Gary Ward's Anatomy in Motion Phase 2: Closed Chain Biomechanics: 06 October 2025

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.

What is Phase 2 – Closed Chain Biomechanics?

Phase 2 is the next step in the AiM journey and “Closed Chain Biomechanics of the Human Body” takes you deeper into the mechanics of the human body, with a focus on tri-planar joint motion and the integration of feet, legs, torso, and arms. This course provides a comprehensive and detailed look at how the body’s structures interact in a closed chain environment, where the foot is engaged with the ground, influencing the entire kinetic chain above.

Description

3 days 9-5pm

Over the 3 days you will .

     ●        Explore and understand the multi-dimensional closed chain mechanics of the upper and lower body in motion, and the ideal way that these joints sequence together in specific patterns for efficient, pain-free movement.

     ●        Observe how movement in the three planes directly affects the soft tissue and muscular system

     ●        Observe two principal movement patterns of the lower limb (pronation & supination) and how these are represented in whole body movement patterns (which we shall later map out as gait phases in the Flow Motion Model course)

     ●        Learn static and dynamic 3D assessments and use critical reasoning to determine movement based solutions

     ●        Begin to optimise the movement of these structures to target integrated joint motion and muscle load

     ●        Explore AiM wedges and how we can use them to influence the bony mechanics
