In today’s world, fitness and physical therapy are moving toward a more functional approach, prioritizing real-life movement patterns that help people achieve better health and resilience. At MOVE Performance, our training and rehabilitation programs center around the seven foundational functional movements: squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, rotate, and gait. Each of these movements enhances strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance, empowering clients in their daily lives, athletic pursuits, and recovery journeys.
Gait is simply the way we walk, run, or move. Proper gait mechanics are crucial for mobility, balance, and preventing joint strain. MOVE Performance’s gait-focused training helps clients enhance walking and running patterns, improving stability and endurance. Gait analysis is a central part of physical therapy, as it allows us to identify movement imbalances and correct them through targeted exercises. This aspect is particularly helpful for clients recovering from lower body injuries or those looking to enhance athletic performance through improved mobility.
