Over 40? Injured? Trying to Stay Active?

We have developed a specialized program to prevent, and treat Boomeritis.

What is Boomeritis? Boomeritis as defined by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, refers to sports related injuries suffered by baby boomers. These injuries include bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, sprains, strains and stress fractures.

The problem:  Hip Replacements, Knee Replacements, Injections, and Surgeries, are NOT the answer.

Why? Because these types of treatments treat the end result (the broken down joint), and NOT the CAUSE of the injury.

What needs to be addressed, is why are these joints, tendons, and muscles breaking down prematurely? 

Another problem: No one is looking for, and correcting, the muscle and function imbalances with in your musculoskeletal system. 

If you are trying to stay active, and you do not find and fix your flaws, you will likely keep getting injured.

Muscle and joint imbalances cause micro trauma. A series of minor stresses to the body resulting in limited area tissue damage or tears each of which alone does not cause discernable damage.

However, their accumulation over time can lead to a significant injury. Inefficient movements cause compensations, which move a joint in an unnatural manner. The body will always sacrifice quality for quantity. Movement patterns will follow the path of least resistance.

When you stack these compensations on top of each other, screening for movement becomes essential.

Our Structural Performance Exam has been developed specifically assess your body's movement patterns, to identify and fix your fuctional movement flaws and imbalances.

How do we assess movement? Well, we break it down into these seven basic movement and stability programs. We squat. We step. We lunge. We reach. We leg raise. We push-up. And we look at rotary stability.

What the movement screen does is put people into categories and rank them. You can’t actually fix anything until you rank it and identify it.

When we find out you can’t toe touch and that also matches up with the fact that you can’t deep squat and you also have a bad active straight leg raise, we can place you in a category that allows us to then evaluate what’s going on and create a corrective strategy to address that.
