“Make the impossible, possible; the possible, easy; and the easy, elegant.” Moshe Feldenkrais UpRight Movement utilizes the diversity of our obstacle course to help develop essential movement skills as a foundation of fitness and injury risk reduction. The nature of the obstacle course is self-limiting and self-correcting, promoting functional movements in order to traverse it efficiently. At UpRight Movement we view the following movement skills as the foundation of Human Movement and Performance: 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. By training movement that moves through changing environments, you become adept at quickly and intuitively assessing and solving new obstacles. It’s all about learning complex and adaptable movement for the highest levels of performance and success. LEARN TO: Use breathing control, positions, sequence, timing, and relaxation for optimum performance Be highly efficient at running, crawling, balancing, jumping, climbing techniques, all essential skills Condition and physically prepare yourself through techniques and movements closely resembling the movement patterns and physiological adaptations required for successful functional movement for life and sport. Practice efficient transitions between diverse movement patterns and physical efforts. Reduce the chance of injury UpRight Movement can help you overcome obstacles, so you can play at your best!

“Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten.” Aesop PREHAB: Pillar 101 PLEASE CONTACT FOR SCHEDULE Requires 2 – 4 people per group for class to be conducted THIS CLASS IS RATED: FEEL BETTER Click Here For Methodology Click Here for The Why, How, and What of UpRight Movement Prehab Prehab is a proactive approach to avoiding pain and injury. You’ll build strength and stability around your most vulnerable areas, while improving mobility, balance and joint function to decrease the potential for injuries. Prehab exercises strengthen your most vulnerable areas that get stressed in everyday movement: your hips, core and shoulders. Also known as your “pillar,” strengthening these areas will improve posture and alignment, allowing your joints to move more efficiently. You’ll also build up your most injury-prone areas before you’re struck with chronic aches and pain that may, in the worst cases, require surgery. The Deep Core: Temporalis Masseter Scalenes Hyoid Muscles Longus Colli and Capitis Diaphragm Transverse Abdominis Pelvic Floor Multifidus Psoas Quadratus Lumborum Iliacus Adductors Posterior Tibialis Toe Flexors Pillar 101 Pillar strength is the foundation for all movement. It consists of your hip, core, and shoulder stability. Those three areas provide a center axis from which to move. Think of your body as a wheel. Your pillar is the hub and your limbs are the spokes. It’s impossible to move your limbs efficiently and forcefully if they’re not attached to something solid and stable. That’s your pillar—all the muscles that connect your hips, torso, and shoulders. When these areas are properly aligned, you can transfer energy throughout your body more effectively,...

“Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.” Thomas Dekker SLEEP DEBT ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE The following questionnaire has been taken from The Promise of Sleep by Dement and Vaughan. How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? Score yourself using this scale: 0 = would never doze 1 = slight chance of dozing 2 = moderate chance of dozing 3 = high chance of dozing Sitting and reading Watching TV Sitting, inactive in a public place, e.g., a theater or meeting As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit Sitting and talking to someone Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol In a car while stopped for a few minutes in traffic Evaluate your total score as follows: 0-5 Slight or no sleep debt 6-10 Moderate sleep debt 11-20 Heavy sleep debt 21-25 Extreme sleep debt Hacking Sleep: Engineering a High Quality, Restful Night Getting enough sleep beats any supplement. If you can get 30-60 min more each night, you’ll recover better, manage blood sugar better, lose fat / gain muscle more easily, and make smarter decisions. Of course, “get more sleep” is an outcome. We can’t control that. We only control behaviors. Thus, “sleep X hours” isn’t the goal. The goal is to do the stuff that, when done consistently, lead you towards more/better sleep. For example, you can: Build a pre-bed sleep ritual Establish a consistent sleep schedule Sleep environment: Dark – Quiet – Cool Organize workout schedule to promote evening relaxation...
