Functional Strength Training
Functional Strength Training is a term used to describe exercises that help you perform regular daily activities more easily. These exercise are know as compound movements and use multiple joints, which recruits more muscles and emphasize control and strength. By optimizing these movements during training, like squatting, reaching or carrying objects, one can see improvements in quality of life while also reducing the risk of injury.
How is this different than “non-functional” training? Bodybuilding typically focuses on isolated movements to improve the aesthetics, typically for competitions, but have minimal benefit when performing regular daily activities. Other programs place a heavy focus on one type of fitness, like cardiovascular endurance, although real life requires all components of fitness.
Injury Prevention/Evaluation/Rehabilitation
Preventing or rehabilitating injuries is no easy task, but by combining evidence-based research, continued education and over a decade of experience across many health and fitness settings, no stone will be left unturned. A comprehensive examination can help identify compensation patterns that may predispose an individual to repeat or cause a different injury. Based on the results of the examination, a customized training routine will be created for you to take control of your life and the way you feel in your body.
Golf Performance
There is an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club, but there is only one efficient way for every player to swing and that is based on what the player can physically do. This is called the Body-Swing Connection. A movement evaluation can highlight faults that lead to inconsistent ball striking and loss of power. The results are used to create a customized routine and may include: fitness training, therapeutic exercise, injury treatment, swing mechanics, mental strategies or all of the above.
Fitness for the Active Aging Population
The old way of training seniors where they sat in a chair and did exercises is not the way to improve function. The goal is to prioritize being independent by increasing strength, balance and so much more to reduce the likelihood of falls. With an updated approach to training the aging community, you will find the confidence to challenge yourself to new heights, even your younger self never would have imagined doing.
