Here's How the Functional Movement Course for Swimmers Will Help You
Retraining your body's Functional Movements effectively addresses the root causes of common swimming injuries including poor posture, stiff upper mid back and poor shoulder and hip joint stabilization.

Moving functionally facilitates the naturally spiraling and bending movements of your spine and concurrently trains core strength, flexibility, rhythm, coordination and balance all at once thereby helping prevent future injuries, accelerating recovery and enhancing performance.
Meet Your Coach
Carl Reader is a renowned Functional Movement Coach and has a background in Exercise Physiology and Pilates who for years and years it was impossible for him to move and play sport without back pain. Carl noticed many traditional strengthening exercises and stretching methods were not necessarily functional or natural movements.

So, Carl studied the body's natural movement patterns and how they address the root causes of pain and injury and was able to personally overcome his own back pain. It is his passion to help others and has created this 6-module, 30 instructional videos program, specifically for swimmers to increase their performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Inside you will learn:
  • How to move intelligently which is the key to eliminate recurring and persistent injuries thereby allowing your body to heal and increase your performance
  • How to enhance your awareness of your bodies natural movement patterns, allowing you to make minor adjustments to dramatically improve your results
  • How to train and strengthen your core correctly, so you're able to support your back, improve posture and swim more efficiently.
  • How to develop the 'serape' effect, so you save energy and use your entire body while swimming
  • Optimal techniques and tips to use for many regular exercises done at home or the gym, specifically for swimmers
  • How to connect your key, core muscles with the rest of your movements to develop powerful hip-driven and shoulder-driven strokes, especially freestyle
  • And so much more including a comment section to ask questions and post your successes.
