Movement Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Almir Maljević—FMS partner in Bosnia, educator, and instructor for FMS courses—who has built a thriving system by doing one thing differently: He starts with the person, not the program. From rebuilding his own path after injury… to realizing strength and power weren’t the missing piece… to going all-in on screening, systems, and education… This is a real conversation about what actually works—and what most people get wrong. You’ll learn: • ...

Your gait—how you walk—can reveal a lot about your health, movement quality, and even your risk for injury or falls. In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton break down why gait analysis alone doesn’t tell the full story.

The conversation covers how objective scoring, population comparisons, and AI-driven recommendations can enhance—not replace—clinical expertise. We dig in...

Asymmetries are normal — but not all asymmetries are created equal.

They also discuss why the goal isn’t “perfect symmetry,” but keeping asymmetries from getting worse, and how movement screening helps coaches and clinicians make smarte...

She and Gray discuss: • The inspiration behind her new book Be Responsible • Why heart rate variability (HRV) is a game changer in patient care • How nervous system regulation must come before movement • Using technology like Newbie...
