Whether you play golf or not, keeping the body flexible and strong is vitally important to longevity and quality of life.

POSTURE CORRECTIVES APPROACH

Correctives are specific exercises we subscribe for, not only posture but any muscle imbalance or asymmetry, no matter what the cause. All of us are fighting gravity, plus there may be many other contributing factors causing faulty movement patterns such as lifestyle, sitting, illness, injury, and or surgery. The body works as one unit and if a single part of the link is overworking or under working, then movement and range of motion is affected. The body’s natural tendency to adapt and automatically go to the path of least resistance causes compensation and distortion to take over. Unless there is intervention or prevention, eventually the weak link will break and show up as pain or injury. Therefore, we all have to include correctives in our life forever.

A common example is the rotator cuff. 17 muscles are connected to the shoulder blade and when we sit or hunch over a computer, the muscles in the back shut down either due to lack of use or constant use. The muscles in the front tighten and shorten all leading to weakness. Of course, the core and pelvic orientation have everything to do with our posture, so we always look at that functionality and have many ways to address weakness and malalignment. Left unaddressed, dysfunction here can manifest in many ways and not necessarily where the pain is emanating. Figuring out what and where is the root cause, is our mission. The good news is that many issues can be prevented if caught in time. The key is to start at your current level and progress safely and efficiently from there. This is why our philosophy is the posture correctives approach. Having a solid foundation is critical for movement efficiency.

INBODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

TAKE FITNESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The InBody composition analysis accurately measures your body composition in less than 45 seconds and prints out a results sheet which lists out your body composition components, tracking your progress over time.

Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body composition, generally known as your body muscle, fat, and water. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body. Body composition analysis is the key to tracking and maintaining effective weight loss. Lose weight smarter, healthier, and happier like never before.

Ditch the scale. Your weight is made up of muscle, fat, and water. The key to effective weight loss is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight. Weight loss is not the same as fat loss. Instead of tracking how heavy you are, use body composition analysis to track how healthy you really are.

InBody Testing shows you key components of your health like your:

• Skeletal Muscle Mass

• Percent Body Fat

• Body Fat Mass

• Basal Metabolic Rate

• Visceral Fat Level and more!

Take your InBody Test every 2 to 4 weeks to continuously monitor and improve your weight loss. See how body composition analysis can help you lose weight smarter and more effectively.
