The 'Proofing' series
Rather than the repetitive execution of fixed routines for the purpose of mobilization, prehabilitation, or even mobility development (although they do have their place), 'proofing' is essentially a "checking" of the articulations to ask oneself the fundamental question: "how am I moving today"? In this process, physiological exploration goes hand-in-hand with self-awareness toward developing mindfulness of the body in movement.

'Proofing' of the Ankles & Knees
THE WHAT:
Working here with the concept of 'mapping' the feet against the ground with initiation points coming from either the knees, or the feet themselves. Both perspectives, and graduations between them, should be explored. The "side-effect" of this exploration includes a low-intensity, prehab...
