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 instructor, and a PaddleFit and GOATA Groundwork Coach? Yes, and he wants to share his knowledge.

Why Movement Training?

We have found that most of us have learned bad movement and posture habits due to sitting in chairs (Think school!), wearing tight fitting shoes, injuries and more. This can create issues causing pain and stiffness, and even speed up the aging process. Dr Tony’s one-on-one movement assessment will help uncover any core and movement issues, and look at foundational movements related to sitting/lifting/resting/reaching, mobility (optimal joint and muscle functioning), deep core strength, walking, running, breathing, and overall posture. All basic things we do and take for granted every day! For established clients, this may be a way to work on issues that keep you in a cycle of continuous pain or flare ups. For some, Movement Training can even help you increase performance (agility/speed/strength)!

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 Movement Training Session?

The first 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

- 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).

What To Bring?

Once your session is booked, please bring a small towel and exercise mat. Please wear athletic clothing and footwear.
