25.01.2022 Mark leading the Wednesday Night Team through Tripod Locomotion with Squat (a.k.a. The NFL Quarterback ). PM for details about our upcoming movement seminar in July. Early bird price finishes at the end of June.

25.01.2022 This is a shot from our Filming Day today with @markonmovement. Plenty of exciting things to come in the 'Movement to Performance' space from us. Classes, 10-Week Programs, Seminars, Video Content... and much more.... Stopped by @lastpiececafe for a quick bite as well.

25.01.2022 "I always feel 100x better after doing the exercises".. "I feel taller and lighter every time I leave class"... "It just feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my back"...... These are some of the messages we are receiving every week from our clients with the DNS work. Pictured here are the men from our 5.30pm Wednesday Class with Mark on Movement about to take them through a ipsilateral (same side) and contralateral (opposite sides) movement series from Quadruped.

25.01.2022 The Weekly Training Routine of our #1 AFL Footballer... What Tom Mitchell does to improve his body and maximise his performance. #NoQuickFixes

25.01.2022 [WEDNESDAY NIGHT DNS MOVEMENT CLASSES] These classes are designed to: 1. Teach and train true core stability, 2. Improve posture and movement,... 3. Reduce likelihood for injury, and 4. Build a fully-functioning body without limitations. Class times are: - 4pm: All Girls - 5.30pm: All Guys - 7pm: Mixed Message me now for more details about how to get started.

25.01.2022 The coordinated firing patterns of muscle are more important than the absolute strength of muscles - Prof. Janda In this video, watch the timing and coordination of the limbs (reciprocal motion) as well as @markonmovement’s ability to maintain good sagittal stabilisation (IAP) throughout the entire movement.

24.01.2022 Foot, Ankle, Knee and Hip Health Ft. @tommitchell6 and @markonmovement Ipsilateral Balance using a partner increases stability and accuracy with hip over the knee and ankle. Without the additional support, commonly you will see a frontal plane migration/shift of the pelvis, which is a non-preferred movement pattern and stabilising strategy. @ Prahran, Victoria, Australia

24.01.2022 I’m looking forward to the new opportunities that come with a new year, and getting to share it with this one. P.S. I’m officially back on deck as of today, so PM me if you need to book a DNS or Osteo session with me, or want to join in on our hybrid group training sessions @insideoutgrouptraining in the mornings.

24.01.2022 Have you heard these statements before... Everything’s connected The body is a unit ... [This] is compensating for [this] But what does this actually mean? Increased stiffness of one muscle group or joint can lead to compensatory movement at an adjacent muscle group or joint that is less stiff. So if you have tight hamstrings, they become resistant to movement, and as a result compensatory movement occurs at the low back. If you aren’t getting optimal length of the hamstrings, the low back must now be subjected to further movement, further stress at the joint and surrounding tissues. If you aren't getting any long-term relief from your pain/injury, it might be worth more investigation.

24.01.2022 There’s so many different ways to challenge our basic core stability based on your level. In this Dynamic Bear to Squat Movement, can you find your hips as you send them back away from your hands when loading the jump? Can you transition forwards whilst limiting any shape change to the spine before uprighting the trunk in squat? Can you keep your landing light, and your movement smooth? We’ll be workshopping the Bear to Squat in our upcoming movement seminar July 14-15. Early bird price ends at the end of the month.

21.01.2022 One thing I really like about the DNS exercises is that you can do it anywhere and everywhere. No equipment required.

20.01.2022 786 possessions in Season 2018, more than any other player in AFL History. What does Tom Mitchell do to get the edge over his competition? PM me for more details about 1-1 sessions and/or our group DNS Movement Classes with myself, @tommitchell6, @danhowe01, @markonmovement and the rest of the team.

19.01.2022 Once you’ve mastered the basics you can begin to sequence movements, like this one... Supine to side-lying high oblique sit to tripod; and reverse. This can’t happen any other way. You can’t skip the important steps that form the basis of our human development. We need to honour our motor program, and then we can express it with more complex patterns such as walking, movement/animal flow, running, throwing, punching, and kicking etc. This flow seems simple, however the challe...nge is to avoid bulging in the ribs or side-bending in the waist as you transition through the steps, using weight shifts as opposed to muscles, and the ability to eccentrically load through the length of the thigh (awesome for those with ITB tightness) with good quality. If you’re ready to learn the basics, which are encoded in our brain and nervous system, PM me now to find out about the upcoming seminar I’m running with Mark McGrath.

19.01.2022 Are you feeling frustrated? helpless? lacking all confidence in your body? Are you sick of suffering with pain and injuries? It might be time to try something new... I know that’s what I did. And I’m so happy I did because 8 years later, I’ve had no recurrence of my painful symptoms, and I haven’t had a soft tissue injury since. If you’re interested in hearing about the strategy that cured my 5-year suffering with chronic groin pain, message me now.

19.01.2022 Training all planes of motion is essential to achieve optimal, full function... but it’s got to start with good, basic core (sagittal) stabilisation

18.01.2022 Everyone is always asking me, What do I do? What’s DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation)?... Who would benefit from this training? In short.. It’s a rehab approach that integrates breathing training, core stability, joint alignment and movement efficiency. These are the key ingredients for a full functioning body. Therefore, this training is for anyone that is frustrated with his or her injuries and can’t seem to find a solution to solve it forever. Essentially, it’s for anyone that wants to move better, feel better and perform better. Message me now to find out more about our Wednesday Night Movement Classes in Prahran (Melbourne).

18.01.2022 Do you get to the point where you can no longer manage your body by yourself? You’re stretching, foam rolling, going to the beach But nothing seems to be fixing the problem... If you’re interested in finding a solution, message me now to organise an appointment, or to find out more about our Wednesday Night Group Classes.

18.01.2022 Can you lift your legs up into this Supine 3-6 Month Developmental position with a stable trunk? And without over-recruitment of the rectus abdominis (your 6-pack) and oblique muscles? #TrueCoreStability

18.01.2022 Quality Movement Flow requires adequate central/core stabilisation. This is what @markonmovement and I will be teaching in our upcoming seminar July 14-15 in Melbourne. Put it in your calendar now and stay tuned, there will be more details to come.

17.01.2022 ATTENTION THERAPISTS Are you looking for a more effective approach to getting long-lasting results for your clients? In our upcoming weekend workshop in July, you’ll learn a complete and comprehensive movement-based approach to treatment, rehabilitation and injury prevention....

16.01.2022 There’s something special about group training... everyone elevates!

16.01.2022 Congratulations @tommitchell6 on an outstanding year! The commitment you show to your preparation every day is the best I’ve seen... a very deserving winner of the Brownlow Medallast night! Feeling privileged to be a part of this journey with yourself and Mark on Movement.

16.01.2022 Who are the people that choose to work with us? People that want one or more of the following 3 things: 1. Be out of pain 2. Not be limited by their body so that they can do all their favorite activities, hobbies and/or sports... 3. Want to be at their best If this is what you want, message me now for more details about osteopathy treatment or our DNS Movement classes. In this video, @markonmovement demonstrates an exercise we've been working on with our Wednesday Night Classes. It's an excellent warm up exercise for any runner.

16.01.2022 10-Week AFL Movement Program starts mid-October. The best possible way to prepare your body ahead of the 2018 season. Also running Wednesday Night DNS Classes every week. PM me for details

16.01.2022 Do you change up your training? Or do you just focus on your sport / event? Optimal performance can be achieved via contrast training, which is incorporating various training modalities into an athlete’s standard routine. In our DNS Athletic Programs, the footballers were exposed to different training surfaces (sand, grass, hills) for their speed, power and agility work, and to different training modalities such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability... (DNS) training. It's effective because it: 1. Creates a well-rounded athlete 2. Corrects muscle imbalances 3. Is stimulating for the brain 4. Helps prevent injury 5. Improves strength 6. Improves acceleration, speed, and power Stay tuned for more information coming out soon about our upcoming athletic programs. @ Prahran, Victoria, Australia

15.01.2022 Mark is taking @danhowe01 through one of the many lunge derivatives we go through in our DNS Movement Classes each week. Howey is working on the spread between his feet, even big & little toe knuckle pressure, knee over ankle, and no frontal plane shift of the pelvis as he steps through. This is super important for athletes for power development, as well as preserving their joints and remaining injury-free

14.01.2022 Do you suffer with constant pain that just doesn’t seem to resolve? Are you being advised to ‘stretch’ and ‘strengthen’ the area for relief? I was told the same thing when I suffered with chronic groin pain for 5 years.... Then I found someone that looked beyond the location of my symptoms. He who treats the site of pain is often lost Karel Lewit, MD Instead, the focus shifted to what was causing my pain (i.e. the source). And once this was understood, I had strategies to stop causing myself harm. We’ve evolved from the ‘stretch’ and ‘strengthen’ model because of its limitations for achieving long-term, pain-free function. Isolating muscle groups no longer makes sense, and we need to diagnose, assess and treat the human body as a whole, with a key emphasis on movement. If you’re interested in making a commitment to long-term health and performance, send me a message to find out more about our weekly DNS Movement Classes.

14.01.2022 Do you want to get drafted by an AFL club? Do you want to become a better athlete and footballer? Then here’s the best way to do it... Sign up to our 10-Week AFL Movement Program starting mid-October. If you fit the following criteria, message me to find out more. Athletes must: - Want to become a better athlete - Want to improve their football skills - Want to take their game to the next level - Want to build a body that’s injury proof - Want to never miss a game due to injury - Want to improve core and overall strength - Want a footballer-specific program for improved performance - Want to learn how to manage their body - Want to have the best pre-season of their life The program is limited to only 12 spots, so get in quick and message me now.

13.01.2022 Coordination & Timing; the ability to glide at the foot, ankle, knee, hip and shoulder joints; and low back stability, are the cornerstones for optimal human movement. This ‘Tripod Locomotion with Squat (in reverse)’ exercise will give you a good indication of where you’re currently at with your function.

13.01.2022 My personal story of how injury almost destroyed my life For years, I let my body limit me from doing so many things that I gained enjoyment from. I was in pain, and if I wasn’t in pain at the time, I didn’t want to do anything where I’d risk re-injuring myself.... I avoided playing golf with my Dad; tennis matches and hiking with friends; and even kicking the footy with my teammates before training. My injury became my identity and I let it rule me. And when I look back on it now - I wasn’t happy. That was no way to live. What did I do? I got help. I learned about what was causing my symptoms and how to get better. And then I took action to build an injury-proof body that was free of pain now and for the future. I no longer need to stress about it. I haven't had a soft tissue injury in the last 8 years. I use my body to serve me and I can do anything I want with it. I’m committed to helping other people achieve the same with their body. To have a body where it can serve them, not hinder them. If you want help building a body that allows you to do anything you want with it, send me a message now.

13.01.2022 This one is called The Hulk @markonmovement and I will never stop experimenting with our clients.. giving them new challenges each and every week to continue building their movement & stability competency, for relief from symptoms OR to enhance performance. The reason these exercises are challenging is because the foundational principles for ideal movement & stability always remain the same. So, can you maintain sufficient IAP? Trunk over pelvis? Length of spine? Proper breathing pattern? and relaxation? when the demands of the task increase.

12.01.2022 Want to know whether you’d benefit from our Wednesday Night Movement Classes? I get asked this question a lot... Is this movement class for me? 95% of the time I will say yes!... This is because I know what it’s done for me in my life and the capacity for good it can do in the lives of others. This is a big reason why I’m so passionate about spreading the message about these classes. Athletes, developing athletes, physically active people, sedentary desk workers, teenagers, older adults, and chronic pain sufferers will all benefit immensely from joining our Wednesday Night classes in Melbourne. If you’re interested in a free trial, message me now for more details.

12.01.2022 I get asked all the time, What training do you do? How do you stay strong without weights training?... What gives you the confidence that you won’t get injured? Everyday I’ll do exercises that focus on ideal alignment of the joints. This means that the muscles work evenly to stabilize the joint and there’s less load going through the joints. As a result, movement efficiency improves and fewer injuries occur. How would you like to learn how to be strong and build an injury-proof body, without relying on weights training? Mark McGrath and myself run classes every Wednesday Night designed to do exactly that. Class times are: 4pm: All Girls 5.30pm: All Guys 7pm: Mixed If you’re interested, send me a message now to find out more.

12.01.2022 5 countries in 4 weeks, and it’s time to come home! I’m back in the clinic next week so click the link in the bio to book an osteo session with me. See you soon Amigos! >

11.01.2022 Bear To Oblique Squat... Excellent exercise for - learning to dissociate hips, pelvis and low back; ankle, knee and hip alignment; lengthening the low back tissues; as well as being a nice burn for the legs and shoulders Wednesday Night Group Ft. @tommitchell6 @danhowe01 @coach_jessryan @emilymoreton_ @ryanbarford @markonmovement

10.01.2022 Want some more movement and stability in the hips and pelvis? Give this a go. The challenge is to keep the sides (no side-bending in the trunk), and so you can use your hands to help support you in the beginning if necessary.

09.01.2022 Wednesday Evening DNS Movement Classes This class is for anyone that wants to move, feel and perform BETTER for LONGER. You're looking at one of the exercises we did in last week's class - Tripod with trunk rotation. Excellent for training rotation, which is the foundation for quality human movement.

08.01.2022 The journey through life will inevitably have its peaks and troughs (i.e. highs and lows), just as there is day & night, hot & cold, fast & slow, growth & decay... Patience is a consistent challenge, but I also know that it allows me to shift my focus towards the bigger picture. It’s what allows me to work through the troughs in order to experience the peaks.

08.01.2022 What do we do in our classes??! We often end the Wednesday DNS Movement Classes with creative movement complexes, where we’re integrating quality movement, control & stability into dynamic flow.

08.01.2022 Wednesday Night Movement Classes in Prahran, kicking off at 5.30pm and 7pm. This group here continues to improve every week. Take the opportunity now to jump onboard the ride with them.

08.01.2022 ATTENTION ALL AFL, VFL and Elite Development Footballers Do you want to take your game to the next level in 2018? Do you want to be strong, fast, powerful, and ...injury-free? Then this program may be for you. We’ve developed a 10-week AFL Movement Program starting mid-October, designed to train every facet that makes up a great athlete and footballer. This approach has been proven over the last 9 years with Mark McGrath working with players from the Hawthorn FC in an era where the club has experienced significant success! Luke Hodge (played 305 games, won 4 premierships) credits his longevity to Mark in a recent article by the AFL, The mystery man who kept Hodge moving. Here’s your opportunity to work with the man that works with the best! The program will be capped at 12 participants. Message me now for more details

07.01.2022 Breaking down the Half Get Up using developmental movement principles. To initiate the movement from supine, it’s the push from the right foot that loads the left shoulder. And with the coordinated internal rotation and pronation of the left arm to bring you up and onto your left forearm. This allows you to turn through the ribs as opposed to side bending (which is non-preferred). This is what @markonmovement and I do. We break movement down using developmental principles that honour how our motor program developed in the first two years of life, allowing our clients to understand how they’re doing harm and what they can do to fix it so that they can feel strong, move well and protect their joints.

07.01.2022 If breathing is not normalised - no other movement can be. - Karel Lewit

07.01.2022 Is injury holding you back from playing consistent footy? Do you need a program to prepare your body for a full AFL season in 2018? This is a video of Liam... ... A few years back Liam was a slow, average footballer battling in a local league... Little did he know that in less than 18 months time he would become a footballer with such elite SPEED & ACCELERATION that he would not only go on to play VFL but also represent Melbourne Storm in one of the quickest sports there is, Touch Rugby. This is what people had to say about his transformation into an elite athlete: "He came back and his OP (osteitis pubis) was gone and he was lightning quick just insanely quick!" "It’s definitely his speed that’s his strength" Even Liam said himself "Doing a DNS course was the best thing I've ever done for my football and athletic performance" So watch the video if you want to: - get faster - get more agile - train your body to able to train harder, for longer - improve your posture - improve your flexibilty - reduce the chance of soft tissue injuries - reduce chronic aches and pains - prolong your football career For more information about our upcoming 10-week AFL Movement Program starting mid-October, message me now.

06.01.2022 Do you have knee issues and don’t know how to fix it?? Wednesday Night 5.30pm Group are working on creating outward rotation of the R femur whilst in R support in order to centrate the knee in line with 2nd/3rd toe. This is to combat the common insufficiency observed in clients with knee pain where the tonic system (flexion, addiction and internal rotation) is over-active. The challenge here is to maintain outward rotation of the R femur, the knee remains over the ankle and ...there’s no clenching of the toes as the trunk position is lowered towards the floor. If you’re ready to try something to cure your knee pain for good, message me now.

05.01.2022 Luke Hodge attributes Mark McGrath and DNS as the 'secret' to his successful career as a 4-time premiership player. Message me for more details about the upcoming AFL Movement Program Mark and I are launching in October.

05.01.2022 This is the 7pm group on Wednesday night performing a Transverse Plane Rotating Lunge. This exercise trains contralateral stability, which is essential for activities involving walking, running and throwing.

05.01.2022 I feel like I can run like Usain Bolt now "I feel unbelievable.. I just had the best run after treatment!" Really appreciate the work you’ve given me so far, couldn’t have been happier to see the results come so quick!... Mate had 5 under today at golf. Every time you play with my neck before golf I play well. I might have to take you on tour with me... Osteopathic treatment for sporting clubs and athletes is growing in popularity because the benefits of osteopathy are not just limited to injury prevention and rehabilitation, but it also helps improve athletic performance. I know myself and my clients look for every possible way that we can get an edge over our competitors and this is definitely one effective way. Osteopaths can work to restore an individual’s structural balance, improve their joint mobility and increase their core stability, in order to optimise movement and therefore enhance performance. If you’re looking to improve your performance, here’s your opportunity. Message me now for more details.

05.01.2022 In our Movement Classes we educate our clients on some limitations of conventional training, how to pay attention to their own movement preferences (lockdown strategy) & create a change, and also an appreciation for ideal movement quality. Here @markonmovement is showing the group a video of an athlete competing in the long jump back in 1995 and jumping 18.43m, the longest jump ever recorded in all conditions, and how he did it.

04.01.2022 Imagine being pain-free Imagine having the confidence in your body right now to go out and do anything you wanted Imagine how motivated you’d be if you were surrounded by a community of people wanting to be at their best... Imagine you had all the strategies and resources you needed to manage your body on your own and keep it pain- and injury-free forever There was a time when I was in the same position you are. I felt frustrated and helpless. It got to the point where I lost all confidence in my body and its ability to get better. That was till I discovered @markonmovement and the DNS approach. If you think you’ve tried everything, you haven’t tried this. Message me now for more details. : @charleethegirl

04.01.2022 Stay tuned for details of our upcoming 10-Week AFL Movement Performance Program starting in October. The best possible way to prepare yourself ahead of the 2018 season. Repost from @markonmovement, running the Hawthorn FC boys through Shoulder Stand to get them ready for their last game of the season this weekend.

03.01.2022 Are you doing everything you can to be at your best? Are you doing everything possible to be pain-free? Are you doing everything in your power to prevent future injury? If you aren’t doing our DNS Movement class every Wednesday Night than you’re missing out.... Message me now for class details. This is @markonmovement leading our athletes in Low Oblique Sit Rotation. The boys are optimising their axial length and IAP prior to trunk rotation. They will open the pelvis backward as they look up, and close the pelvis forward as they look down. This is not a stretch but the freedom through your hips with walking significantly improves after doing 3 5 reps each side.

03.01.2022 Coaching in a group setting is an art. We use verbal cueing and hands on coaching so that our clients are accurate, and can have a unique movement experience each session @markonmovement and I love watching the improvements they’re making every week as they grow in their understanding of how the body is designed to function.... If you’re interested, message me now to get involved.

03.01.2022 5 countries in 4 weeks, and it’s time to come home! I’m back in the clinic next week so if you want to book an osteo session with me, click the link in the bio. See you soon Amigos! >

03.01.2022 Want to know the secret to achieving peak athletic performance? Here are some highlights from a blog written by Chiropractor, Corey Campbell. "Dynamic neuromuscular (core) stability is necessary for optimal athletic performance and is not achieved purely by adequate strength of abdominals, spinal extensors, gluteals or any other musculature; rather, core stabilization is accomplished through precise coordination of these muscles and intra-abdominal pressure regulation by the ...CNS (central nervous system)." Being able to move past traditional "core" training or just looking at a single joint or set of muscles as the problem is critical. The human body is too complex and impressive to have any one thing be isolated. If you want to learn this system for optimising movement and performance, send me a message now to find out more.

03.01.2022 The Lizard Crawl

02.01.2022 Quality squatting @jessssryan Our classes incorporate partner work because we value the learning that comes with coaching. Join us this Wednesday night to exceed the potential of what you’re capable of achieving on your own with your body

02.01.2022 In this video we’re training our capacity to maintain good sagittal stabilisation (core stability) whilst coordinating the movement of opposite arm and leg. Try it - you’ll notice the challenge to stop your abdominals from over-working, and the trunk/ribs from shifting (especially as you initiate the movement). Details of our upcoming weekend seminar covering this content will be released very soon. Stay tuned!

02.01.2022 This is just one example of how our classes are directly linked to improved athletic performance. The Pulsing Sumo Squat In this video you can see @markonmovement pulsing through Left foot to send him into Right single leg stance.... Notice how Mark keeps the exact shape of the trunk and stepping leg as he had when not in single leg balance. The common challenge here is to keep the ankle, knee and hip in line, and avoiding any changes to the shape of the foot/ankle. There is a direct link between performing this exercise well with improved speed and accuracy with change of direction. This is what we’re bringing to the table in this year’s AFL Pre-Season Program! Send me a message now to find out more.

02.01.2022 What can you expect when you come to see me in the clinic? 1. I’ll take your Personal History 2. I’ll perform a thorough assessment, which involves various movement & stability tests, and palpation to create a hypothesis about the SOURCE of your pain (i.e. what is causing it / what the real problem is). 3. Then treatment MAY incorporate various techniques such as soft tissue, contract-relax, and manipulation.... 4. Lastly, I’ll prescribe you with exercises to show you a way out of your habitual lockdown strategy that’s creating your pain. In other words, update your brain’s software to improve both your structure and function. Message me now or click the link in my bio to book an appointment.
