Mike and Joe discuss the joints and functional movements. Mike learned functional movement patterns while working with Pete Egoscue. Mike takes issue with the golf industry using Tour Players as a model of how-to-play golf as Mike states they are dysfunctional athletes, to begin with. They have been playing golf since they were kids and have developed body movement patterns far superior to the average person. Trying to superimpose the abilities and body movement patterns of a Tour Player to an average golfer is almost impossible. Most Tour Players have multiple trainers helping them become more functional. Mike also observed that when he worked with Pete Egoscue at their summer camps, many pro athletes were not as good as they thought after being physically assessed. They looked good but were also dysfunctional, and they only exacerbated the problem with their workouts. Mike tends to look at different forces in the body and where they are going. Is that part of the body designed to take the amount of force and pressure? Overworking that area in the gym to compensate isn’t always the answer. The key is building a solid foundation; you are only as strong as your weakest link. Joe concludes that there are six basic movement changes throughout the body, and we should work on every one of them, from the hands and core to the feet. When we do this, we will create more mobility and stability, which is the base of what Joe likes to see when working with athletes.
