Every movement has a certain order which is called the movement chain. To prevent injuries and for optimal movement function and longevity, and also to preserve your joint health, it is essential to respect this order and chain step by step, any time and all the time. Here is a visual representation, demonstrated on the mechanism of a glass jar, to explain this in a very tangible and logical way. Apply this analogy to all styles of exercise and movement techniques, but particularly when it comes to transitions between “ups” and “downs”, and to anything that folds and unfolds such as quick ball catches in team sports or dance routines involving floor work, crows, shoulder stands, handstands etc.
