We do movement improvement with all our clients. The more we work with a client, the more we understand their movement challenges and capabilities. But it’s always good to benchmark their movement at the start. That’s why we’ll normally perform a set of movement tests before the first workout. We use a system called the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). That enables us to score their movement and helps us to understand the sort of exercises and movement patterns that might carry more risk. If you think your movement is compromised by stiffness, arthritis, old injuries, posture or confidence, we might be able to help. #personaltrainernorthampton #personaltrainer #movementimprovement #FMS #movewell

A crazy scientist once said: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." 🔬 DO NOT USE THE SAME PLAN OVER AND OVER If you’re not seeing consistent improvement over time with your coach, it’s not your coach’s fault—or yours. You might have a great coach and still be growing, but adding a tool like a sports chiropractor with a comprehensive care plan CAN and WILL ELEVATE your game significantly. Here’s why: In addition to treating sports injuries, we analyze the mechanics of how your body moves and identify what’s limiting you mobility-wise. By combining the expertise of your coach with a chiropractor, we can develop a well-rounded plan and strategy to boost your performance. Ready to take your game to the next level? Let's create a plan that works for you. 👉 Book your appointment now! #ChiropracticCare #FortCollins #FortCollinsCO #NoCoLiving #FoCo #NorthernColorado #ColoradoLife #SportsPerformance #MobilityTraining #InjuryPrevention #ElevateYourGame

Stepping back into your sport after an injury isn’t just about healing—it’s about building resilience. 🏃♂️💪 Knee stability is crucial for not just performance but also for preventing re-injuries. That’s where perturbation training comes into play. This method intentionally introduces instability during exercises, challenging your knee to adapt and grow stronger under controlled conditions. Think of it as training wheels for your recovery; it helps your body learn to maintain stability even when unexpected forces come into play. 🤾♀️ Before you lace up and get back into the game, consider seeing a physical therapist specialized in sports injuries. They can provide the necessary pushes—literally and figuratively—to ensure your knee is game-ready. They are your movement expert, there to guide your through the full rehab process. 🏋️♂️ Don’t just heal; fortify. With the right preparation and support, you can return to sport not just as good as before, but better. #KneeRecovery #PerturbationTraining #SportsTherapy #aclrecovery #aclrehab #sportspt

WALL ANGEL💪🏼 Performing a wall angel is an excellent injury prevention exercise on its own in addition to performing before pressing weight overhead. It can improve mobility, alignment, and posture. Recommendation: Perform 60 seconds - 3 times per week Stand against the wall with our feet, hips, upper back, and head in contact. Work to extend the arms directly above the shoulders while maintaining contact with the wall. Return the arms down until the hand positioning reaches outside the shoulders. Repeat. **It's important to Note that not everyone can keep arm contact with the wall due to limitations. However, it's a goal worth striving for, as it can help you fully experience the benefits of the wall angel exercise.** ~Coach Rob Destini Robinson, M.S., CSCS MOVE PERIOD Head Coach MOVE Member Cheri Conkie #moveperiod #exercise #variation #movemoments #strength #training #cardiovascular #health #wallangel #injuryprevention #posture
