinging & front-folding positions. Because of this, it has notable transferability to the front-folded 'Head-to-toe' mobil... -
Standing 'Head-to-toe' (H2T) development
THE WHAT:
A 'linear' mobility-development context (i.e. the objective is simply reaching a deeper range) emphasising unilateral front-folding - progress here does, of course, have immediate carry-over to range in bilateral contexts too.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only):

'Neck loading' & foot/shoulder "anchors"
THE WHAT:
A fundamental floor-contact concept which allows for displacement of the body in space in relation to shoulder and foot "anchors". In its combination of stepping and rolling, the context marries both OPEN kinetic-chain (extremities moving in relation to body) and CLOSED kinetic-chain (b...
