Strength

Strategies we used to explore our world and gain sensory input as a child are the origins of strength, stability, and mobility.

• Reactive aspects of these strategies serve as a foundation for all strength activities throughout life.

– Roll (Rotation/anti-rotation)

– Extend (Posterior chain)

– Creep (Contralateral/Anterior strength)

– Rock (Hip mobility/stability)

– Crawl (Contralateral/Anterior strength and stability)

– Squat/hinge (Core strength/Stability)

– Get up/get down (Mobility/Strength/Power
