This Powerpoint presentation presents the information that is the basis for my seminars. The "Bulletproof" series of seminars relies on understanding these key principles. If you understand this well, the seminar will be much more effective. The YouTube video I am making will contain the lecture which is 40mins long and can be found at http://youtu.be/n3a3naVTxIs

3.  Definitions
 Mobility
 Flexibility
 Stability
 Dissociation
 “Specific” vs
“Functional”
 What is “normal”
movement
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

4.  What is “abnormal” or
“dysfunctional”
movement
 Injury Prevention
 Training and
Rehabilitation Principles
 Principles of Assessment
and Treatment
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

5. Mobility:
 The ability to move or be moved
freely and easily
 In Crossfit: The ability to move
through the necessary range of
motion for the prescribed
movements to achieve optimal
efficiency and the required
movement standards
 How well can you move with
what you have
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

6. Flexibility:
 The quality of bending
easily without breaking
 In CrossFit: The amount
of range of motion you
have across one or more
joints
 How far can you move
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

7. Stability:
 The ability to maintain the desired
trajectory despite kinetic, kinematic
or control disturbances
 In Crossfit: The ability to complete
the prescribed movements without
excessive shearing or unwanted
motion in all joints
 How well you can control your
movement and posture

Stability of a dynamic system requires
consideration of the level of load, the mobility
requirements, predictability of the task and
real or perceived risk
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

8. Dissociation:
 The disconnection or
separation of something from
something else or the state of
being disconnected.
 In Crossfit: The ability to
move one body part without
moving other body parts
 How well you can keep
something still while
moving something else
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

9. “Specific” vs “Functional”:
 When most people say
“functional”, they mean
“specific”
 Most movements serve a
function
 Choose specific
movements for your goal!
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

10.  You have to know what
normal is for the activity
you are doing
 Technique
 Normal ROM
 Strength/Flexibility/
Control
 Movement standards
 Goal of movement
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

11.  Deviations from normal
 Painful movement
 Consider
 Different techniques,
 Anatomical differences,
 What are you training
for?
 Ability of your athlete
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

12.  What movements are we
testing?
 Problem Movements /
Postures
 Activities of daily living
 Exercises that cause
symptoms or poor
performance
 Stretches that cause
symptoms
 Specific movements of the
regions involved
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

13.  What is their starting
position/posture like?
 Look at the whole body
 Start from the feet up or
from the head down
 Use test/retest to see if it
is a problem
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

14.  How do they move?
 What is their technique like?
 What is their first
movement?
 Do poor starting positions get
better, worse or stay the
same?
 What is the range of the
movement?
 What exhibits failed load
transfer first?
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

15.  What region shows the
earliest signs of “Failed Load
Transfer”?
 The first region that moves or
stays still in an undesired way
 Sometimes this is very subtle
 I use Coach’s Eye to help my
patients see it too
 Coaches often have better
eyes than Physios and other
health professionals!
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

16.  For that region, what
system from the
Integrated Systems
Model is the “Primary
Driver”
 There can be “Co-
Drivers” meaning 2 or
more reasons why
dysfunction is occuring
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

17. The Integrated Systems
Model (Lee and Lee 2007)
 Holistic
 Can apply to any region
 Flexible to adapt to new
research findings
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

18. The person in the centre of
the puzzle:
 Goals
 Virtual Body
 Story
 Emotions
 Meaning
 How you affect your own
body
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

19. Articular System:
 Bones
 Cartilage
 Ligaments
 Capsule
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

20. Myofascial System:
 Muscles
 Fascia
 Tendons
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

21. Neural System
 Central Nervous System
 Brain
 Spinal Cord
 Peripheral Nervous
System
 Nerves
 Includes Motor Control
(Co-ordination)
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

22. Visceral System:
 Internal organs and their
tissues
 I also include medical
conditions, blood
vessels, and lymphatic
system
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

23. Strategies for
Performance and
Function:
 Technique
 How you do what you do
 How many ways can you
do the same thing?
 Is your way exacerbating
or relieving the problem?
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

24. Once the main region and
the main system has been
found, it gets easier:
 Specific treatment to
 Address restrictions
 Correct posture
 Teach correct
coordination
 Teach correct movement
patterns
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

25. Treatment Principles:
 Target Specific Regions
 Use Specific Positions
relevant to the problem
movement
 Get Specific Results
 Use pre-treatment testing
and retesting (Test/Retest)
 I don’t care what you do or
use provided it is legal!
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

26.  How do we rehab?
 Specifically
 Many people say
"functionally" but they
mean specifically!

28.  Key Principle 1: Specific
Region
 Isolate the movement to the
joint / muscle / nerve /
regions you want
 Key Principle 2: Specific
Position
 Use positions that are similar
to your problem movement
 Key Principle 3: Specific
Results
 Test after 30secs – it should
be helping by now
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

29.  How do we scale?
 Within the limits of
the
correct
technique/movement
 Mobility and Flexibility Training
 Stability Training
 Strength, Power, Speed and Met-
Con Training
 A good coach and
programming
 "Mechanics, Consistency,
Intensity"
www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

30.  What is an increased risk of
injury?
 More likely to get injured
when you push the body’s
systems to their endpoints
 How do we decrease the risk of
injury?
 Improve their technique
 Limit shearing and
compression forces
 Optimize fitness
 How do we "prevent" injuries?
 I don’t think we can...I think
we can only decrease the risk

31.  “Bulletproof” Your Body


www.mypteducation.com (c) 2014

32.  Goals:
 Everyone will experience a
“wow!” moment at some
stage during the seminar
 To challenge your beliefs
about mobility, flexibility,
stability, and strength
 To teach you how to take
care of yourself and how
your coach and health
professional is part of your
team

33.  Nicole had 4 months of
worsening hip pain
 Couldn’t squat or run

anymore
Seen others but nothing
helped
Came to seminar skeptical
(thrown in as a last minute
replacement)
Check out her squat
5mins later, we had it
sorted

34. Before
After

squat again – only 1
session needed

36.  “The magic happens in
person”
 You can only learn so much
from reading and watching
videos

significant amount of
knowledge but I know few
people who could
implement what I have just
gone through on their own
