Balance exercises can train and strengthen your neuromuscular system and increase your stability. Balance also helps you move more efficiently for improved performance in fitness, tasks and injury prevention. Good balance is vital in reducing the chances of falling.
Walking is our most basic method of transportation. The inability to walk normally due to an injury or pain, can drastically change a person's life. It can impact our independence and also create significant health problems over both short and long periods. Gait analysis is mainly visual; observing a person as they walk and noting their center of force, step time, swing time, stride length including width, force & weight distribution.
Core stability enables one to control their body's position, generate optimum power and helps prevent the spine from bending or flexing unintentionally. By stabilizing the core, one's able to maximize strength in arms and legs, enhance sports performance and making everyday activities easier.
Flexibility includes the movements or positions designed to stretch specific muscles with the goal of increasing range of motion, and lengthening your muscles & joints. This supports many sports, exercises and activities.
Proper posture can help develop more strength and flexibility in fitness and daily activities while also leading to less muscle pain and more energy. Improving body alignment can help prevent excess strain on joints, muscles & vital organs. Good posture may improve overall health since the spine has a much better chance to remain straighter & taller throughout the duration of your life.
Strength training & building muscle mass can enhance endurance and cardiovascular health in sports, fitness and daily tasks & activities. Strength exercises help manage or lose weight and maintain the ability to slow down the rate of bone and muscle loss associated with aging.
Cardiovascular exercise is any vigorous activity that increases heart rate and respiration while improving both the function and performance of your heart, lungs and circulatory system. When consistently challenged with ongoing training, this vital internal life support network will reap benefits.
Endurance refers to a body's physical capability to sustain an exercise or daily activity for an extended period of time. It has two components: cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of your heart and lungs to fuel the body with oxygen and muscular endurance is when muscles have enough strength to support the sport or activity.
Self-Confidence is a positive attitude about one's skills and abilities. It means to accept and trust that one has a sense of control over life. This is important for all ages and stages of life.
Weight management is critical in helping achieve and improve the quality of life with a heightened sense of confidence and better physical, emotional & mental health. Living life at an unhealthy weight will have a profound affect on your wellness. Losing weight is one of the easiest ways to gain better health. When you reach and/or maintain a healthy weight one can enhance longevity and improve overall well-being.
