Personal Training


A personalized training program should address total body movements to combat the daily repetitive motions that cause pain and dysfunction while incorporating range of motion, strength, coordination, and stabilization exercises.

 

Post- Rehab Personal Training

 

Have you sustained an injury and afraid to get back to a workout routine for fear of getting injured again?

 

Are you getting sore or stiff during your workouts  in the same area and cannot figure out the cause ?

 

Post-rehabilitation fitness helps patients with injuries or recovering from diseases transition from sickness to fitness. Medical fitness focuses on preventive care more than treatment with exercise. Medical fitness professionals usually work with a special population, such as older adults or post-surgical clients.

 

 

Sports Specific Training for Young Athletes


Young athletes need proper training for sports. They should be encouraged to train for thesport rather than expecting the sport itself to get them into shape. Many injuries can be prevented if they incorporate exercises designed specifically for their chosen sport and position.

 

Young men and women athletes need exercises that are designed for prevention and focus on technique based on developmental issues.  During these athletic tasks, girls tend to demonstrate less use of the hamstring muscles, less knee and hip flexion, and greater inward collapse of the knees than boys.

 

 

 

 


Sports Specific Training for Runner

 

Runners often overlook strength, balance and multi-directional training yet this conditioning can yield major gains in respiratory efficiency, core stability, and running economy. The mechanism here is muscle strength, which improves performance and prevents injury.  In regards to training men and women each have specific needs that must be addressed to prevent chronic injuries that limit running pace and/or distance.
