Workshop Outline:
1) INTRODUCTION AND FOUNDATION
Dysfunctional movement is often linked to pain and increased risk of injury. Our training program is designed to improve movement patterns to both enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.
We achieve this by incorporating corrective and preventative exercises to retrain dysfunctional movement patterns with high-quality movement patterns focused on improving flexibility, stability, mobility, as well as healing existing injuries.
2) BREATH, POSTURE AND DESKBOUND STRETCHES
Learn what optimal desk posture looks like, introduction to proper breathing posture and technique, and improve diaphragmatic (belly) breathing.
3) JOINT MOBILITY EXERCISES (UPPER AND LOWER BODY)
Gain range of motion and improve the ability of a joint to move freely without impingement or pain. Both upper and lower body exercises are included.
4) DESKBOUND ACTIVATION EXERCISES (UPPER AND LOWER BODY)
Work through exercises that build endurance for those muscles that help support our posture over the course of a workday. Both upper and lower body exercises are included.
