◍ Pillar.
Answer: hips, torso, shoulders
◍ Pillar Strength.
Answer: blend mobility and stability to the hips, torso, and shoulders-
absorb load and transfer from one limb to another (conduct force)
◍ Primary Functions of the Pillar.
Answer: Mobility, stability, breathing
◍ Pillar Hardware.
Answer: musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles)
◍ Stability Joints.
Answer: shoulder/scapulalumbar spinekneefoot
◍ 5 Structures of the Pillar.
Answer: shoulder/scapulathoracic spinelumbar spinepelviships muscles that
connect them all
◍ Pillar Software.
Answer: nervous system
◍ Mobility Joints.
Answer: thoracic spinehipsankle
◍ Nervous System.
Answer: - coordinate movement through muscle recruitment - manage
movement based on sensory feedback- use innate patterns to begin and
develop movement (ex: survival movement)- habitual movement develops
patterns unique to every person's movement signature
◍ Kinetic Linking.
Answer: force creation (hips) --> force transfer (trunk to extremities) =
optimal performance and injury prevention more force = more velocity hips
--> trunk --> shoulders --> arms
