About SQUARE 1
The SQUARE 1 System interviews and restores organization to the nervous system to unlock better movement expressions. By integrating biomechanics, neuroscience, and sports performance, it reduces pain, restores efficiency, and elevates overall human performance—helping you move better, recover faster, and perform at your best.
The Origin
SQUARE 1 was built by Shawn Sherman after nearly three years sequestered from the industry, studying human movement by interviewing clients’ nervous systems.
The result is a sensory-first framework that identifies the specific positions and inputs your brain subconsciously treats as threats… then clears them. Layer by layer. So the body stops fighting itself.
Our Mission
SQUARE 1 empowers professionals, athletes, and everyday movers to unlock their potential by resolving sensory incoherence issues that limit the Human Movement System, enabling rapid, lasting upgrades in movement patterns. We guide our heroes—students, workshop hosts, and clients—toward mastery, confidence, and enduring transformation in movement and performance.
Our Values
1. Transformation First
We prioritize results that change lives, not just teach concepts. Whether you’re a client reclaiming pain-free movement, a student mastering The SQUARE 1 System, or a host elevating your community, transformation is our standard.
2. Evidence-Informed Innovation
We combine neuroscience, biomechanics, and practical experience to create tools and systems that work in the real world, bridging research and practice.
3. Empowerment Through Education
We give our heroes the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to take control of their movement, learning, and leadership journey.
4. Community & Collaboration
SQUARE 1 thrives on connection. We foster a supportive network of hosts, students, and clients who share insights, celebrate successes, and grow together.
5. Accessibility & Opportunity
We strive to make cutting-edge movement science accessible to professionals and individuals alike, removing barriers to learning, participation, and growth.
6. Integrity
We operate with honesty, transparency, and ethical standards in all we do—guiding our heroes with trust, respect, and accountability.
