Fulcrum Response was borne of change.
This effort and company was named "Fulcrum" very deliberately...
A Fulcrum is a physical pivot point. These apply in coaching weightlifting, swimming,
and many other orthopaedic or physics conversations
However, a sharp pivot point can also be the description of a life change too
This is what prompted me to spend the last decade adding layers to training experience
Extra learning was always exciting and there is always a new way to help others move better
Over time, it has evolved to a unique mix of several dogmas.
Combine that with water training ideas;
and we have the gravity based recipe used with clients today
You could say I am gravity obscessed
As a lifetime swimmer, water was the basic premise for learning
to use a range of gravity in training.
I have helped many who have difficulty moving around on land.
Utilizing less than bodyweight loads allows us to push further
into training sensitive areas and joints.
Over time, and seeing overlapping results of water and weight room, the thinking evolved:
A focus of mobility, control & end range work helps everyone!
Swimmers can benefit from building stronger response outside of the water &
mobility or injury minded work can be improved using the water.
Working in the water is a balance of ridgidity and fluid relaxed mechanics
Weight room tasks can be modified to duplicate this for all
Both are interchangeable in Fulcrum's view
