Episode 184 – The Most Useful Assessment You’re Probably Not Using
Most movement assessments promise precise data on dysfunctions. CARs do something more useful: they give you a powerful starting point.
In this episode, I share how I use Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) as my top-tier assessment—not because they give you all the answers, but because they create the foundation for coaching that actually works. CARs let you meet the client where they are, teach them what’s happening in their body, and start coaching the lowest-hanging fruit immediately—without overcomplicating. That clarity builds trust, momentum, and long-term change.
Inside Movement School, I teach you how to use CARs to start smart, coach confidently, and evolve your programming as clients grow. The next cohort opens soon—wait list link is in the show notes.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
