Seminars, Workshop, and Class Information

For the past 35 years I have been training competitive athletes, recreation weekend athletes, youth league athletes, white collar workers, blue collar workers, stay at home moms, and the list goes on. The common denominator is that we all have some sort asymmetry/muscle imbalance due to work environment, sports environment, previous injuries, or direct trauma to the bodily system. On a scale of 1-10( 10 is the worst) how well do we manage these asymmetrical imbalances?

When these imbalances are not addressed it can lead to a serious diseased type of process such as arthritis, tendonitis, muscle/bone degeneration, debilitating pain, poor posture, and poor functional physical movement patterns. In spite of these maladies that are slowly occurring many of us are extensively involved in strength/conditioning programs and fitness programs that on the surface are good for the fully able person, however, if one has creeping physical asymmetries that are occurring-certain weightlifting, body weight, cardio, and speed exercise programs can be contributing to the debilitating process.

Typical Questions:

• My back severely hurts within 24 hours after working out. What am I doing wrong?

• The knees are not functioning like they use to. How can I strengthen them?

• As an athlete I feel very strong in the weight room but my ability to move on the field is below average. How can I improve my mobility and improve my athletic performance?

• I go to the gym 3 days/week and train like a beast, yet when I perform simple daily functional tasks I cannot move well without experiencing pain somewhere in my body. I need help. What do you recommend?

Do any of the aforementioned questions apply to you, to a loved one, co-worker, or personal friend? Innovative Sports Training now offers the Function Movement Screen(FMS) evaluative system used by world renowned personal trainers, physical therapists, collegiate strength/conditioning coaches, NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL strength coaches, chiropractors, and Olympic coaches.

Hot Spot Areas that are normally adversely affected:

• Neck

• Shoulders

• Lower back

• Knees

Unless there is heavy direct trauma to any of the aforementioned areas pain typically does not evolve from these specific locations, it evolves from surrounding areas that are being compromised due to lack of mobility and/or stability and the pain is referred to these 4 main areas.

We have to find the weak links in the kinetic chain. One little pebble tossed in very silent pond can cause hundreds of unhealthy ripples.

How Does it Work?

You will be evaluated on 6 basic movement patterns that will take about 20-30 minutes of your time. Based on the screening results you will be emailed a suggested corrective exercise program that will address any asymmetry or imbalance that is found during the screening. The corrective exercises are not meant to be a long time replacement for conventional strength, fitness, and/or sports training programs, however, they are supplemented into the programs to reverse or lessen the burden of asymmetries that may be regressing your performance and/or ability to function.

Cost?

• Initial 20-30 minute session plus program design is $100

• Follow up sessions with program design is $70

• Ask about family, group, or team prices.

What others have said about the FMS Program

Since I have been using it I have had great success with my athletes. They move better and feel more balanced. Using your techniques I have been able to clear up a lot of trouble spots and help a ton of athletes. Just by balancing a kid out and doing the proper corrective exercises he was able to increase the speed on his fastball by 5 mph.”

Mark Shropshire - Exercise and Sport Physiologist

“The Functional Movement Screen has allowed me to observe problematic movement patterns and have viable solutions to correct/improve them. It allows the conditioning specialist an opportunity to get an accurate snapshot of our clients to develop an individualized

program design…to access and address.”

Sean Armistead - President/Owner of Phenomenal Fitness, Chicago, IL

“As a Tae Kwon Do and RKC Kettlebell instructor, the FMS has help me personally improve my ability to properly perform techniques as well as improving my clients. In the past I was stumped and frustrated by those clients that seemed uncoachable when it

came to improving certain movements or techniques. The FMS has given me the insight to recognize bad movement patterns and the tools to objectively rank and improve movement quality. Knowing the 'why,' 'when' and 'how' of incorporating correctives and increasingly

difficult exercise progressions into my private and group sessions has produced pain-free, efficient athletes with beautiful movement regardless of the activity. Thanks to the FMS system, I have been able to improve the performance of 'difficult' clients even

when other more credentialed professionals could not.”
