I came upon UpRight Movement at a time in my life when I needed encouragement and motivation. At that time my health, stamina, and weight were becoming a problem for me. I knew that I could be more fit and energetic but just needed a few tools to get there. UpRight Movement was absolutely integral in my steps toward better health and self care.
Meka HuntWho Is This Training For?

What You Do in This Phase of Training
An Individual’s Abilities + Expected Movement Demands = Proper Movement Based Planning
There are at least three filters that we may use to determine a starting point for your program, which help us to identify your functional symmetry, limitations, and risk of injury.
Fundamental: Breathing, Gripping, Head-Eye Tracking, Reaching, Leg Raising, Supine, Rolling, Prone, Hip Flexion/Extension, Short Foot Posture.
Transitional: Quadruped, Rotary Stability, Trunk Stability, Crawling, Half Kneeling, Full Kneeling.
Functional: Lunging, Stepping, Squatting, Carrying, Gait, Skipping, Running, Deceleration, Acceleration, Jumping, and Hopping.
Together these movement filters provide us with an accurate picture of your movement and performance capacity. Based on the information gathered during the Intake Session we can identify areas of opportunity for improvement and help to establish training routines that support you in feeling, moving, and performing better.
What you take away from the intake session:
- Prehab (or pre-habilitation) is a proactive approach to injury reduction.
- Restorative exercises that focus on postural muscles and developmental movements.
- Approximately 90 minutes
- Optional INTAKE + (Intake with one additional “learn by doing” session to be scheduled soon thereafter).
