Stability
Stability is defined by the ability to withstand unwanted forces.
Whenever we move, we call upon many stabilizing muscles throughout our bodies to remain balanced and produce force. If we lack stability in one or multiple joints, our movement as a whole is affected. The human body is a system of systems, and instability can be one of the main drivers behind injury, stiffness, and dysfunctional movement patterns. Moreover, your athletic potential will never be realized if you cannot channel and control forces correctly.
“When we cannot achieve stability through natural means, our bodies will create it.” -Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
— Benjamin Franklin
