Phase 2 Training: Move Better

In Phase 2: Move Better; we utilize an integrative full-body movement process to improve coordination and load-bearing. We focus on movement health and fitness integrity prior to placing your body under greater demand in Phase 3. Expected outcome: Move Better.

I began training with UpRight Movement after a knee injury, and the results were almost immediate. The exercises and techniques were unlike anything I was doing in physical therapy. Each time I met with my physical therapist, he would comment on how quickly I was recovering. UpRight Movement assisted with my recovery, while increasing my fitness focused on injury reduction. UpRight Movement has helped me loose thirty pounds and change my life!

Who Is This Training For?

Some of the Bio-Markers we commonly see in Phase 2 Clients are:

  • Performs activities of daily living adequately, occasional injuries, pain or history of pain
  • Exercises little to none, within a structured strength program
  • Low to moderate level of tolerance to strength training, usually experiences soreness and little to no improvement
  • FMS Score*: 8 – 14 = MOVE BETTER
  • *Any Pain 0s or 1s scored during the performance of the FMS will be addressed within the FEEL BETTER phase and referred to our Physical Therapy Partner, Pivotal Connections.

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).
