Part training and part treatment, a new kind of sports therapy — Foundation Roots — revamps how active people look at the body’s strength core.
. . .
A mishmash of yoga, tai chi and a handful of unique moves and poses designed to increase strength and flexibility, Foundation seems to be part training and part treatment. Founders Park and Eric Goodman insist that for years, everyone from professional athletes to weekend handball players have labored under the misconception that abdominal muscles are the core muscles of the body. Focused on strengthening and loosening the chain of muscles running from the lower back to the hamstrings, the duo proselytize to people about thinking differently and retraining the way they move their bodies.A mishmash of yoga, tai chi and a handful of unique moves and poses designed to increase strength and flexibility, Foundation seems to be part training and part treatment.

I feel like my cycling, training life is a bit like a Chinese buffet right now. A few favorites, a few new flavors, some stuff I’m not sure about, but hey, why not give it a whirl? Here’s a look at what’s on my plate and why:
. . .
Foundation Training: I’ve talked about it before and I’m still doing it. I don’t have back pain, never have (knock on wood). But my left knee occasionally gets grumpy and lord knows I sit on my butt far too many hours a day (like many of you, I’m sure), so my hips, hamstrings, and glutes are weaker/tighter/more imbalanced than they ought to be for how active I am. A few Good Mornings, Windmills, and Woodpeckers, à la Eric Goodman and Peter Park of Foundation Training, stretch and strengthen my muscles in all the right ways.

Thats the way it was for me with Foundation, by Dr. Eric Goodman and Peter Park.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — With 2,023 minutes already logged and seven matches remaining, San Jose Earthquakes captain Ramiro Corrales is on pace to play more minutes this year than he has in any MLS season since 1999.
Did the 34-year-old, who had to take cortisone shots in preseason to relieve his persistent back pain, find the fountain of youth?
No, he just got a really good book recommendation from Quakes assistant coach Mark Watson: “Foundation: Redefine Your Core, Conquer Back Pain and Move with Confidence,” written by Summerland, Calif., back specialist Dr. Eric Goodman, who has worked with a number of athletes, including those on the US Olympic water polo team.
