1. Strengthens the posterior chain through the posterior oblique sling

2. Reverses the effects of sitting

3. Improves neurological left/right connection through cross crawl pattern

4. Balances both sides of the body

5. Great for single sided sport athletes

1. Crawling requires coordination of your upper and lower body, forcing your shoulders and hips to work together

2. It builds lateral strength and the ability to transfer power from the lower body to the upper torso

3. Crawling is also ideal for developing what is known as “reflexive movement” or "reflexive strength" – the ability to respond effortlessly and quickly to quick physical challenges with strength and stability.

4. Crawling helps to “reset” the central nervous system (great if your hardwired in one particular pattern)5. Crawling Builds tremendous durability in the shoulder girdle, along with trunk and pelvic stability 

1. Improve Posture by building musculature in the upper back

2. Increase Trunk & Pelvic Stability in a 360 degree manner

3. Strengthen Grip, Forearm, & Shoulders

4. Ignites the Central Nervous System (CNS) which allows the body to produce higher outputs of strength and power 

5. Increases work capacity, aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, and mental fortitude

* Loaded carries to be performed with 30-50% of bodyweight in EACH Hand

1. Increase Strength in the lower body

2. Improves mobility in the ankles, knees, hips

3. Develops the ability to hip hinge (load) the hips (crucial for athletes)

4. Fundamental movement pattern critical for mastery

* squats to be performed “goblet style” with a 3 second eccentric and an explosive concentric

1. Strengthens and Heals Tendons 

2. Increases strength and stability in the feet, ankles, knees and hips

3. Improves speed (without having to run!)

4. Improves balance

1. Hanging ("Brachiating") strengthens the upper body shoulders, scapulas, lats and develops grip strength.

2. It increases endurance, flexibility, and eye-hand coordination.

3. It helps to develop kinesthetic awareness, which allows a child to know where their body is in space.

4. Kids establish rhythmic body movement as they move from one bar to the next. Or back and forth on the same bar

5. Gross, and fine motor skills are also enhanced as large and small muscle movement occurs.
