Clifton Bradeley Biomechanics and Podiatry Consultation

Great question! Clifton says that the key to efficient function in sport is a stable sacral base (base of the spine). He says that if your pelvis is level in all three body planes then most sports injuries will either heal on their own or will settle quicker. Clifton's techniques are unique and will tell you how you function throughout your whole body.

This is based on the theory that the pelvis is the seat, the upper body is the passenger and the legs the locomotors drives.

Clifton says that if the pelvis is out i.e. then the legs will function asymmetrically and the upper body centre of mass (gravity) will be pushed to one side massively increasing the risk of injury. Most knee, Achilles and back pain etc issues are based on this theory.
