Chain Reaction Biomechanics

In this first vlog on a particular stroke in tennis I will attempt to analyse the biomechanics of the chain reaction and how to train the body to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.. I will show you how the principles, strategies and techniques of Applied Functional Science contained in the 3DMAPS process form the … Read more …

I use these six chain reactions from 3DMAPS each day, in my basic training regime for maintaining good function for everyday life. I add tweaks to these and use hybrid chains with in sync and out of sync movements as well as a wealth of other fundamental movement chain reaction matrices as required, for training … Read more …

  The main focus in this vlog will be my recent calf injury and the  rehab process which demonstrates how weakness in the chain can lead to injury and how effective rehab and future prehab must focus on the entire chain. This video I made a few years ago to address a common injury in … Read more …

The groundstroke take back is a chain reaction motion in all 3 planes. The transformational zone is a vital component in a chain reaction. I want to illustrate how the joint motions in the chain accomplish the movement in the take back efficiently whatever style you use, Classic ATP, Next Gen, or any other hybrid … Read more …

In this second of the series on chain reaction as an undeniable principle of human movement, let’s start at the base and see how the foot and ankle react to the force from the ground as you move, and how that translates up the chain, when playing tennis. My video analysis will contrast efficient with … Read more …

In this Introduction to chain reaction biomechanics, I hope to convince you that we would all benefit in our daily lives, from a better understanding of how our bodies are designed to move and how that impacts training, coaching, and playing tennis. Movement is one of the greatest treasures in life and a source of … Read more …
