What does it entail, and who is it for?

Do you have good intentions to exercise but consistently experience setbacks before any real progress is made? Does it seem like your good intentions are only making the situation worse? Are you hesitant to want to join a class, or go to the gym for this reason? Are you training for an event and consistently suffer setbacks due to injury?

Deep down you know movement is medicine, but you just can’t seem to find the right prescription or dose?

Whether you resonate with the questions above, or just want to join a fun class that will challenge your abilities, the Movement Foundations Program is for you! Because it is made for everybody. As the name implies, the program provides the foundational teachings that are required for functional movement. Because moving WELL is medicine! A poor foundation leads to dysfunctional movement, which means further efforts to build strength or fitness only contributes to progressing that dysfunction. 

The program teaches you how to find optimal core stability and integrate it into progressively challenging postures and movement patterns. As you re-pattern your movement while integrating your new found core stability, the appropriate load is added to build strength in order to cement your new foundation. With a strong and robust foundation you will be more resilient in all other physical activities - gym/running/yoga etc. For some this means finally moving without pain, improved quality of life, increasing life span. For others, it could mean reducing frequency and risk of injury and improving performance. 

Most Foundations graduates go on to the beginner and advanced kettlebell programs. 100% of the time, people exceed what they think their body is capable of doing, setting a new standard for their health, fitness and longevity.

The Movement Foundations Program is taught by Dr. Jaritt Ptolemy DC. With over 15 years of clinical practice integrating functional movement, he also has over 17 years of experience working as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

• suffer persistent pain 

• experience pain with exercise and movement

• are unsure of what to do in a gym setting

• want supervision of a highly trained eye
