Mastering the Frontal Plane: A Week 5 Guide to Stance Mechanics

Introduction Week 5 of the Applied Fundamentals course at Fluid Health and Fitness marked the transition into frontal plane biomechanics, examining side-to-side control and balance during stance. This week focused on the cervical and cranial regions, the thoracic...

Mastering the Sagittal Plane: A Week 3 Guide to Swing Mechanics

Introduction Week 3 of the Applied Fundamentals course at Fluid Health and Fitness shifted focus from static stance mechanics to dynamic swing-phase mechanics. The sagittal plane—encompassing flexion and extension—continues to govern efficient movement, but now within...

Mastering the Sagittal Plane: A Week 2 Guide to Stance Mechanics

Introduction In Week 2 of Fluid’s Applied Fundamentals series, we took a deep dive into the sagittal plane—the forward and backward plane of motion that governs much of human posture and locomotion. Mastery of this plane is foundational for efficient movement and...

Mastering the Sagittal Plane: A Week 1 Guide to Head-to-Hip Mechanics

Introduction Week 1 of the Applied Fundamentals course at Fluid Health and Fitness initiated our comprehensive exploration of sagittal plane stance mechanics. The sagittal plane—responsible for flexion and extension, or front-to-back movement—plays a critical role in...
