Based on information from Functional Movement Systems and various other internet resources, we are presenting a 6-week rehabilitation program in one post to help those who need to fix muscular balance and strength issues. Think of this program as a way to prevent future injury.
This program is stand-alone, and one should not do the posted workout of the day from the site while completing the program. Anyone can use this program as a cycle in their training programming and come back to normal training stronger and ready to tackle the next challenge. Do not mistake easier or short for lack of training. Most people over-train and do not let their body rest properly. That being said, this program is not easy by any means.
Use a weight appropriate to your skill level, beginners should use a lighter kettlebell, with more advanced practitioners should use a heavier kettlebell. By no means should you use heavier than a 1.5-pood (53-pound) kettlebell for any of these exercises. This is rehabilitation and injury prevention, not for strength gains.
For continued results, once a week after Week Six, throw in one of the workouts into your training program. Remember, when all else fails, your best bet when needing a quick and effective workout: alternating sides for TGUs for 5 minutes. If there is still an imbalance, continue with this program as needed, or if the imbalance is corrected, do the same amount of reps on each side.
It is also encouraged to do two Mobility WOD exercises after each session, focusing on problem areas.
