"The Pose method® is a simple and comprehensive biomechanical model which eliminates injuries..."Graham Fletcher, Ph.D. Sports Biomechanics, University College of the Fraser Valley, Canada
Pose Method® [pohz][meth-uhd] - Efficient, injury-free movement taught through poses.
WHAT IS POSE METHOD®?
The Pose Method® is a system for teaching of human movement developed by a 2-time Olympic Coach Dr. Nicholas S. Romanov in 1977 in the former Soviet Union. The name of the method comes from the word "pose" or "body position".
If you analyze the movement of any body through time and space, you will clearly see that the body passes through an infinite number of positions. Most of the positions (or poses) are transitional movements and are the result, not the cause, of proper positioning.
There are 5 dissertations based on the Pose Method® written in Russia, Great Britain and USA. [Click here to read more >]
The ability of certain poses to integrate the whole chain of preceding and subsequent movements into one whole, wasting no energy on inconsequential movement laid the foundation of the Pose Method®.
WHAT CAN IT DO?
The Pose Method® can be applied to ANY human movement. In sports, application of the Pose Method® can dramatically improve training and racing performance, help prevent injuries and give a competitive edge. [Click here to read what Elite Athletes and Coaches said >]
