Functional Path Training: OrthoSport Seminar

Functional Path Training

The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

OrthoSport Seminar - Baltimore

I had a great weekend teaching the “Following the Functional Path” seminar at OrthoSport (www.orthosportphysicaltherapy.net) in Baltimore, Maryland. Alice Kahl, the owner of OrthoSport and a great therapist was the host. I am always amazed by her knowledge and continued interest in learning and sharing. I love these seminars where I learn as much as I teach. It was small group, 20 people, which is actually great for teaching and interchange. I just want to thank Alice and all the people who attended for a very up lifting weekend.

I'll spend the next several weeks working much of his instruction into my coaching for the upcoming seasons. I know that the athletes I'll be working with in the future will benefit greatly from Vern's lessons. Thanks to Alice for hosting and Vern for Sharing!

Thank you,
