About First Principles of Movement

Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle defined a first principle as "the first basis from which a thing is known." Based upon this concept, first principles thinking boils a process down to the fundamental parts you know are true and builds up from there. First principles thinking is a powerful way to help you break out of herd mentality, think outside the box, and ultimately innovate brand-new solutions to familiar problems.

The FPM Precision Programming concepts & philosophy are evidence-based & practical. They bridge the gap from research to practice to reduce injury risk; accelerate rehab; prevent chronicity; enhance performance in the lifespan of health. This knowledge translation occurs through our unique Lab Immersion Experience with interactive live problem-based active learning presentations and hands-on evaluation and training exercises.
