What is PREHABILITATION?

“PREHAB” is used to CORRECT the body and PREPARE the body to perform. Our JOINTS and MUSCLE TISSUES have specific MOVEMENTS to achieve. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL and ATHLETES perform repetitive movements and this leads to OVERUSE and MUSCULAR IMBALANCES. In order to successfully REDUCE INJURY and IMPROVE PERFORMANCE,  PREHAB should be performed prior to activity. “PREHAB” in its entirety consists of 5 steps:

1.     Foam rolling

2.     Static stretching

3.     Muscle activation/hip, core, shoulder strengthening

4.     Mobility drills

5.     Dynamic Movement

What are the benefits of “PREHAB”?

            ·       Prepares the body for movement

·       Boosts the HEART RATE

·       BLOOD FLOW to muscles

·      INCREASES core temperature

·       Improves function of NERVOUS system

·       Improves MOBILITY, FLEXIBILITY, and STABILITY

·       Increase speed and power output by nearly 20 percent compared to static stretching

·       ACTIVATE and STABILIZE all the tiny muscles that help hold the joints together

·       Improve POSTURE, ALIGNMENT, and PERFORMANCE

·       Decrease potential for injury

·       Strengthen hips, core, and shoulder

·       More efficient joint movement

·       Strengthen the body to optimize mobility, balance, stability, and joint function

·       Addresses muscular imbalances

·       Build CORE STABILITY to protect your back

·      PREVENT lower back injuries, shoulder joint problems, and hamstring pulls
