The Method Step By Step

The structure of the FitzGordon Method varies with each individual. Below is an overview of the topics covered over the course of the program.

Self awareness
Who am I? How do I move? Why do I move the way I do? To start to change, you will understand where you need to change.

The Pelvis
The pelvis is like the hub of wheel. When the hub is not centered and properly aligned, the hub’s spokes (the legs and the trunk) don’t know how to settle in the proper places. This session will teach you about the function and proper placement of your pelvis.

The Footfall
Healthy feet work in a very specific way. Do you live on the inside or outside of your feet? Learn how to place your feet when you stand and walk. (While the program benefits everyone, if your answer is the outside of your feet, the program is for specifically for you!)

The Leg
What is the difference between the knee joint and the ankle joint? What is a hamstring? What is the ileofemoral ligament? Learn all about your legs, and how to use them as you never have before.

The Hyoid
There is only one bone in the whole body that “floats”. Your hyoid bone is not connected to any other bone in the body’s usual fashion. The majesty of this bone is that it effectively connects the back, the chest, the jaw and the skull to the spine. You will learn to properly use this bone, which will align the entire upper pole of your body.

The Trunk
The human nervous system initiates all of our movement and controls movement patterning. Understanding our structural design, with our trunk at the center, and the proper use of our design allows our nervous system to function at peak capacity.

The Rib Cage
Do you take your breath for granted? We breathe 18-20 thousand times a day. Learning how to best place the rib cage opens up greater space for your lungs to expand.

Soft Belly
By the end you are rooting your legs down into the earth, lengthening your spine endlessly up to the sky and feeling strong and steady in your center. You will conclude the program by finding softness in your core that will ease your thoughts and tension as you walk through the rest of your life •
