Integrated Core Connections

Integrated Core Connections

Integrated movement patterns require a transmission of forces whether the movement is initiated from the ground up or top down. In either case, the forces are either transferred or mitigated and must pass through the central unit. This principle prompts discussion of how the great toe, foot, ankle, hips, torso and arms are all a woven matrix that is actually part of the core. Learn how limitations in these regions can create deficits in the central unit function, develop strategies to enhance core function by changing body angles, and understand the fascial relationships that functionally feed the core.

Learning Objectives


  • Describe the tri-plane actions of the abdominal complex.
  • Develop strategies for—and weigh considerations of—regressing movements before progressing clients to more advanced movements.
  • Discuss the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the abdominal complex.
  • Perform integrated functional abdominal training using various exercise tools.
  • Explain how the extremities affect abdominal function.
  • Describe how abdominal function is affected by movement limitations in other regions of the body.
