Assessment before programming. Always.
Your body runs one of six structural patterns. Each has predictable limitations, dominant muscles, and intervention priorities. We measure first. Then we program with precision.
95% of coaches program blind.
- Exercises reinforce dominant muscles
- Recessive muscles don't get effective stimulus
- ROM limitations invisible to the coach
- Plateau after 6-8 months, no diagnosis
- Generic programming, generic results
- Structural pattern identified precisely
- Recessive muscles targeted with full ROM
- Pattern-specific resets before every session
- Load progression accelerated when ROM unlocks
- Every variable justified by data
The Compression Spectrum
Your body organizes under gravity along a spectrum of compression and asymmetry. Where you sit on this gradient determines your intervention strategy — from minimal correction to full structural rebalancing.
Balanced
Minimal compression. Symmetrical load distribution. Standard programming applies. Rare in trained individuals with 3+ years under load.
Single-Side Dominant
Most common presentation. One side carries more load, the other compensates. Measurable asymmetries in hip and shoulder ROM. Predictable muscle inhibition pattern.
Dominant + Compensated
Same asymmetry as Stage II with layered compensations. More restrictions across multiple joints. Interventions require higher specificity.
Opposite-Side Dominant
Mirror of Stage II. The less common lateralization. Different dominant side, same structural logic. Requires mirrored intervention.
Opposite + Compensated
Mirror of Stage III. Opposite lateralization with stacked compensations. Highest specificity needed in corrective sequencing.
Bilateral Compression
Both sides locked in extension. Elevated rib cage, bilateral restriction, limited ability to access flexion strategies. Most conservative initial progression required.
