The assessment:
There are parts of our body which are particularly susceptible to dysfunction because a) they are relatively recent adaptations to allow humans to stand up right and b) they are particularly effected by our less active and unnatural lifestyles, e.g. tightened hip flexors and lack of mobility in the spine. You will have an initial “dynamic” assessment to identify any weak areas you may have and will be given stretches, exercises and tips on how to move in more efficient ways. The results may be the disappearance of headaches, back pain and other pains, resilience to injury and an improvement in sports performance.
Standing & walking awareness:
Correcting this will shape the structure of the body as it is the predominant physiological input from movement (the seated posture aside...).
Circuit training:
Fantastic for range of movement, agility, speed and intensity.
Running and swimming:
Activities that help you measure performance – in the longer courses you will get the chance to repeat activities and improve your times.
Sailing, canoeing, volleyball and games:
All these activities are great fun – it’s so important to remember that going to the gym is not the only way to be active!
Snorkelling, adventure races, long-distance swimming:
Adventure and exploration were vital parts of our evolutionary heritage – movement was usually purposeful, we didn’t run around in circles (or on the spot!) for the sake of it.
