Tennis Performance Biomechanics webinar in collaboration with Biomechanics Education
Tennis is a complex sport with multiple facets…
From serving to ground shots, running the width of the court & back, then executing the perfect drop shot, volley or smash. Tennis has it all! 🎾
So, what can you do to better understand how to improve these various aspects? 🤔
The answer lies in knowing the fundamentals of the anatomy & movement in order to be able to then build safe & successful programmes. 💪🏻
➡️In the first hour of this webinar, Pete () addresses this type of question by going back to basics to give you some intriguing insights into tennis anatomy. 🎾
➡️In the second hour: Rachel ( ) shares some of those ideas into how to better understand the biomechanics of your tennis player’s stroke & therefore how to improve the drive through power! 💥
👉These spine, shoulder and nerve assessments, programming & iMoveFreely interventions are literally game changers for any player pro or amateur! 💪🏻
➡️Australian former professional tennis player, Pat Cash had a shoulder problem which didn't settle down with PT or surgery. We did not diagnose the shoulder problem, but he couldn't serve as his shoulder wouldn't fully elevate. We checked his spine & shoulder biomechanics and within 6 weeks his shoulder pain settled as his key biomechanical pillars improved their function.
The problem was that his shoulder was being overloaded by the inefficiency of his key biomechanical pillars. OK So what ❓Well we sorted the pillars out and the shoulder was able to function more normally.

We’re uncovering the functional biomechanics of golf ⛳️ at our webinar tomorrow at 1400 GMT. If you ever think to yourself, what are the key joint and myofascial components that go to make up the golf swing, you might want to come along. We’ll be sharing the limelight with the magnificent who will add their considerable expertise in assessing and programming for golf. Momentum, ground force, club speed and drive distance are all in the menu. Link in bio. See you there!
What’s in a shoulder? Well , should the question actually be, what’s outside the shoulder that you need to account for to ensure that the shoulder stays healthy? If you are curious about this and how it relates to swimming 🏊♀️ then click the link in the bio for details of our webinar with on Monday 13 December at 2pm GMT. It’s all about how to understand the biomechanics of swimming and avoid issues developing.

Ever wondered what the functional anatomy of swimming is? Many of our clients have never been educated as to the key elements of swimming biomechanics. And we as practitioners might not have spent much time thinking about the myofascial and skeletal involvement. If that’s you, we have just the thing in our co-presented webinar with on Monday 13 Dec at 2pm GMT. Click on the link in bio for more!
Intriguing to see how the superficial back line loads up in mace rotations yesterday in our co-presented webinar with partners on cycling 🚴♀️ If you want to catch that session, it has been recorded (link in bio). Next month it is swimming 🏊♀️ where we partner up again to show you how you can see 👁 feel ✋🏻 map 🌍 move🏃🏻♂️ memorise 🧠 the functional anatomy of swimming. Click through if you want to find out more!
IT’S NOT TOO LATE! Although this webinar is almost over - it is recorded. Click the link in the bio if you want to learn more about cycling biomechanics - the functional anatomy, testing and programming.
So what relevance does the fascia stretching around the heel and into the foot have to cycling?
Knowing how the kinetic chain responds to cycling 🚴♀️ is important. In the forward flexed position, the extreme nature of the position demands a lot from the hip, spine and of course the legs. We are going to look at how the myofascia distributes forces during cycling in our Monday 8th Nov, 2pm GMT webinar using our BodyMapping technique. So if you want to spend a couple of hours learning about that and the implications for training and avoiding injury, click the link in the bio!
The superficial back line is a collection of structures that come under great pressure during cycling 🚴♀️ Do you have a feel for what that might mean for your or your cycling clients? If yes, then great and if no, maybe you might want to see it mapped out on a cyclist, head to toe. Understand the geography, visualise cycling biomechanics. Create more incisive programmes. Link in bio to register.
Cycling 🚴♀️ biomechanics is about so much more than powerful quads 🦵🏻 🦵🏻 ! We have the next in our webinar series on Monday 8 with our partners in crime biomechanics_education . If you cycle or have clients that do, you might want to join in. Link in bio.

Running checklist: Thoracic extension, lateral flexion and rotation opened up to allow running ROM ✅ Key joints assessed for congruity and centration ✅ Superficial Front Line released across the hips and strengthened across the spine to maintain hip/spine positioning while running ✅ Deep Front Line strengthened to bind feet to hips to torso ✅ Lateral Lines strengthened to enhance frontal plane hip and ankle stability in mid stance whilst facilitating a strong base for lateral flexion loading in the spine ✅ All lines balanced to ensure optimal anteroposterior weight distribution ✅ And that really is just the beginning….
Coaching your clients to run better hinges on your confidence around the anatomy and function of MSK structures. You never stop learning more about where they are and how they behave in response to training and hands on interventions. is different.

When you look down, is this what you (as a practitioner) visualise underneath? Is it that important you might ask? Well... yes. In a word. Here’s an example why - you are observing a client carrying out a single leg movement with a top down rotation driven by the arms. And you observe that they are struggling to control that rotation by the time it reaches the sub talar joint and eventually the MTP joints. So you suggest that they take their shoes off to improve the communication of their feet with the floor - the splaying of the met heads for stability and even force distribution. When they ask why you asked them to take their shoes off, you are the one who knows the answer. And you are the one who helps profess them more effectively. That’s why they keep coming back to you.

WEBINAR ALERT! What’s a foot? Yes, you heard right. What is a foot? Before we set about programming for clients and patients, it is a pretty important question to answer. Is it just the bit on the end of your leg? Is it the answer to all your worldly woes? How does it even work? How do you know if it is functioning well or if it is limited by certain factors? Our next webinar with is on Friday, June 18th, 2-4pm, GMT and is designed to simplify the biomechanics of the foot (and ankle) so that you can have a more informed view, better assess and programme around it. Link in bio - come and join us!
We’re back! The terrible twins Rachel from and Pete from are joining forces for their third webinar on foot and ankle biomechanics and programming. Date will be June 18, 1400-1600. More details soon. PM us if you are interested.

The deltoid muscle. Such elegant lines and versatility. Don’t leave home without one...but what are it’s actions? Answers on a postcard 🤔
Once you have functional anatomy embedded in your mind’s eye, how do you use it? Do you analyses every movement your client makes? Do you visualise the myofascial lines and convert that into solid programming? Do you analyse the impact of injury niggles on movement capability and adapt accordingly? We’ll never know it all and goodness knows it’s a complex business - but we can aspire to do better, learn more and importantly use it.

Continuing our spine series... when you begin to look at how the myofascia lengthens and loads in all three planes, you realise that the spine is more than capable of flexing and rotating. The pivotal factor is shared force distribution through upper and lower body tissues to reduce the risk of injury and increase the capacity for strong, smooth movement ex*****on. The body is a globally orientated organism - think kinetic chain and myofascial lines coordinated by the brain to achieve economical movement. Grace and power combined. When it comes down to it, anatomy is not just anatomy, it is the very basis of every client you work with.
Making the invisible visible!
If you want to understand how to care for the human body, you must first see it, feel it and map it.
BodyMapping on a real person brings your knowledge to life and converts it into practical excellence, whatever your discipline.
Since 1996, The BodyMapper has made functional anatomy into an art form that underpins disciplines such as Physiotherapy, Medicine, Rehabilitation, Sport Science, Massage, Biomechanics and Fitness. Study BodyMapping to ensure you know the body inside out.
