Mobility Training

The Stretch Better, Recover Better, Move Better, Private Mobility Class

Mobility Training Sessions:

• Analyze: Test for fault patterns with Functional Movement Systems, Y-Balance Testing, Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), and Mobility WOD,
• Strengthen: Target and correct muscle patterns.  We use isometrics and corrective exercises to facilitate this style of training.  We also employ Rocktape and kinetic taping to improve muscle engagement.  We formulate client-specific corrective exercises to help you build strength safely.
• Mobilize: Unlock range of motion with joint distraction, scraping, and flossing (Voodoo Bands, etc.)
• Stretch: Stretch using various techniques such as contract and release, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, FRC, Kinstretch, and various forms of Yoga

Physical Therapy vs Mobility Training

Physical Therapists are an excellent resource for training many of the above conditions. We are not physical therapists and we do not take insurance. We do not use any type of manual therapy techniques (like massage, acupuncture, etc.)

Rather, we take a wholesome approach and work on restoring the mind-muscle connection to decrease your pain. We utilize corrective exercise, specialized stretching, and self-guided myofascial release techniques to help you move better. Mobility Training is excellent for reducing pain, improving range of motion & flexibility, and building strength to prevent future injuries. With the right exercises and stretches, you’ll be able to move and perform better than ever before.

The Benefits of Increasing Mobility and Flexibility Exercise

Being fit means a lot of different things for different people — from being able to run a mile without stopping to being able to touch your toes, there are a lot of different levels of fitness. But one thing all people should work on is increasing their range of motion. Improving flexibility and strength is beneficial for people at all levels of fitness.

Looking to Improve Your Mobility through Corrective Exercise?

With the Sand & Steel Fitness Mobility and Muscle Therapy program, you’ll work with a personal trainer to not only improve your range of motion, but to reduce pain and strengthen your muscles. Working on your general mobility helps you move better, which can help loosen tight muscles. If you have tight, unused muscles, your joints can actually move into incorrect positions, causing further problems. And everyone can benefit from strengthening their muscles to allow them to move better and easier. So if you’re looking for a program that is focused on your wellbeing as a whole, consider our mobility program to better your overall health.

Test, Correct, and Retest

In Mobility Training, we’ll find where you are tight or your strength is limited and help you improve your range of motion.  Mobility Training helps corrects biomechanical weaknesses that lead to injury.  Through corrective exercise and partner stretching, we improve your stability, improve your range of motion, and repair your mind-muscle connection.

Tight Muscles Pull Joints into a Compromised Position.
Weak Muscles Allow Joints to Move into a Comprised Position.

In Mobility Training, we build you a mobility map and corrective exercise strategy to get your body moving better.  Whether it’s muscle pain in your neck, IT Band Pain from running, or lack of shoulder mobility from an injury, I’m going to help you move better.  Mobility is so much more than correcting movement or improving flexibility … it’s mobilizing stuck joint capsules, repairing sliding surface tension in your fascia, and helping your body move and perform better.

Improvements in Strength and Weight Loss Begin and End with Better Movement.

Breaking Down the Magic of Mobility

Every Injury is Important. Every Body Move Differently. Everyone has a different history. Yet, different as we are, all of us are designed to move the same way.  Having worked with over 1000 members over the past 10 years, coach Paul has boiled down his formula for helping you move better.

The Magic Of Mobility 5 Step Process

1 Address the Complaint:

All Mobility TuneUp Sessions start with a conversation.  Where does it hurt?  How Does it Hurt?  When does it hurt?

2 Find an Exercise or Pattern:

Find an exercise or pattern:

• with limited motion;
• that causes some pain;
• that has less strength; or
• that has less control.

3 Observe the Movement Fault:

Test and evaluate all the surrounding tissues up and down the chain of movement.

For example, does the right side of your neck hurt?  We might:

• Check your pec minor for tightness;
• Check your triceps for weakness;
• Check your serratus for motor limitation.

4 Treat the Most Likely Suspect:

We treat the most likely suspect.  If it’s weak, we strengthen it.  If it’s down-regulated, we activate it.  If it’s tight, we stretch-it or mobilize it.

5 Retest your Pattern:

Does pain decrease?  Does the range of motion increase?  Does your form look better.  Do you have more control?  If it gets better, we do more of the same.  If it gets worse, try a different technique or go to your secondary suspect.
