Groundwork Positions for Movement Restoration

By the end of this course, you will (1) understand and apply the five foundational positions essential to improving movement efficiency and (2) integrate corrective progressions that enhance performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Presented by Dr. Mark Cheng, a leading authority in corrective exercise and movement restoration, this course breaks down the five Groundwork Positions—Periscope, Sphinx, Crawling, Tall-Kneeling, and Half-Kneeling—to help clinicians, trainers, and therapists retrain motor patterns safely and effectively. Through in-depth video demonstrations and practical coaching cues, learners gain actionable tools to assess and guide clients at any level of ability. Designed to complement systems such as FMS and SFMA, this course bridges the gap between assessment and application—helping professionals restore balance, coordination, and performance with evidence-based movement strategies.
