Foundation Training (FT) is a grassroots organization founded by Dr. Eric Goodman. It is a series of postures which bring tension into the muscles and out of the joints. The practice begins with learning a breathing technique called decompression breathing. Gradually simple movements are layered in, becoming progressively more complex and challenging. FT retrains posture and movement patterns, creating robust mobility with reduced risk for injury and enhanced ability for performance.

This varies, ranging between once every 6 weeks to once every 6 months. It will depend on how you integrate these movements on your own time, if you are rehabilitating or recovering from injury and other influences in your life.

Talk to your physio and ask what they think. These classes work well in tandem with physio because they help get your nervous system ready for those sessions and the work ahead of you. I am an advocate for doing your physio exercises and can provide motivation to support you doing them.
