25.01.2022 Transverse abdominus is like a corset wrapped around your spine. It’s function is to stabilise your hips & core. If it doesn’t work properly, other muscles are used to over compensate. Eg. Hamstrings. (These aren’t used for stability, they are for power). Hence hamstring issues can arise if you have poor TVA.

24.01.2022 Taylored Movement Snap Backs are in!!! Just in time for Summer. PM for details Thanks to @christie_ann_kidd for being my model

24.01.2022 PEOPLE GOING CRAZY DURING RONA! Im impressed how many people are exercising and moving BUT dont be stupid and do sh*t you shouldnt be, or using incorrect equipment to get the job done. There are lots of great coaches out there to help. DM me for any advice & if you need a program or coaching please contact me before you injure yourself. Move smart people

24.01.2022 Morning routine: 1. Cold shower 2. Two min lymph brush/clear 3. Move This may look silly, BUT is the last phase of lymph work. Rebounding & skipping are brilliant for lymphatic flow. If you dont have a rebounder, just walk. Give yourself some lymph love. Its crazy how much it has helped me & so many of my clients from numerous issues

23.01.2022 SECRET TO BETTER PERFORMANCE. Its always better to do less correctly, then do more incorrectly.

23.01.2022 Do you get HEADACHES? Ever looked at your posture? Forward head posture is a big contributor to tight upper traps and sore sub-occipital muscles. Look into releasing tissue but then STRENGTHENING the deep cervical flexors (DCF) of the neck. These become weak with prolonged sitting and poor posture. @ Total Movement

22.01.2022 CRAWLING. Why are you doing them? Dynamic shoulder stability, core/hip integration, sling integration, conditioning. There are so many variations of crawl patterns, make sure youre doing the correct ones for your level, otherwise you can create problems. *TIP: If you cant do what Tess is doing here, you shouldnt be doing bear crawls or spider crawls or fatigued crawling.

22.01.2022 Cant do a body weight squat? Why would I add load to this spine? Address why they cant squat, dont add another problem by adding weight.

21.01.2022 Havent looked after my inner self for a while. This was massively needed. @floatlabaus are the best in the business and I cant recommend them enough. **Want a DEAL??** Mention my name and get a free 30 minute infra red sauna when you purchase 1 float. Do it, youll thank yourself after.

21.01.2022 Billy is back doing what he loves! Easy 145 x 2. Stability builds strength & strength build power! Billy weighs 65kg!

20.01.2022 Have you had your deep abdominal stabilisers tested? Maybe thats why youre getting back pain? The function of these muscles are to stabilise your spine & hips. If they dont work it would be like you making a brick house without the mortar. Just think about that!!

20.01.2022 Windmills. Shoulder stability + obliques stretch & strength. Awesome exercise for throwing sports. But in general great overall pattern for gen pop.

20.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all my amazing friends, family & clients. Hope you have a wonderful time through these holidays & I look forward to seeing you all soon.

19.01.2022 After a few months of hard work focusing on motor control, stability, connection, plenty of prehab work & specific strength work, Amber is moving how shes meant to move. This is only one pattern, but you can clearly see how much better this squat is unloaded. Amber was relying on load to get her into a good squat position, also adding load decreased Ambers ability to build her stability & motor control.

19.01.2022 TAYLORED MOVEMENT IS BACK! Starting Monday 18th May 2020. I will send an email out very soon with a few more details. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone if you have any questions.

19.01.2022 Following on from my last post about shoulder stability. Here is another great shoulder exercise. Kneeling pollof press with upside down KB press. If you want a brilliant core exercise that also works your anterior sling lines then this is it. Great for runners, people who kick or throw in their sports.

18.01.2022 NEVER say it’s too late to change or IMPROVE yourself. Wes is 67 years old and these pictures are taken just over a year apart. Postural endurance, mobility and dedication were the pillars for his change. Well done Wes!! Always kept chipping away and has gone to new levels of movement quality. He expressed how easy it was to pick up his grandkids and put them on his shoulders now. These are the stories I love to hear. ... Also, he’s a bloody great man to boot! *Wes was fighting 50 years of poor posture, if you’re younger than him, you are much more adaptable and easier to mould, SO MAKE the CHANGE now!

17.01.2022 Bird dog rows. What an incredible exercise to challenge shoulder and hip stability all whilst improving back strength. It always works those damn anterior sling lines which I love. Tip: To make easier, hook your foot on back of bench.

15.01.2022 How true is this statement. If it hurts, its only temporary and you can and will grow from it. If its comfortable then thats ok, but dont be comfortable all the time. Always growing & always learning

15.01.2022 Complex Training (strength/power) combined. Will post 2nd video tomorrow. Here Billy is not only doing a strength pattern, he is using strength to gain Tx rotation and integrating hip/core stability by being on knee. Perfect for boxers.

14.01.2022 Hey ALL! Wednesday 23rd December is my last day. If you have any questions or need to book in for the first week of January try & do it now. I will still have phone on me if people need to contact me to book in for January. Happy holidays to all my amazing clients & friends

13.01.2022 BREATHING! It is the most underrated, under-utilised & powerful modalities for humans. Yet we take it for granted. There are many techniques, but some of the benefits are astounding; from reducing blood pressure, alleviating asthma, allergies, sleep apnea, anxiety, and even auto immune issues. Do yourself a favour and do some research into buteyko breathing, tummo, Wim hof method. Read James Nestors book breath and read or listen to Dr Patrick Mckeon Oxygen advantage It will change your LIFE! *This is why every client of mine has some form of breathing practice in their program!

12.01.2022 5 session later & BANG! A functional OH squat pattern. (Refer to previous post for the video of Deanna & her squat) Fix your sh*t before you load a spine people

12.01.2022 Whole food, locally sourced, (Organic - if possible) nutrient dense food. If you want better results, a better chance to heal (recover), minimise inflammation (cause of many injuries & systemic issues) then you got to feed the body nutrient dense wholesome food. Pics: my BIG salad I make 2x week & a Lamb roast + roasted vege and greens.

11.01.2022 TAYLORED MOVEMENT Merchandise is now available Get your order into me if you want some T-Shirts or Hoodies.

11.01.2022 Upside down KB Press. Working grip strength by exciting the stabilizer system to help stabilize the wrist, elbow & shoulder joint. Try closing the eyes for greater neurological recruitment.

11.01.2022 Met Con MAGIC!! Blow some steam off! 4 rounds & cooked! Earn the right to train hard!

11.01.2022 Swiss Ball Mountain Climbers Great for shoulder stability, core strength and hip stability. If this is too hard, regress and put ball against wall. To progress why not try CLOSING YOUR EYES! This takes away one of your senses and challenges your motor control.

11.01.2022 Harvard Medical School recently updated their recommendations on lower back pain, and it's a breath of fresh air from seeing leaders in medicine talking about the importance of movement, the unimportance of imaging, and so much more. Some are afraid of moving and just want to rest after having their back go "out?" And dont trust my advice because Im just a coach, contradicting advice from therapist. bubble wrapping by therapists.... Well, take some data from Harvard. Movement seems to be the stimulus to normalize pain responses in the nervous system. Studies on animals with spinal injuries show faster pain resolution among those forced to exercise than among those allowed to move less, says Dr. Rainville. "This is probably the result of a survival mechanism," he says. "If an animal in the wild doesn't get moving, it is eaten or starves to death." Movement also seems to help people. "People who get moving back to the gym, back to cleaning the house do the best," says Dr. Rainville. Have back pain? You need to MOVE, trust Harvard

10.01.2022 Mobility issues can hide stability issues. Just because it FEELS tight doesnt always mean you need to stretch it, the body might be telling you it NEEDS stability there.

10.01.2022 Ergo time trials! Whether its a 1km, 2km or 30 mins. They SUCK, ask any athlete. Perfect for boxers who do 3 x 3 min rounds. Yes Boxers need endurance BUT they also need plenty of work in the Anaerobic Glycolytic System (10 sec- 2 mins). Can anyone guess a good time?

10.01.2022 Do you suffer from neck pain & headaches? Listen carefully... The sub-occipital muscles are located at and around the base of the skull and the EYES are directly correlated with these muscles. (Hence the name, occipital)... Straining the eyes by looking at phones, computers, combined with poor posture & breathing mechanics will most likely lead to sore, stiff muscles in this area. This can lead to poor rotation of the neck and of course HEADACHES. Tip: Use a dual ball (blackroll) or index and middle finger on both sides & rub it gently for 20 seconds, then push into this area gently, whilst doing this USE YOUR EYES! Look up, down, left, right, circles etc. you might actually feel the muscles contracting. Hopefully some tension is released and you feel better. ALSO, give your eyes a break from straining. Close them & breath for 2 minutes

10.01.2022 Prehab is essential for all people, especially athletes. Trap 3 exercise is a beauty for shoulder health & for activation of mid trap & serratus anterior. Its super HARD, as I dont want too much upper trap play. *Tip: You should be able to complete 8-10 reps of a weight that is 8-10% of your 1RM bench. If you cant (like most people) you have a higher risk of shoulder issues.

09.01.2022 Hinge patterns. We do them everyday. Learn how to perfect them. Chris has come a LOOONG way in his journey. Hes been hospitalised for a blood infection where he lost 15kg, he recently had L3/4 decompression surgery for congenital canal stenosis and disc bulg/prolapse in Jan 2020. Chris played High level Rugby and wants to get back. For what hes been through the last few years, he can and will return. Well done mate! Keep pushing yourself and youll get there.

09.01.2022 Had the man, the myth, the legend into the studio today. Dan from @streetx does MMA, running, so lots of metabolic waste accumulating in his body and some pain. So showed the big fella some lymphatic work and some scapula stability drills to help his boxing.

09.01.2022 Kneeling power push with Med ball. Strength into power for AMAZING power production! Tip: Find the perfect weight for optimal force/velocity curve. Laymens terms, go too heavy & you lose that optimal range for power production

07.01.2022 One of my favourite times is having fun sessions with clients. Although I would classify Jesse a mate. Cant believe this was 4 years ago, just before Jesse went to the 2016 Olympics in Rio to coach the bird man who made the final of K1!

06.01.2022 BEFORE + AFTER Nasal breathing to increase performance. Nasal breathing helps release nitric oxide, which is necessary to increase CO2 in the blood, which in turn releases oxygen. BOOM! And its fu*king hard mentally, because you feel oxygen deprived, like youre drowning. Thats practice! *TIP* Try nose breathing on a stationary bike going nice a slowing for 5 mins. @ Total Movement

06.01.2022 Who complains of a SORE OR STIFF UPPER BACK? Almost everyone. Try this ELDOA technique. It targets the T8/9 vertebrae and helps relieve tension & helps decompress the spinal segment and stretch the facia. *Dont let Ambers face fool you, this crazy sh*t is hard!* I learnt The ELDOA METHOD from @guyvoyerdo awesome stuff! The actual name for this technique is Longitudinal Osteo-Articular Decoaptation of the Joints. Give it a go and tell me how you went.

06.01.2022 I have seen some seriously amazing things happen with breathe work to help reduce stress. Don’t underestimate the POWER of it. If you follow Wim Hof, James Nester or Patrick McKeon you will know what I mean

06.01.2022 After COVID iso, Ive had a high number of people coming to me saying their hips or lower back is sore or tight. There are many reasons, but the top 3 are: 1. Sitting too much (this shuts off not only the glutes but the hip flexors begin to get sticky & feel tight BUT they are in fact weak. 2. Less movement (dont have to train, just move your body in different ways) 3. Poor food choices (we all are culprits, but very poor food choices will increase inflammation and not prom...ote healing. Try this... 10-20 x slap the top of your thighs (groin area), then slap your glutes, then stand on one leg, lift your other leg to 90 degrees and try gently to push that leg down to the ground for 5 seconds (5 reps). Tell me if your hips feel freer. If it works great, if it doesnt then Ive learnt more about your body. Good luck

06.01.2022 Building from the ground up. Infant development (the inchworm). This is an AWESOME ABDOMINAL workout! This is one of the many exercises that specifically activate innate programs within the central nervous system. An infant isn't just exercising, they are in a perpetual state of learning how to use & understand their own body. We as adults lose this as we age, sit down at work more, move less, and not incorporate fun into our lives. *Try it! Its tougher than it looks*

05.01.2022 Idris is another elite boxer from Seconds Out! 6ft 3 and only 17 years old. Had great power but is stuck and can’t transfer that power enough as he has minimal stability in anterior sling lines and especially no stability in his Right shoulder (his power punch arm) *This kid will be a weapon in 12 months*

04.01.2022 CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) The spine wants movement and it craves SPACE! Sitting or loading your body for long periods in inappropriate positions can shorten and squash the discs. This can result in degeneration of the spine and disc, disc bulges, herniations, sciatica etc. Try this exercise, grip the ball, charge up the Tx and diaphragm and get that Lower spine opening up into lateral and flexion. Tip: Dont hyperextend (backwards) stay neutral spine at the top of movement.

03.01.2022 To many people out there copy cool shit on social media. Stop it! Earn the right to do the crazy cool stuff! Find out why you can’t squat or lunge property first, or better yet why you’re in PAIN!

03.01.2022 To all the Mothers, Fathers, brothers, sisters, nurses, doctors and coaches out there looking after one or many people. TAKE CARE of yourself as well. Trauma comes to all of us, and its consequences can be terrible. Thats the truth and the bad news. The good news is that all of us can use tools of self-awareness and self care to heal our trauma and, indeed, to become healthier and more whole than weve ever been if we accept the pain the trauma inflicts, it can open our minds and bodies to heal and change. If we relax with the chaos it brings, a new, more flexible, and more stable order can emerge. Our broken hearts can open with tender consideration and new love for others, as well as ourselves. -Dr. Gordon Thank you for being a legend @stopchasingpain & @drjamesgordon Ive learnt so much off you.

01.01.2022 Would you believe its been 1 year since Taylored Movement began! A big thanks to the people that helped get me started. 2020 has been a tough, emotional, transitional year so far, but its all about learning & growing. Thank you to ALL my clients for sticking with me and being just awesome! Love you all.
