Why Press RESET?

Categories: blog, Pressing RESET, Functional Movement, CEU, fitness Jul 15, 2025

Original Strength's Pressing RESET program is a movement restoration system based on the human developmental sequence and the body's natural design. It's beneficial for personal trainers, physical therapists, K-12 teachers, administrators, and anyone in the health and fitness industry. The program will also benefit anyone who wants to live a better life and feel better. The system operates on the principle that every body is uniquely designed.

Key aspects of the Pressing RESET program:

• Purpose: It helps restore movement patterns and resolve issues that may be limiting success.
• Mechanism: By returning to the body's original movement template, it reboots the central nervous system, enhancing neural connections and leading to improved mobility, stability, and strength. Change can happen at the speed of the nervous system.
• Foundational Movements (The Big Five RESETS): These are diaphragmatic breathing, head control, rolling, rocking, and crawling (or contra-lateral, midline crossing movements). These movements establish and restore "reflexive strength," which is the body's ability to anticipate and respond to movement.
• Core Tenets:
• The body is always designed to move well and be strong.
• The body is designed to heal itself.
• The body is preprogrammed with movement patterns for strength and repair.
• Restoration begins from the person's current state.
• Approach: It is not a movement correction system but rather a functional movement restoration program that feeds the brain with optimal information by returning to the original movement template. It emphasizes starting from where a person is ("good" movement) and progressing to "better" and "best".
• One True Rule: Do not move into pain, as pain hinders the nervous system's ability to reset. Even the smallest movement can be a RESET if done within the limits of pain.
