The complete system for evaluating and correcting human movement.

Corrective Movement Philosophy

Full-body movement patterns analyzed under real conditions to expose compensation and dysfunction.

Human Movement Evaluation

Every major joint isolated and scored against defined pass thresholds — measurable and retestable.

Corrective Exercise Strategies

Smash, Stretch, and Activate — in sequence, every time, tied directly to what the screen reveals.

A complete system for coaches to evaluate and improve movement in clients, fitness enthusiasts, and professionals.

Assess compound movement patterns, screen individual joint mobility, and identify compensation patterns — then deliver a corrective focus with a specific Smash, Stretch, and Activate protocol for each failed screen.

Corrective Movement Philosophy

A six-step scientific framework — Observe, Hypothesize, Predict, Test, Implement, Complete — that removes subjectivity from every corrective decision and makes findings transparent and repeatable.

HMI Evaluation

8 compound movement assessments expose where the body compensates. 13 single-joint mobility screens isolate exactly which restrictions are responsible — each with a defined pass threshold.

Corrective Exercise Strategies

Every failed screen maps directly to a Smash, Stretch, and Activate protocol. Corrective Focus limits work to 1–3 priorities at a time — measurable, manageable, and retestable.

The HMI
Difference

HMI is the only movement evaluation that breaks down the compound movements of the body, juxtaposes them with individual joint mobility, and provides exercises to solve specific movement limitations.

Corrective Movement Philosophy

Learn the 5 key components of evaluating human movement — a structured framework for observing, hypothesizing, and solving movement problems.

Assessments

Our 7 compound movement assessments expose different movement patterns including mobility, stability, and body awareness.

Screens

The 13 individual joint mobility screens we use are designed to isolate each joint of the body to expose where a client may lack mobility.

Corrective Exercise Strategies

Our library of corrective exercises are arranged by the joint they help improve and include techniques for smashing, stretching, and activation.

Our Corrective Exercise Strategy

Smash,
Stretch, Activate.

Every failed mobility screen has a corresponding protocol. Smash addresses tissue restriction. Stretch restores end-range capacity. Activate reinforces control through the newly available range — in that order, every time.

Smash

Soft tissue compression techniques targeting the specific muscles and connective tissue restricting joint range of motion.

Stretch

Targeted lengthening of restricted tissue after smashing — using the newly available range before it closes back down.

Activate

Neuromuscular activation exercises that train the body to own and control its new range — reinforcing the correction through movement.

What clients say

Boise Favorites 2024 — Bronze, Best Gym

"Body Basics is an amazing gym. James and Christine are truly knowledgeable in what they do, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in."

Boise Fire (Jessie C.)

Boise, Idaho

"James has helped me improve my movement and posture significantly. His systematic approach to identifying the root cause of movement issues is unlike anything I've experienced before."

Zerrtech (Jeremy Z.)

Boise, Idaho

"Christine is incredibly skilled at identifying exactly what needs work and why. The corrective exercise protocols she builds are specific, measurable, and actually produce results."
