PREHAB
Your prehabilitation program is deeply rooted in a comprehensive understanding of the intricate biomechanical demands inherent in diverse activities. The meticulous assessment and preparation of the body for specific biomechanical demands across different sports or daily activities play a pivotal role in injury prevention and performance enhancement.
​
Through a thorough analysis of essential parameters such as range of motion, strength, power, flexibility, agility, and environmental considerations, we analyze the dynamic complexity of human movement. Tailoring prehabilitation programs to address the unique demands of each sport or activity becomes paramount in optimizing individual performance while minimizing injury risk.
​
The emphasis on unwinding or facilitating activity-specific movement patterns underscores a crucial insight. Unattended movement limitations or compensations can significantly impair an individual's optimal performance, potentially leading to overuse injuries.
​
Your scientifically grounded prehabilitation programs, draw from extensive knowledge bases in kinesiology, exercise physiology, applied biomechanics, and applied functional science. This methodology aligns with the core principle of identifying and addressing the root cause of potential issues rather than merely treating symptoms.
​
Empowering individuals to adapt and exhibit versatility in their movements not only enhances performance but also ensures a healthier, safer, and more sustainable approach to sports and daily activities. The outcomes are characterized by measurability and sustainability, indicative of a scientifically informed and personalized prehabilitation strategy.
ASSESSMENT
The axiom "If you are not assessing, then you are guessing" encapsulates the imperative nature of precise evaluation in optimizing athletic performance and individual health. Precision is paramount; a comprehensive comprehension of an athlete's or individual's functional movement patterns, specific to their activity or sport, furnishes the groundwork for a sophisticated Prehab roadmap. A detailed assessment is critical to an effective Prehab Program. The Three-Dimensional Movement Analysis & Performance System (3DMAPS) assessment meets these demands.
​
The Three-Dimensional Movement Analysis & Performance System (3DMAPS) assesses:
• 66 Tri-Plane Joint Motions
• Biomechanics of Primary Body Complexes
• Mobility Analysis Movements
• 6 Vital Transformational Zones
• Stability Analysis Movements
• 6 Chain Reactions®
• Three-Dimensional Interaction of Joints, Muscles, and Proprioceptors
• Range of Motion / Shape of Analysis Movements
• Control of Motion / Quality
​
This scientific roadmap delineates the intricacies of achieving versatility across various dimensions, encompassing heightened mobility, augmented strength, refined balance, amplified power, pain reduction, overuse injury prevention, and enhanced efficiency and athleticism. The precision afforded by systematic assessment becomes integral in tailoring interventions that address specific biomechanical nuances, ensuring a targeted and effective approach to health optimization for athletes and individuals alike.
TRAINING
Prehabilitation (Prehab) functional training programs offer a nuanced approach by concurrently augmenting training efficacy and mitigating injury risks. These programs, intricately designed based on the functional biomechanics of targeted sports and activities, leverage meticulous 3DMAPS Analysis to emulate activity-specific demands precisely.
​
A comprehensive Prehab regimen strategically incorporates foundational movements that intricately engage the entire neuro-musculoskeletal system. This intricate engagement is designed to adeptly manage loading dynamics and facilitate explosive force generation. The assimilation of body resources cultivated through foundational and sport-specific movements into "skill-focused" training sessions underscores the program's sophistication.
​
Refinement of parameters such as repetitions, movement velocity, and load variables in Prehab training is intricately tailored to align with the nuanced goals of individual clients. These principles, synergistically interfacing with the neuro-musculoskeletal Chain Reaction™ biomechanics, form a robust conceptual framework guiding precise decision-making strategies.
​
A judiciously formulated Prehab program transcends its role as a mere performance enhancer; it serves as a proactive measure in injury reduction. Recognizing the symbiotic relationship between effective training and injury mitigation, an individualized Prehab Program is pivotal in devising a meticulous practice plan and warm-up protocol. Its systematic implementation not only forestalls overuse injuries but also systematically propels individuals to realize their utmost athletic potential through meticulous practice and refined movement mechanics.
