Core Stability Training

Core Stability training is extremely important for optimal performance, aesthetics and movement. All our clients are prescribed a core conditioning program based on their assessment and needs. We folloow this template to ensure your safe and effective progression:

Static Core, Static Extremity – This is to ensure you learn how how to recruit the core and stay stable

Static Core, Dynamic Extremity – In this progression, we begin moving the extremities while maintaining a stable spine

Dynamic Core, Static Extremity – This involves moving the trunk while keeping the extremities relatively fixed

Dynamic Core, Dynamic Extremity – This is full functional movement!

Customized Nutrition Program

We realize that everybody we work with is unique. For this reason, we provide our clients with nutrition programs, recommending foods that are catered for their own unique biochemistry. Some people are better suited to a more vegetarian diet, while others will fare better on a diet that includes more meat. In this program, we also look at optimizing your hormonal profiles with diet and lifestyle factors.
