The book identifies aberrant movement patterns that can lead to injury and reduce athletic performance. It offers step‑by‑step self‑assessment protocols and mobility exercises across seven chapters, covering movement rules, core stabilization, torque principles, and innovative techniques to improve form and prevent injury. The manual serves as a comprehensive resource for coaches, athletes, and injury practitioners, providing experiential learning and evidence‑based concepts to relieve pain, prevent injury, and enhance performance.
Becoming a Supple Leopard written by Kelly Starrett, Doctor of Physical Therapy and CrossFit coach highlights aberrant movement patterns that may culminate into injury and deprive optimal athletic performance. The author provides step-by-step instruction with illustration of numerous self-assessment protocols and techniques to improve form and function to avoid injury. The text consists of seven chapters, addressing an array of exercises for various anatomical/body regions. The introductory chapters focus on the rules that govern movement and mobility, the importance of engaging mid-line stabilization/bracing and organization of the spine, and laws of torque to generate force. The latter chapters provide an in depth description of innovative mobility techniques and exercises provided in a stepwise fashion. The author offers novel, cost effective ideas to treat musculoskeletal injuries throughout the entire kinetic chain. This text is a complete training manual resource enabling one to become your own movement, mobility and performance expert. Whether you are a coach, athlete, the weekend warrior, athletic trainer or sports injury practitioner you will find value in the content of this text.
