Below are some of the major points taken from the Pod Cast, Click on the link at the bottom to hear the entire Pod Cast.

• Some of the same mistakes made in nutrition are often made in exercise conditioning and rehabilitation.
• Many times, the best thing an individual can do in nutrition is to stop eating or consuming something in particular.  With that said, many times, the best thing an individual can do in exercise is to stop doing something in particular.
• A higher success rate can be achieved at times from simply discussing what a patient or client should cease doing and then advising them other things later.
• It doesn’t matter what the excise is or how important it seems, if it is going against a movement pattern that you don’t possess, then no benefit can come of it because you are already forced into a compensation mode.
• Remove negatives to add positives.
• It is argued that what you ask a patient or client to stop doing is equally, if not more, important than what you ask them to start doing.
• Situational Correctness-- not all exercise is good all the time (according to Brett Jones).
• Just because a patient or client is asked to stop an exercise, it does not mean it is permanent.
• The Functional Movement Screen will first tell you to stop doing certain things.
• Movement patterns that are considered deficient should not be exercised (do not rehearse or load a bad pattern).
• Emphasize quality, increase joint mobility, and reinforce joint stability in corrective exercise.
• Muscle stabilizers should compliment the prime movers.
• The Functional Movement Screening philosophy-- complete movement screen correctly and reliably, listen to what the movement screen indicates, do not reinforce movement patterns that are asymmetrical or severely limited, use corrective strategies and body work, foam rolls, and sticks to break through mobility problems, conservatively re-establish static stability (first) and dynamic stability (after), and then revisit the pattern to see if a change is made.
