Compression & Expansion

How movement patterns affect performance

Every movement you make relies on a balance of stability and adaptability—whether in sports, training, or daily life. Your body naturally uses expansion and compression strategies to generate force, absorb impact, and maintain control. However, imbalances in these movement patterns can lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced performance.

Why breathing and mobility matter

Developed by Bill Hartman, PT, this approach focuses on how the body expands and compresses to move efficiently. When these movements are restricted, it can lead to stiffness, compensations, and reduced performance. Restoring balance improves mobility, strength, and control.

A proven approach to restoring movement & control

The HELIX Compression & Expansion Program applies cutting-edge movement science to retrain the body’s ability to shift, stabilize, and adapt efficiently.

Better mobility & flexibility

Restore fluid movement and joint control for improved motion.

Enhanced strength & stability

Build a balanced foundation for efficient force production.

Optimized performance

Improve movement mechanics to reduce strain and maximize output.

Common questions

How does this program improve movement?

By addressing imbalances in expansion and compression, we help restore fluid motion, posture, and joint mechanics.

Is this only for athletes, or can anyone benefit?

Anyone experiencing stiffness, restricted movement, or poor posture can benefit—whether for performance or daily function.

How does this apply to strength and power?

Efficient movement strategies enhance force production, endurance, and recovery, making training more effective and sustainable.
