FOUNDATION TRAINING REVIEWS
Life in the 21st Century has left many of us, with a body that is painfully imbalanced. Modern conveniences such as cars, seats, computers, cell-phones and shoes have all contributed to a large number of chronic imbalances in our posture which have affected our overall health and quality of life. Our current health system inefficiently addresses this issue, providing patients with continuous visits to the doctor and overconsumption of drugs and pain killers which only treat the symptoms instead of the cause.
Those looking for a more active solution often find themselves in the gym, doing high-impact, high-intensity training and/or lifting heavy weights in a manner that create more degeneration and pain over the long run. The answer lies on tackling the problem at its root: Posture, Alignment and Movement Patterns.
What is Foundation Training?
Foundation Training is an innovative movement improvement program specifically designed to help reduce the damage created by our modern lifestyle. Through a series of postures, poses, and movements, Foundation Training helps activate the body's chains of muscles and teaches us to properly support ourselves creating healthier movement patterns and allowing us to live a healthier life. The program is relatively new, this is why I decided to write this Foundation Training review.
​
Foundation Training exercises allow the human body to properly support itself, activating the muscle chains that where designed to create stability and drive us through life. The more common types of chronic pain such as back pain, hip pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints and other illness are usually a product of repetitive stress and improper movements over time. These movement patterns create a wear and tear that has a continuous and expected break down pattern that most people go through. Doctors today treat the pain and hide the symptoms instead of listening to what the pain is telling us.
Foundation Training address the issue at its root, facilitating an effective and efficient approach to treating these conditions and placing the power back in each individuals hands by giving them the tools to get themselves out of chronic pain and become stronger than they ever imagined.

Athletes from most professional sports have used Foundation Training to reach new levels of endurance, stamina and strength and more continue to do as the word spreads out.
Learn How to Manipulate Gravity to Your Benefit
Foundation Training's approach is based on utilizing the force of gravity to our advantage. The principles and exercises that we share allow people to manipulate gravity to benefit from it while standing, sitting, and lying or in any position a person might be in and during any activity they may choose to be involved with, be that a sport, working on the computer, taking a shower or washing the dishes. Dr. Goodman's book "True to Form" explains how to accomplish this, and our Foundation Training Online Streaming Website has countless videos where you can learn by practicing.
These principles and exercises teach the body to use gravity for its benefit and activate as many muscle chains as possible to support the body instead of letting all the pressure fall on the joints. One of the ideas behind Foundation Training is that the core of the body is not simply the abdominal muscles but instead, it includes every muscle that connects to the pelvis, either from above or below, including the hamstrings, glutes, adductors, iliacus and psoas, among others. One of Foundation Training’s simplest and most effective exercise is the Standing Decompression.
Heal Back Pain Naturally and Improve Your Performance
The objective of this exercise is to naturally decompress the spine by activating the muscles that stabilize and traction the pelvis down from below while counter tensioning by creating upward spinal traction using deep muscular breathing. This tug-of-war among muscle chains protects the spine, braces the abdomen and increases the space for our visceral organs. It also elevates and expands the ribcage creating space for deeper and fuller breaths leading to improved oxygenation and all the benefits that come with it.
Another of Foundation Training most effective and popular exercises is the Founder which integrates all the muscles of the Posterior Chain, placing them at an effective length so that they can assist each other during a gross chain contraction. Most people who practice these exercises regularly notice changes in their body within a week or two of starting the program. Within three weeks, most people begin to feel profound differences in their level of chronic pain, posture and ability to move around in their daily life.
The program is constantly evolving and improving, and the depth of the exercises continues to deepen as Foundation Training continues to inspire people around the world to get out of pain and regain control of their body and health.
Foundation Training can be used for rehabilitation of movement patterns and to recover from injuries and illnesses. Many people have used this health practice to relieve pain, improve their health, increase their level of fitness, flexibility and strength, return their bodies to balance and improve their quality of life.
The philosophy behind Foundation Training is rooted into the idea of self-care, it is a form of personal training that focuses on autonomy and helps people who want to improve their condition, reduce their medications, get off pain killers and improve their well-being.
This health practice may not be part of the traditional health care system but it is an efficient approach to home health care that anyone can utilize anywhere at any time. For many people it has proven to be better than surgery, better than physical therapy and better than yoga. Foundation Training is not a cure-all approach but it can help many people in many ways.
