What are the best exercises for low back pain? Gray Cook says that may be the wrong first question. In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray is joined by Dr. Kyle Kiesel, one of the leading researchers in rehabilitation and low back pain, for a deeper conversation about why low back pain is not always a simple weakness problem — and why “strengthen your core” does not always solve the issue. Gray and Kyle discuss inhibition, the multifidus, high-threshold strategies, pain, inflammatio...
In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton explore what it really takes to become more than an exercise professional, clinician, coach, or practitioner who simply applies protocols. The conversation begins with a question Gray has been reflecting on for years: what separates someone who works with movement from someone who has developed true movement expertise? Gray and Lee discuss imposter syndrome, professional growth, mentorship, confirmation bias, movement screeni...
In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton answer some of the most common questions they have received about Functional Movement Systems, the Functional Movement Screen, movement assessment, research criticism, SFMA, corrective exercise, and where the future of movement screening is headed.

Progressing an exercise sounds simple: make it harder, add load, increase reps, or move to a more challenging variation. But in rehab, performance, and corrective exercise, progression is not always that straightforward. In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton discuss how to think through exercise progression and regression using movement baselines, postural positions, neurodevelopmental sequencing, and real-time feedback. They break down why a person may need to ...
Performance is not just about strength, power, conditioning, or sport-specific skill. In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton revisit one of the foundational ideas behind Functional Movement Systems: the performance pyramid. At the base is movement. Above that is performance. At the top is skill. The conversation explores why performance cannot be understood by looking at one test, one lift, one movement, or one sport-specific task in isolation. Before asking how ...
