What is Foundation Training?
Foundation Training is a movement practice designed to restore the body’s natural order and put YOU at the centre of your health. It teaches your body how to properly support itself and move as nature intended. It was developed by chiropractor and movement expert, Dr Eric Goodman, to heal his own chronic back pain. Having refused spinal fusion surgery prescribed to him by several doctors, he managed to get himself out of pain within a year. Now, years later, Dr Goodman leads an active, pain free life and has developed an incredible series of exercises to help others do the same.
Thousands of people who were in pain with anything from sore knees and failing hips to bad backs and painful shoulders, have discovered remarkable healing through Foundation Training. The power of decompression and the restoration of correct movement make this programme a natural and effective alternative to heavy-handed medical intervention.
This programme is not a temporary remedy, but a systematic solution that offers long-term benefits. Practicing Foundation Training enables one to reach, achieve and experience incredible health and wellness.

Here’s to 2025 being another year for FTIUK clients, current and new, moving towards pain free living! ✨
The Founder: One of the exercises we aim to master with clients early on. It pulls together the key benefits of Foundation Training and has fast acting pain relief once understood and embodied. It is also easily applied for daily movement (bending, lifting etc) so clients can quite quickly feel the benefit.![]()

The purpose is to bring the hips back to the centre of movement and teach them to hinge properly. This activates and strengthens the muscles supporting the spine, and develops control and coordination with the hips, knees, ankles and feet. ![]()

The knee is a relatively simple joint moving largely in one plane. However, it sits between two highly mobile areas with multidirectional movement - the hips and feet/ankles.![]()
![]()
Due to their complexity it is easy to lose movement control at the hips and feet/ankles leading to a breakdown in communication between the two areas.![]()
![]()
When this communication is compromised, the knee joint has to act as a support structure due to its natural relative stability resulting in overuse, pain and injury.![]()
![]()
TOP TIP: if you have knee pain, don’t focus on the knee, focus on teaching your feet and hips to communicate and work together ![]()
