Quote from the authors |
“When we first got into functional training
and corrective exercise some years ago it was
always difficult to track down resources to help
us. We ended up doing a lot of “leg work”
through websites, books, videos, courses…the
usual trail. This is no bad thing, you start to
widen your knowledge base and as you begin to
get more experienced you start to “cherry pick”
those things that you know will add value to the
way you work.
But for us there was a problem…there were a lot
of people with a lot of theory, but not
necessarily offering us the tools to put this
theory into practice.
There comes a stage where you need what we call
“ammunition”. You want to be shown exercises,
progressions and programmes and you just want to
get on with them…lots of them. Folks in this
profession like to learn by doing, and if this
is given structure then it isn’t
counter-productive. We also wanted to find
something that would work for us, and integrate
into how we worked with our clients. Clients
need information as well, after all it is they
that we fire our ammunition at!
It wasn’t out there, so we wrote one.”

‘This
is exactly what we require for use with elite tennis players,
clear programmes that we as coaches can use as a reference
resource and that can be easily followed when players are on
tour or away from home’
Matt Little: UK Lawn Tennis Association
fitness coach
“This is a tool I can use every working day. It covers so much
ground and then more. It’s easy to get off track with the
functional training approach, but not with a resource like this
backing you up.”
Rachel Birthistle-Cooke: Independent
Personal Trainer
“I have learned so much from applying these ideas, exercises and
programmes, and so have my clients. It’s just great to have
something so clear and comprehensive to help me learn and apply
functional techniques.”
