Move better, prevent injuries and understand the body in action. Whether you are a coach, a rehabilitation professional or an athlete, understanding movement and its relationship to performance and health equips you with powerful, practical knowledge. Now in its second edition, this book provides the tools for understanding and working with movement in simple but effective ways, with even more user-friendly tips to uncover potential physical barriers and unlock the potential for fluent, effortless movement. \

In this new edition, Joanne Elphinston introduces functional force management (FFM) as a concept for understanding the different control strategies needed between sports, how it influences training choice, and its relationship to injury prevention as well as performance. The book includes an updated Foundations and Fundamentals section with an entirely new chapter on FFM, as well as in-depth exploration of these principles in each key body zone.

Packed with full-color and black and white images to illustrate the techniques and concepts involved, this timely text provides a comprehensive chapter on analyzing movement, followed by a progressive integrated program of stability, mobility, coordination and balance to create the foundation for effective movement, from early activation through to higher level neuromuscular activities. Sample programs and clinical examples help the reader to understand the application of this approach across a variety of sports.

The techniques and philosophy within the book have been applied with international-level athletes in disciplines as diverse as swimming, badminton, gymnastics, karate, cycling, weight lifting, basketball, athletics, snow sports, football, golf, equestrian sports and tennis. However, they have been applied equally effectively by people of all ages and ability levels as they come to understand their bodies and learn to work with them systematically from sound foundations.
