Dysfunction of the movement system is a key factor in most musculoskeletal injuries (and other conditions), including degenerative joint disease, impingement syndromes, and chronic myofascial or joint pain.
These movement impairments are the result of repetitive and cumulative micro-traumas that occur not only during work and daily activities, but also during exercise or leisure activities for health purposes.

"Corrective Exercise Solutions for Hip and Shoulder Dysfunction" discusses how fitness professionals/clinicians can apply three human movement principles—breathing, centration, and integration—to improve common movement dysfunctions in the hip and shoulder joints.
In addition, it provides detailed diagnosis, correction strategies, and easy-to-understand illustrations of the functional exercise progression.

This book presents the following:

- Three reasons why customers create incorrect movement patterns.
This allows health professionals and clinicians to understand and explain the underlying mechanisms of hip and shoulder joint dysfunction in their patients.


- Practical and clinically applicable concepts and strategies, including corrective exercises and an integrated movement approach for the hip and shoulder joints.
Health professionals and clinicians will have strategies and tools to manage hip and shoulder dysfunction in their clients.

- An easy-to-apply, principle-based solution for common movement dysfunctions in the hip and shoulder joints.
This will enable health professionals/clinicians to expand their expertise as movement experts and become part of addressing the modern health crisis.
