Balance Bodies for Improved Performance and Injury Prevention with Alfred Ball

 

Workshop Description:

 

Many clients come to you with postural faults that put them at risk for injury during specific exercises. Our clients’ bodies have become imbalanced through work, daily activities and sports. Some muscles may be short and strong, weak and long or short and contracted. Imbalanced muscles work harder and fatigue faster.  Is a ‘tight’ feeling muscle actually short? Too often we choose exercises, stretches and activities that make these imbalances even worse.

 

In this revolutionary workshop learn how to identify common postural faults and ways to correct them using cutting edge stretching techniques and specific stabilizing exercises. This new knowledge will amaze your clients and keep them coming back for more.

 

Learning Objectives:

 

- Differentiate between short and strong, weak and long and short and contracted muscles.

- Identify Key Postural Muscle Imbalances to learn how they affect joint function.

- Answer the question “Should I stretch a tight feeling muscle?”

- Learn to help your clients achieve lasting changes in flexibility
