By the end of this course, you will (1) understand and apply the five foundational positions essential to improving movement efficiency and (2) integrate corrective progressions that enhance performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Presented by Dr. Mark Cheng, a leading authority in corrective exercise and movement restoration, this course breaks down the five Groundwork Positions—Periscope, Sphinx, Crawling, Tall-Kneeling, and Half-Kneeling—to help clinicians, trainers, and therapists retrain motor patterns safely and effectively.

In this opening module, Dr. Mark Cheng introduces the foundational philosophy behind Prehab Rehab 101 and explains why elite performance and effective rehabilitation rely on the same principles of movement ownership. Drawing from martial arts, strength training, and Functional Movement Systems, he illustrates how poor movement “prerequisites” force the body into compensation, while strong fundamentals expand an athlete’s buffer for safe output and performance. Learners are guided through the essential developmental positions—supine, prone, quadruped, half-kneeling, and standing—and shown how precise setup, controlled breathing, and awareness form the backbone of rehabilitation and athletic progression. Dr. Cheng emphasizes the difference between renting movement and truly owning it, preparing learners for deeper exploration of detailed groundwork progressions.

Module 2 builds directly on the groundwork principles by advancing into crawling, bear position, and wall-supported climbing progressions. Dr. Cheng demonstrates how reducing points of contact (from six to four to two) increases demand on core stability, limb control, and visual engagement. Learners observe how subtle details—neutral spine, forward gaze, hip position, and controlled weight shifting—govern success in these developmental patterns. The module also includes high-level variations such as diagonal stabilizations, partial inversions, and loaded crawling using ropes and sandbags. Throughout, Dr. Cheng provides practical strategies for adapting the work to clients with wrist pain, knee replacements, limited mobility, or rehabilitation needs. The focus remains on mastering technique first, then layering speed, load, and complexity safely.
