The majority of athletic injuries result from poorly designed training programs which often lead to over training or unnecessary wear and tear on the muscles, joints, and connective tissue. The remainder are caused by pre-existing structural and muscular imbalances in the athlete’s body that are only detectable via a comprehensive Phase IV Structural Examination by an experienced  Physical Therapist.

Periodization training breaks the training program into cycles (or periods) where fitness is developed in a scientifically rational sequence, helping you adapt to the stress of exercise and will shore up the areas of your body which are especially vulnerable to injury.

Learn how to correct your structural imbalances with proper strength and flexibility exercises and other interventions that will allow you to keep and lead the active lifestyle you strive to maintain.

At this clinic you will learn:

– If you feel pain in the same area of your body for 2 workouts in any seven day period you have an
injury which needs immediate attention
– How proper strength and flexibility exercises will increase resiliency to injury
– How Periodization Training programs prevent injury
– How ergonomics in the work place and home impact athletic injuries
– How to address injuries when they occur and minimize your down time
– Why rest alone does not heal sports injuries
