Why this approach
More specific than generic fitness.
A handstand is not one drill or one cue. Coaching respects the interaction between mobility, strength, perception, balance, confidence, and repetition so practice remains productive.
The Mastery of Movement bridges rehabilitation, fitness, and long-term physical development. Coaching is educational, progressive, and designed to support independence rather than dependence.
