CORE-FLEX ATHLETIC CONDITIONING
Reducing Injuries.
Prolonging Careers.
Enhancing Performance.

Picture
​Core-Flex Athletic Conditioning is a PILATES based method improving MOBILITY, CORE STABILITY, FLEXIBILITY. 
This is a ‘flexible strength’ workout, focused on the pliability of muscles, while maintaining their explosive contractile ability needed for sport.  Improved mobility at all joints allows for greater range of motion, a well functioning kinetic chain, and increased ability to produce power. 

CoreFlex training is a smart maintenance system addressing points of pain & tightness, imbalances from repetitive sport biomechanics, and dysfunctional movement patterns. 
​
Stay Healthy...Stay In The Game.

​*REDUCE PAIN, MUSCULAR IMBALANCES, AND EXCESSIVE TIGHTNESS

*IMPROVE PERFORMANCE THROUGH INCREASED STABILITY, MOBILITY, AND CORE POWER 
​
*BALANCE HIGH INTENSITY SPORT AND TRAINING - PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY

*TRAIN SMARTER NOT HARDER - RECOVERY WORKOUTS ALLOW FOR TISSUE REPAIR AND ADAPTATION TO OCCUR
Picture

THE ABOVE GOALS ARE ACHIEVED BY TRAINING:
-Healthy range of motion at all joints from neck to toes, knowing lack of mobility at one joint will affect function of adjacent joints

-Improved flexibility in excessively tight muscles that are causing imbalance and compensations within the body (can lead to pain/injury)

-Strengthening of the deep core as well as superficial muscles, that may be dysfunctional or not participating well in movement/stability.

-Creating more efficient neuromuscular patterns through movement training initiated from the CORE

-Attention to the global view of the body's tissues and systems beyond muscle and bone.  

Core-Flex Athletic Conditioning creates a healthy length-strength balance in muscles, allows freedom of movement in the joints, builds awareness of true core engagement, and improves fundamental movement patterns with strength, coordination, & pliability.
