Enhanced performance or circus acts?

Functional training has become a buzz word and programming trend in the fitness industry over the past few years. In gyms, personal training studios and physiotherapy clinics throughout the country, all manner of exercises are believed to have incredible athletic, therapeutic and performance enhancing benefits simply because they are taught under the banner of ‘functional training”.

Functional is defined as; “having a practical application or serving a useful purpose.”

Using this definition, it would be unlikely that any physical performance professional would train a client or an athlete by implementing “non-functional” methods (i.e. exercises that serve no useful purpose). Unfortunately, non-functional training may occur more often than expected. On one hand there are many fitness trainers (overly concerned with creativity) prescribing exercises that are too challenging or complex (particularly those performed on unnecessarily unstable surfaces) which appear to be more like circus acts than mimicking activities of daily living or sports performance. On the other hand, there are many therapists (overly concerned with pathology) prescribing low-level, single-plane dominant, isolation exercises at ineffectively low loads.

Clearly an effective model, or some structured guidelines for developing and implementing practical and useful functional training, is of value to both physical performance professionals and their clients.

Integrating Fascia into 3Dimensional Movement

webhead — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:04:50 +0000

On a daily basis do you question what you are doing and whether it is working? Are there times you apply an exercise but it doesn’t give you the result you were expecting? This is exactly what the majority of trainers do!

Recent times have seen a major break through in how we define functional anatomy and movement. This has lead to a far different and more effective method of creating “change” in the body. Through great researchers like Thomas Myers and Steven Levin we have been exposed to findings that now challenge existing science. Science that has dictated how we condition and train the body!

This hand on workshop will look at Fascial Lines and how they affect movement with an emphasis on the integration of small functional training props and mobilizers. The session will also look at and apply current science; research and results to expose a better understanding of how we can facilitate change in the body. By appreciating how the body reacts in function we will gain better knowledge in how we can help clients move and feel better in everyday life.

Trigger Point Therapy Performance RE-GENeration Workshop

webhead — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 00:21:58 +0000

What is Trigger Point Performance Therapy?

Is a technique of applying pressure to a specified area in the body in order to target specific muscles and create a situation where the muscle is forced to relax and a spasm is relieved. When using Trigger Point’s Performance tools, three to five minutes of pressure within each muscle group is all that is needed to initiate this technique. The method is recommended before and after workouts, races and prior to stretching. These products are not just for athletes; Trigger Point recommends using the TP Massage Ball, Footroller, Quadball and the Grid for anyone who wishes to bring self massage into their home to aid in the relief or prevention of aches and pains.

Trigger Point Therapy Performance RE-GENeration Workshop

The RE-GENeration workshop delivers a revolutionary new way to care for your body from the inside out. The self-massage movements are intuitive and help connect mind, body leaving your clients feeling revitalized and powerful. Clients take the time to build muscles strength for a healthier life and body, but Trigger Point Trainers can show them how self-massage will compliment those efforts - relieving stress in the body and invigorating tired muscles.

Workshop Description

When it comes to the biomechanics of the body, people tend to forget that muscles enable the body to move. Every bone has a muscle that surrounds it, and every joint has a muscle and a tendon that supports it, so if you don’t take care of the muscles, how can you rely on them to enable your body to move efficiently through life? The RE-GENeration Workshop is a four hour workshop, ideal for anyone who wants to learn a basic overview on human biomechanics and muscular structure pertaining to athletics, common injury prevention and basic Trigger Point Performance Therapy techniques. You will learn how to use the Trigger Point Performance Therapy products to not only treat your muscles effectively but to help get rid of common overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis, sciatica, lower back pain and IT band syndrome, and also to recover better and faster from workouts.

Course Outcomes

Participants attending the four hour workshop will be introduced to the following concepts:
Methodology of Trigger Point Performance Therapy;
Myofascial Compression Techniques and Self-Myofascial Release;
Programming with the TP Massage Ball, TP Footballer, TP Quadballer;
Injury biomechanics relating to the 6 areas: Soleus, Quads, IT Band, Psoas, Piriformis, and Pectorals;
Practical application in all 6 injury areas;
Product methodology; and Testing and efficiencies in movement.
