Ready to See the Results You’ve Been Working For?

Ever feel like you’re putting in the hard work but not seeing the results you expect? It’s frustrating when you’re giving your all but still hitting performance plateaus or dealing with bad techniques. These issues often stem from a lack of biomechanics training, making it tough to pinpoint what’s holding you back. Address these specific problems head-on with personalized assessments and targeted exercises. Fine-tune your technique, improve movement efficiency, and get the most out of every training session to achieve the results you’ve been striving for.

Sport Specific Training to Elevate Your Game

Our sports performance training offers a non-traditional approach to help athletes of any sport and age overcome common issues like chronic pain, limited mobility, and ineffective rehabilitation methods. Instead of sticking with conventional therapies that might not yield results, sports performance training focuses on personalized solutions that address these specific problems directly.

We specialize in tackling the unique challenges faced by athletes across various disciplines, including:

Blank *DO NOT DELETE
Running

As a runner, you know that issues like uneven movement, injuries, poor form, and muscle imbalances can seriously impact your performance. Reduce your risk of injury and improve your running through comprehensive, holistic training. We work closely with you to analyze your unique running gait, body mechanics, and more, pinpointing specific inefficiencies and imbalances that might be holding you back

Key benefits of using a sports performance trainer for runners include:

  • Gait Analysis
  • Posture Evaluation
  • Corrective Exercises
  • Technique Coaching
Golfing

Golfers often struggle with swing inefficiencies, muscle imbalances, and postural issues that can hold you back from achieving your best game. A golf swing trainer tackles these specific challenges by enhancing the power and precision of your swing. By focusing on refining your swing technique, correcting posture, and balancing muscle strength, you’ll be able to play more consistently and comfortably, extending your enjoyment of the game well into the future.

Tennis

Achieve a better swing and overall performance by addressing specific challenges such as rotational strain, muscle imbalances, and flexibility. By analyzing swing mechanics and optimizing rotational movements, a sports performance trainer refines the technique and enhances shot accuracy. Strategies for injury prevention and recovery are implemented into your life to reduce injury risk and support long-term performance. Unlike general sports physical training, which covers broad exercises, these specialized approaches are designed to meet the unique needs of tennis players, ultimately boosting your game and reducing the likelihood of injuries.

Hockey

Hockey players often struggle with shoulder strain from shots, groin injuries from skating, and lower back pain from rotational movements, which can impact performance and increase injury risk.

It’s essential to analyze skating mechanics to boost efficiency and power. Refining shooting and passing techniques can improve accuracy while developing rotational strength can enhance performance and reduce strain. Focusing on posture and alignment, increasing agility and speed, and preventing injuries through tailored exercises can correct muscle imbalances and build core strength.

Sports performance training also helps improve flexibility and mobility. Recovery strategies support muscle repair and prevent overuse injuries. Using targeted solutions, specifically for hockey players, will elevate your on-ice performance, address current injuries, and prevent future issues.

Pickleball

If you’re a pickleball player dealing with shoulder pain, knee strain, or wrist injuries, a sports performance trainer can make a real difference. Hone in on the movements and mechanics that are unique to pickleball to help you play and feel better. You’ll find that you move more efficiently on the court by analyzing and refining your stroke techniques, optimizing your footwork, and improving your balance. Plus, targeted exercises will strengthen your rotational muscles, enhance your flexibility, and correct any muscle imbalances. With a focus on effective recovery strategies and injury prevention, this approach goes beyond what general physical therapy offers. It’s all about addressing the specific demands of pickleball to keep you performing at your best and enjoying the game without the hassle of constant injuries.

How We Use Functional Patterns to Overcome Common Issues Experienced in Sports

Functional Patterns is a holistic approach to movement and training that focuses on how the body naturally moves and functions in everyday activities and sports. Practicing this directly boosts your performance and helps overcome common sports concerns such as:

Joint Pain

Joint pain is common among athletes and can sideline even the most dedicated players. Resolve the underlying causes of joint discomfort through personalized biomechanics assessment and training. This holistic approach not only empowers athletes to excel in their sport but also safeguards against future injuries.

Lack of Warm-Up Routines

Many athletes underestimate the importance of a popular warm-up routine, contributing to common injuries. We’ll teach you warm-up techniques to enhance flexibility, circulation, and muscle readiness, preparing you effectively for your activity.

Post-Activity Uncertainty

After physical activity, athletes often feel uncertain about what to do next, especially when pain or discomfort arises. At Move As A Human, we provide clear guidance on effective post-activity care to manage symptoms and promote recovery.

Symptom Relief Methods

Athletes often turn to quick-fix methods such as heating pads, Advil, icing, or rest to alleviate post-activity symptoms. While these provide temporary relief, they fail to address underlying causes. Tackle the root cause to relieve discomfort and prevent future issues.
