Description
Balance isn’t coached. It’s built. Learn how.
Your ability to balance on one leg reveals more about your movement than you might think. That “automatic” balance is fundamental to gait and to any activity involving locomotion. In this course, Gray Cook breaks down single leg patterns from the ground up, showing why balance can’t be effectively coached at the conscious level—because perception drives behavior.
You’ll explore the FMS assessments and screens used to uncover pain, dysfunction, and asymmetry in single leg stance. Gray also demonstrates how to distinguish between mobility and stability problems to guide better corrective choices.
Leave with the Ability to:
- Understand the role of single leg balance — recognize its importance in gait and locomotion.
- Identify dysfunctions and asymmetries — apply FMS screens to separate mobility issues from stability problems.
- Use perception-driven strategies — appreciate why balance is hard to coach consciously and how behavior is shaped through perception.
- Apply 12 targeted exercises — implement practical drills that improve balance behavior and create observable, single-session changes.

Access the full Corrective Strategies Series with our bundle option! This collection explores the FMS approach to identifying and correcting movement dysfunctions across key patterns, including Hip Hinge, Upper Body, Rotation, and Squat.
Each course highlights the differences between SFMA, FMS, and Symmio assessments, then progresses into corrective exercises organized by both the developmental hierarchy (Supported, Suspended, Stacked, and Standing) and the ABCs principle (Awareness, Breathing, and Control). Reactive Neuromuscular Training (RNT) is used throughout to engage motor learning—or as Gray Cook calls it, “motor remembering.”
With the addition of Symmio, you’ll also gain insights into self-screening and how non-musculoskeletal lifestyle factors impact overall movement health and wellness.
