Gary Ward's Anatomy in Motion Phase 4: The AiM Method

Gary Ward's Anatomy in Motion Phase 4 The AiM Method

What is Anatomy in Motion - AiM ?

Anatomy in Motion is a Method unlike any other which uses the Flow Motion Model to determine exactly what movements you are missing or struggling to access, and regardless of your symptoms, will use Corrective Movements to re-educate the body in its movements and allow the body to reorganise itself and take the pressure of the system that is causing pain. We get the body to do the healing through movement.

The Flow Motion Model is a description of the journey of every bone and joint in the body in all three dimensions as we walk through a single footstep. Each of the 7 phases create 7 different whole body postures where all joints are specifically moving to formulate the joint. The absence of just one of these joints not moving well, changes the whole flow of our movement and balance. In integrated closed chain motion we have joints under-moving and joints over-moving to create the balance in the system, but either scenario can be a problem for the body. The Flow Motion Model creates a base for reasoning how these missing motions are contributing to the discomfort or pain, and also creates the opportunity to build effective AiM Exercises to restore the missing motions.

“The AiM Method” is where clinical practice meets advanced movement analysis, taking your skills to the next level. This phase is designed for therapists and practitioners ready to apply their knowledge to a wide range of clients, from elite athletes to general populations. The course equips you with a comprehensive assessment protocol that goes beyond treating symptoms—it’s about uncovering and addressing the root causes of physical issues.

You’ve explored the mechanics of human movement and mapped every joint through the Flow Motion Model. Now it’s time to bring it all together. The AiM Method is the integration point of your entire AiM education. It’s where anatomy, movement, and clinical practice merge into one intelligent system providing you with the framework that connects everything you’ve learned into something you can truly use.

In Phase 4 “The AiM Method” you’ll bring together all the insights and knowledge from the previous phases to create a comprehensive assessment protocol that can be applied to any client or patient. This course is designed to equip you with the tools to understand a person’s physical condition through a detailed assessment of resting, dynamic, and gait-based postures.

This holistic approach allows you to correlate injury history with current movement patterns, giving you the tools to craft targeted interventions that restore optimal movement and well-being. “The AiM Method” represents a significant leap in your practice, empowering you to provide deeper, more effective care for your clients. This phase gives you the confidence to assess and address physical issues with precision, helping to restore optimal movement and overall well-being.

You’ll learn to interpret the movement potential within every body, both dynamic, at rest and visible in the walking gait cycle. These patterns point a finger at a person's pain: why it exists, what’s driving it, and how to restore balance through movement.

This phase is designed for therapists and practitioners ready to apply their knowledge to a wide range of clients, from elite athletes to general populations. The course equips you with a comprehensive assessment protocol that goes beyond treating symptoms—it’s about uncovering and addressing the root causes of physical issues.

Key Takeaways:

– Advanced clinical practice for diverse populations, from elite athletes to general clients.

– Gait-based approach to understanding and addressing movement challenges.

– Targeted interventions based on the Flow Motion Model.

– Integration of all previous learnings to create optimised movement solutions.

– Empowerment to help anyone Find Centre by restoring missing movements as determined by your AiM Method assessments.

3 days 9-5pm

Over the 3 days you will .

·      Decode movement and postural patterns with precision

·      Identify compensations that drive pain and performance issues

·      Build strategies that restore true balance and efficient movement

·      Apply the AiM philosophy across any client or discipline

The AiM Method is the bridge between knowledge and mastery. It’s where practitioners evolve from understanding concepts to applying them in themselves and others.
