PERSONAL MOVEMENT TRAINING
Did you know that Dr Tony has over 10 years training and competing in stand up paddleboard (SUP) racing, is a certified ACE Sports Performance Specialist, a PaddleFit and GOATA Groundwork Coach? YES, and he wants to share his knowledge with you!
“After 25 years of clinical experience working on and with the human body, I feel that working with my clients on the floor, mat, gym, or track I can hone in on things while my client is moving. I can help them correct issues on the spot, teach how to correct and strengthen them, and in some instances use my hands-on-skills to go get faster changes. I act like a hybrid functional-trainer-manual-therapist.”
WHY PERSONAL MOVEMENT TRAINING?
Many people develop bad movement and posture habits from sitting, wearing tight shoes, injuries, and other factors. These habits can lead to pain, stiffness, and may accelerate aging. Dr. Tony offers a one-on-one movement assessment to identify core and movement problems, focusing on basic activities like sitting, squatting, lifting, resting, reaching, mobility, core strength, walking, running, breathing, and posture. This assessment can help ongoing clients address issues that cause persistent pain. Additionally, Personal Movement Training can enhance performance in agility, speed, and strength.
Training plans are developed based on client goals.
OPEN TO ANYONE!!!
This session is available to established and non-established clients. We want to offer a way for people to become aware of and learn about any issues that affect our daily lives. Foundational and basic aspects of breathing, resting, sitting, lifting, bending, reaching, walking and running are important in daily activities.
What Happens In A Personal Movement Training Session?
The first Personal Movement Training session is not a physical training or manual therapy session, but a session that evaluates and assesses the following:
- breathing mechanics
- deep core engagement
- sitting/resting (ground access)
- walking
- squatting
- running (if required)
You will then receive detailed instruction on how and what at-home exercises to do. These self care exercises will be daily, easy to do (but challenging) drills. Individualized progress and updated exercise drills may be assessed at a later date depending on your goals (Progressive Movement Training Re-Evaluation).
Some aspects covered on subsequent visits may include:
- Optimal Hand positioning and mechanics for the push up
- Optimal Foot positioning and mechanics for the squat
- Shoulder positioning and mechanics
Buiding optimal hand, foot, shoulder mechanics along with other movements increases strength and performance while also reducing rhe risk of injuries and compensation patterns.
What To Bring?
Once your session is booked, please bring a small towel and exercise mat. Please wear athletic clothing and footwear.
