# G8way Max

> G8way Max teaches optimal human movement through the 8 Movement Points — a system of assessments, personalised coaching, and training that helps athletes and everyday humans become pain-free, injury-resistant, and high-performing.

G8way Max is built around a single methodology: the 8 Movement Points. These are the eight points the body must move through correctly to stay aligned, durable, and powerful — in sport and in life. The flow is: take a six-picture Performance Assessment scored on those eight points, get your G8way Grade (a musculoskeletal security score where 100% means you move like the best on the planet), follow a personalised program that anchors to your weakest point, and reassess monthly. A physical product (Slant Boards) supports the foot foundation that everything else stacks on.
