Mindful Movement Walking Code Lesson 4 Core Technique of Reach and Reach Back

Mindful movement in the Martin Movement System teaches you how to use your mind consciously to control your movements using the core properly. Lesson 4 examines the Core Techniques of Reach and Reach Back. These are used in proper walking technique in a variety of situations. Both Reach and Reach Back use extension of the active hip. Reach is used right before raising the body up when walking up stairs. It is also used to shift the body forward when walking up a slope. Reach back is used to place the foot on a step when walking up stairs.

REACH Core Technique
Hip Action: Extension of the active hip
Upper Torso: Turns toward the active hip
Lower Torso: Turns away from the active hip

REACH BACK Core Technique
Hip Action: Extension of the active hip
Upper Torso: Turns away from the active hip
Lower Torso: Turns away from the active hip

Using these patterns correctly helps you body to flow without any restrictions and move with the most efficiency possible.
