STRENGTH & MOBILITY TRAINING

the perfect duo

It’s all about finding the balance between strength and mobility. The body needs both, but differs in specific areas based on function.

Strength Training Exercises

There are so many benefits to strength training and I am a strong believer that movement is medicine! I bring the equipment to you and we can also incorporate what you have at home! 

I use a mixed approach of strengthening styles:

  1. Targeting specific muscles that I have identified as possible “mechanic trouble makers” because they aren’t doing their job, pulling their weight, or are maybe doing too much! We will discovery this at the initial evaluation and identify these movers that may be causing some trouble. We will incorporate these individualized exercises into your strength training at home treatment throughout the week. I give each patient an exercise log for accountability and organization.  

  2. Strengthening the body as a whole, because it’s one big chain and everything connects. We need a strong foundation.  


Mobility Training

I usually address mobility deficits in a more active style by including active movements in and out of end range postures, basically more on the dynamic stretching side.

This style has been shown to be more beneficial than static stretching, but of course there is a time and place for everything! 

The way forces travel up through our body’s chain can be greatly affected if there is not adequate mobility in a joint that should be very mobile, and vice versa for our more stable joints! Addressing range of motion concerns with mobility training is a very important aspect for regaining function.
