The TAOFit Method

Greetings Tribe,

The focus of today's class was on the Anterior Kinetic Chain - how movement (gait) flows through the front line of the body from one big toe, through medial knee, anterior hip, crossing obliquely through opposite shoulder (includes hip flexors, abdominals, pecs, & more).

I imagine the Anterior Kinetic Chain as "coiling or loading the spring" - 1.5-3x footfall force converted into kinetic energy to be released at toe off. This is hugely important for efficient walking, jogging, running, jumping, etc. When this system needs attention it usually shows up as one or more of the following symptoms.

*Tight and/or compressed hips
*Anterior hip pain
*Knee inflammation & pain
*Neck & back pain
*Chest, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand issues

Check out this deeper dive into the Deep Longitudinal Kinetic Chain and shock absorption written by mentor and dear friend Joseph Schwartz.

This is the movement theory in Tuesday's class (yesterday's post).
