The connection between body and mind is becoming far more evident in studies. If we understand how they interact, it can provide exercise practitioners with a broader set of options to help more people, move more freely and with less pain. Skills and techniques that improve physical health with mental practices can hold real power. […] The post Think the Body / Move the Mind appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

The Importance of Frontal Plane Training Frontal plane training is critically underrated! It plays a vital role in enhancing pelvic biomechanics, improving stability, and reducing the risk of groin strains and hernias. Despite its importance, many trainers overlook its benefits. Optimal Strength Ratios George Davies, a noted expert in joint ratios, suggests that our strength […] The post Hip Adduction/Abduction (Plus Internal/External Rotation) – A Guide for Personal Trainers appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

Introduction     A biomechanical assessment evaluates how your body moves, both internally and externally. This comprehensive approach helps identify any dysfunctions or imbalances that could be affecting your performance or causing pain. There are two main types of biomechanical assessments: Biomechanical Analysis Using Equipment Equipment-Free Biomechanical Assessment   Biomechanical Analysis Using Equipment     […] The post Biomechanical assessment: everything you need to know appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

Introduction If you search for “biomechanics,” you’ll mostly find information related to sports and performance. However, understanding biomechanics—both extrinsically and intrinsically—can significantly enhance the overall health and wellbeing of clients for movement/exercise coaches and trainers. What is Health and Wellbeing? According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and […] The post How Understanding Intrinsic Biomechanics Improves Overall Health and Wellbeing appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

Understanding the Difference Between Extrinsic and Intrinsic Biomechanics Biomechanics, the science of movement, is a broad and intricate field. Today, we’ll explore two critical areas: extrinsic biomechanics and intrinsic biomechanics. We’ll clarify how they differ, how they influence each other, and why understanding both is essential.   What is extrinsic biomechanics?   Extrinsic biomechanics focuses […] The post What is the difference between extrinsic biomechanics & intrinsic biomechanics? appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

  Introduction: In the dynamic realm of functional movement, our bodies ingeniously adapt to compensate for inherent biomechanical imperfections. Rather than passively accommodating these adaptations, a Biomechanics Coach aims to address the root causes, thereby reducing injury risks and optimising performance.    Philosophy: At the heart of our philosophy lies a commitment to challenging conventional […] The post What is a Biomechanics Coach? appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

Introduction: Biomechanics, essentially the application of mechanics to biology, plays a pivotal role in understanding how the body responds to forces and displacements. It encompasses both extrinsic and intrinsic biomechanics, each serving distinct purposes in the realm of human movement and performance.   Extrinsic Biomechanics: Extrinsic biomechanics focuses on analysing movements and tasks to determine […] The post What is biomechanics? appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

Introduction Neuromuscular exercise may sound complex, but it’s simpler than you think. This blog will demystify the biomechanics behind neuromuscular exercise and show you how it can enhance your training.   What is Neuromuscular Exercise? Neuromuscular exercise involves activities that train both nerves (neuro) and muscles (muscular) to react and communicate efficiently. It focuses on […] The post Understanding Neuromuscular Exercise: A Comprehensive Guide appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more

The Deadlift: A Comprehensive Guide The deadlift is a fundamental strength exercise with significant real-life applications in bending and lifting. Often considered the original strength move, its simplicity and effectiveness have made it a staple in strength training.  Let’s delve into its variations, benefits, and how coaches can select the best options for their clients.  […] The post The Deadlift: A Comprehensive Guide appeared first on Biomechanics Education ..read more
