While training athletes in a progressive manner is what we are known for, we also spend a lot of time with both injured and healthy athletes trying to further joint stability. Joints are compromised when restricted or when the muscles protecting and surrounding them are not strong enough. Muscle injuries also occur, and after being diagnosed with what the deficiency is, we take the proper strength and flexibility measures to rehabilitate the athlete.

We provide a balance of proper warm-ups and running drills to balance the kinetic chain. We also focus on balance drills which challenge the stabilizer muscles. These are the muscles that support the joints. Proper muscular balance is key to minimizing injuries. Where many athletes have weak hamstrings, for example, this is often due to a weak core (abdominal/lower back) or an in-balance of hamstring to quadriceps strength ratio. We would then work on the deficient areas to create a more ideal muscular balance.

Our treadmill training also works on the rehabilitation portion as well. A large percent of injuries can be prevented or corrected with just correcting the athletes proper running form. The treadmill workouts train all components necessary to improve and strengthen deficiencies. We often see athletes, with past knee injuries that still bother them, begin to work on the treadmill and through time their aches and pains minimize while their athletic performance maximizes.
