Motor Control (Balance + Stability) Flow with Gray Cook

The Motor Control Flow is a practical starting point for individuals who need to correct balance and stability problems. In this case, Lee Burton shows an asymmetry on the Motor Control Screen (MCS). It works great as a warm-up or cool-down addition to existing programming. Gray Cook explains how a path differs from an exercise by providing an obstacle course that often includes struggles and minimal coaching resulting in awareness of movement imbalances and asymmetries.
The Motor Control Flow is a three-station progression using a half-foam roll. The A (Awareness) station is a flat-back on-beam exploration of rotational stability and stride. The B (Breathing) station is a crawl-to-kneel pattern that syncs the breath while working the extremes of horizontal-to-vertical postures. The C (Control) station is a kneeling stride that syncs the breath with full body and oppositional movement.
Functional Movement Systems’ Movement Flows are quick movement progressions that serve as starting points and gather information on where you stand in relation to your health and wellness goals. Before we can correct our movement through exercise and activity, we need to reinstall an awareness of what it feels like to move authentically.
The Movement Flows are deceptively simple screening and corrective tools that will work in many situations, especially when used in conjunction with the Functional Movement Screen. If the flow cannot be completed, the individual has found an area that needs correction and should work there until the flow feels natural. If the flow can be completed, the individual should practice, paying greater attention to asymmetries and sticking points and continue as long as they feel and see benefits.

I have a client who will subconsciously extend her toes when I isolate her foot stability. Her foot and ankle have both mobility and stability but she really avoids the toes..!? Do you have any videos/advice on this topic?

At 9:26, Lee was asked to inhale as he stepped and exhale as he returned. Why was he asked to breathe differently at 10:20, exhaling on the step and inhaling on the return? Could you explain the concept of breathing during exercise? Is it important to focus on breathing and not hold your breath? And is it also important to know when to inhale and when to exhale?
