Three weeks into this spiral line movement from and it is really coming together! Shawn is a former golfer trying to get back into the game without pain. As with many athletes, he has dominance due to the repetitive movements he performs during practice and competition. This imbalance has caused him so much pain in the past that he struggled to keep up with any kind of physical activity. Our biggest focus here is to rebalance our transverse plane and enhance active stability and mobility.

Hey guys! Sorry about the New Years hiatus. As part of our resolution to provide more educational information to our trainees, we will be providing our followers with more updates pertaining to our facility, training tips, and updated scientific information within the health and wellness industry. We will be starting this week with , where we will provide you with different exercise techniques and ideas.
Here we have our friend Alyssa performing a 3 dimensional deadbug movement. This is one of many movements we use to bridge the gap between upper and lower body movement using all 3 planes of motion. Holding the kettlebell this way also trains us to brace through the arm, allowing us to build deeper shoulder stability. This is especially useful in evaluating and correcting any active imbalances we may have in the posterior AND anterior sling. Imbalances in these systems can create spinal distortions that cause pain and inhibit our ability to move efficiently.

In previous posts, we’ve talked about the importance of addressing posture and how technology and industrial culture has affected it. Forward head posture, alternately known as “text neck” has become a standard to our sedentary population. While adjustments, stretches, and massage therapy may help to temporarily alleviate pain, the only way to completely rid yourself of symptoms is to treat the source of those symptoms through controlled and active movements. In this video, we see a very creative and effective way to work the stabilizers of the neck, ultimately restructuring the way you hold your head on your shoulders.
Call or message us to set up your FREE one hour evaluation with a trainer and see which movements are your key to being pain free!

As promised, here is another game changing technique to help you guys fix your forward head posture. Since heaps of mistakes can be made doing our techniques, mainly because there is not an FP practitioner …

The majority of chronic conditions and injury today are a result of an underlying imbalance of muscle tension around a joint. This affects our posture and the way we move in our environment creating excessive compression and fraying of soft tissues.

❗️Most chiros just push you back into position. This doesn’t work if unbalanced muscles are pulling those bones back out of position. Over time without corrective exercise, the muscles become overstretched and allow the joints to fall out of place easier, ultimately making you rely on your chiro to keep you in place your whole life.

❗️Most yoga teaches you to use diaphragmatic breathing in a semi-stagnant state to elongate and relax the muscles. While this may help to decompress joints for a few days (or hours), it does not teach you how to use the diaphragm and joints together properly in a realistic environment. Over time, this result in the same temporary results and hyper-mobility frequent adjustments will give you.

❗️Stretches help to relieve an overactive muscle but does not teach or tone the muscle to hold that corrected position permanently also resulting you over relaxed and weak.

✅While all methodology has its place in certain situations, the only way to get permanent results is to find movements or exercise progressions SPECIFIC TO YOUR BODY that both relaxes overactive muscles and tightens weak or under active muscles. Teaching a person body awareness and how to train with specific intent is key to rebalancing the body. This may be difficult with soft tissue complications like impinged nerves and myofascial tightness. Release methods such as massage, trigger point therapy, active release therapy, body tempering, flossing, and scraping may help to gain sensation at the muscles, decrease pain, and encourage full range of motion at tight joints.

Biomechanics specialists and a combination of very selective chiros, trainers, and therapists will be able to figure out the right balance of all methodology to get you to where you should be.
