Functionalpatterns.com or on instagram and youtube. It's basically a posture correction process initially but has expanded to look at all exercise in terms of functional anatomy. It focuses onthe use of movements best designed to enhance the bodies natural ranges of motion and the transfer of power. A good example would be the squat. The recruitment of quads over hams in a traditional squat builds in muscular imbalance in the pelvis and leads to lumbar hyperextension. There is also a focus on contralateral reciprocation through the core as a way of strengthening active posture and reducing injury.Go on... tell me a little more.

It's really fascinating for me as a fairly decent biologist and I really like his ideas
