Why We Build Your Body For Life Outside The Gym
When your training doesn’t involve rational components, your function away from the gym diminishes, because in reality the human body moves via macro and micro rotations. Perhaps not overnight, but eventually routine tasks you used to be able to do without any repercussions become a chore on your body. Playing a game of golf on […]
Stretching, Evolved.
Evolve the way you “stretch” your muscles We condition muscles, along with the fascia that surrounds them, to lengthen and shorten through an entire rep. Thus we are stretching and exercising all in one move The benefit to this simultaneous coordination is that the muscles are preserving their elasticity (ability to elongate and then recoil […]
Proper Muscle Function
Without proper muscle activity, physical activity suffers. If your muscles don’t work when you work, your body picks up the slack in deficit ways. Walking the dogs, playing tennis, exercising, standing, and moving all require functional muscles if you want to do them without consequences. We will teach your body (and brain) how to activate […]
Rotational Strength
Your body needs to have the ability to rotate through all planes of motion while your muscles are controlling the range of movement. When the body has to stay stiff to activate muscles, and it comes time to bend, turn, change directions, etc., it’s going to put torque in the joints because the muscles can’t […]
Dysfunctional Muscle
Work around dysfunctional muscles and movement impairments cumulate. Work through the nitty gritty of retraining the kinetic chain to optimal function and expect a return to quality of life and freedom to move! The way you train determines the outcome. Proper exercise patterns that respect human movements, or arbitrarily lifting weights the way you see […]
Physical Fitness
If physical fitness only means big muscles and a 6 pack to you then you’ll likely encounter other detriments to your health over time. Fitness has more to do with your ability to function and perform in any given scenario without suffering from aches and pains- during and after. Without prioritizing function in your training […]
Heavy Lifting
Relying on heavy weights to produce muscle activity is like cheating on an exam, you pass but you don’t learn anything for real life. Your muscles should be capable of producing maximal tension with optimal positioning of your bones. Skeletal movement engages muscle automatically. The way your skeleton aligns when you move determines how effectively […]
Knee Pain
Wearing a knee brace because you have knee pain doesn’t solve the problem. Like a bandaid on a gunshot wound. Your chronic pain is likely the result of improper muscle function compounding over time, making the joint work harder than it has to. Leading to inflammation that doesn’t go away just because you put a […]
The Way You Exercise
Recognize that the way you exercise has significant influence over your function and fitness, and your dysfunction and pain. Training like what you see in the mainstream gym culture likely produces the same results- decrepit posture, lower back pain, a knee brace, etc. Movement that replicates the mechanics of the way the human body moves […]
Ankle Sprains
A dysfunctional muscle in your lower kinetic chain will disrupt the interdependence of your neuromusculoskeletal system and cause dysfunction further up the chain. Malfunction at your ankle causes your knee and hip to move poorly and compensate around the misuse of the ankle, the spine shifts to make up for the lack of proper mobility […]
