What is Functional Training?
Functional training allows you the freedom to define your own movement patterns based on your own needs and goals. For example, the golfer, football or builder would gain benefits from rotational exercises rather than exercising on the one plane of motion.
We live in a three dimensional world where our bodies push, pull, bend, lift and twist through various planes of motions in both sport and our daily activities.
Functional training enhances the coordinated working relationships between the nervous and muscular systems. Your muscles are designed to work together synergistically to create a fluid and coordinated movements in a three dimensional environment, and as such, it makes sense to train them in this way.
A functional exercise will utilise reflex response to:
• Maintain balance
• Force the body to maintain a centre of gravity
• High carry-over into work, sport and everyday activities
Train Movements - Not Muscles!
With functional training, the control of movement is as essential as training the muscles involved in the movement. The vast majority of daily tasks we do don’t comply with the fixed movements of machines, and training in a supported position removes the need of balance and will not teach the muscles to work together as a team, as required in our daily life and sporting activities.
Most of our daily tasks involve ‘free weights’. such as carrying the groceries or lifting up a child etc. Using free weights and cables in your program creates greater specificity of training, strengthens the muscles that keep you back healthy and hold you body upright and improves your balance known as your ‘core muscular’.
Functional training also integrates the senses (visual, auditory and proprioceptive) combined with motor function, this is referred to as neuromuscular coordination.
If nothing else Functional Training is fun, exciting and both mentally and physically stimulating.
The Corrective Exercise and Personal Training Studio has been specifically designed with equipment to enhance all areas of functional training and to assist you in improving you activities of daily life and sport.
Corrective Exercise
Corrective exercise assists with developing and improving the following:
• Increasing core stability which allows muscles to work in an efficient and coordinated fashion to help maintain correct alignment of the spine and pelvis assisting with back care and posture
• Pelvic floor muscles. Due to the increased load and stress placed on the pelvic floor through pregnancy, muscles can weaken causing discomfort, and incontinence maybe experienced
• Falls prevention program, improving strength, balance, gait, flexibility and coordination
• Bone density, which reduces the risk of Osteoporosis. From the age of 35 years, we lose up to 1% of bone mass per year and increases rapidly after menopause.
I am happy to work alongside your existing health care professional in order to maximise your gains. If an initial assessment suggests further investigation is required, I will refer you on to the appropriate health care provider.
