Strength training : for Life AND Sport

Strength training for your joint health is important. Having healthy joints will allow you to #DOanything. Whether its to play a sport or spend time with your family, a mobility and strength, program will help you to achieve that. Involving a clinician AND strength coach will help you transition you off treatment table.

What is strength training?

Typically, my practice starts by having the joints functioning at a normal level. Once this is achieved, we can begin strength training, to your muscles, tendons and ligaments. This can involve using both internal and external loading. Internal loading can be done by teaching you how to irritate your own musculature within a range of motion. External loading involves adding a band, dumbbell or your OWN body weight. Both of these types will teach your nervous system to control your joints while simultaneously increasing tissue capacity.

Does your health care team involve a strength coach?

If the answer is no, its simple to ask for one. Talk with your general practitioner, Physiotherapist or Chiropractor. They should be able to recommend one who can help you achieve your goals. In my practice, we typically involve one as soon as possible. As you become less dependent on a clinician, its best you have the skills to improve the strength of your joints. A coach will be able to gradually increase your training so that your joints become strong and resilient.

Feel free to ask me to recommend one.
