LSFM Method

The Warm-Up

Purpose of this step is to prime your body’s tissues to maximize their behaviors. When your tissues are prepared, you get more effective performance outcomes, whatever the performance is.

Fluid Dynamics

The purpose of this is to accelerate movement of the fluid, including water, blood, and lymph, through the body and to warm the tissues up. This is not only prepping the body to workout, but it also is starting the RECOVERY process from the workout. It can include things like foam rolling, self lymphatic massage, cardio, etc. It takes less than five minutes and targets 2 to 3 muscle groups.

Joint Strength

Activation Exercises, Forced Inhalation & Exhalation, Locomotion, Diaphragm Reset

The goal of this step is to turn on the type 1 motor units that stabilize our joints. We focus on the Core, Ankles, Hips, and Shoulders. The activation exercises that are chosen depend on the client, and the results of their functional movement screen. Forced Inhalation & Exhalation helps activate postural muscles which are slow to fatigue and important for stabilization.

LSFM Method

Movement Prep Mobility

The purpose of the step in the warm up is to work on the mobility of the BIG 3-Ankles, Hips, and T-spine. But the mobility exercises also will mimic in some way, the regular strength exercises they will do in the main part of the workout. This increases motor control. Some of these exercises will come from the functional movement screen corrective exercises, depending on the clients results of this movement screen.

Vagul Stimulation

Body Clapping, Pinching, Somatic Exercises, Eye Movement

The vagus nerve is the biggest nerve in your body and starts in the brain and intersects every major organ. It also is the beef of your ‘Rest and Digest’ Nervous system. 1st exercise here will be based on the client’s current nervous system state. Wherever they are at on the spectrum, we do an exercise to make sure they are not in fight or flight.

Proprioception techniques

Plucking/pinching of the skin, clapping/hitting of the skin and rubbing/scrubbing skin. With the skin being a highly proprioceptive organ, Stimulating skin enhances proprioceptive feedback which in turn should foster better motor outputs.

Oculomotor

Oculomotor techniques include eye-movement exercises which stimulate the 4 cranial nerves and the many muscles responsible for optimal eye function. This leads to greater feedback to the nervous system and improved preparedness to move.
