Essential Strength

The human body is made up of trillions of individual cells. Each of those cells is organized within the body's systems to fulfill a specific function. The main job of these systems is to keep the body alive. Effective communication among the systems is vital if the body is to have the understanding of its internal and external environments necessary to create harmony and collaboration towards a goal.
Many training programs focus on the musculoskeletal system and the respiratory system, but ignore the most vital system - The Nervous System. The nervous system governs the other systems and acts as the messenger between systems and is the interface with the brain. Our programs are unique because they focus on improving the organizational skills of the nervous system; allowing each individual cell to work towards a common goal, that goal being the performance (or health) goal of your choosing.

 

OUR PROGRAMS ARE UNIQUE, AND OUR RESULTS ARE AMAZING.

 

 

An effective training program must focus on improving the body’s internal communication, or, in other terms, proprioceptive enhancement. A dynamic joint mobility practice improves the functioning of the proprioceptive system by reminding the body of the location of all of its parts and allows it to feel comfortable moving those parts through their entire range of motion.

One on One Coaching
One on one coaching is our most comprehensive health and performance program tailored to the goals and needs of the athlete. This is the most effective and efficient way to experience your full health and power. The program focuses on the 9S Model of Health and Performance.

 

This is an athlete centered program. At any given moment one or more of the S's is not being optimized and therefore hampering performance or progress.

The 9 S's are:

• Speed - Of reaction and decision making
• Strength - To endure and overcome
• Suppleness - Mobility and flexibility
• Stamina - Endurance / work capacity
• Spirit - Desire and motivation to achieve    
• Skill - Of manipulating movement / center of gravity
• Structure - Body mapping, tissue release, and scar work
• Style - Personality 
• Sustenance - Nutrition for performance and rehabilitation

 

One-on-One Coaching teaches athletes to be aware of which of these areas are not being optimized and teaches drills to enhance each area. This program provides reprogramming and regeneration at its finest. Enroll here.

Sports Vision Coaching
The best athletes on the field or the court is said to have "great vision"; indeed vision is much more that 20/20 eyesight. Visual skill is the ability to take external cues from the environment, processes those cues, and makes effective decisions to produce a goal orientated action. Vision is a skill. You have no vision at birth. Since it is a skill, it is trainable. Do not allow this extremely powerful and often overlooked program to pass you by. Vision skills include:

 

• Focus Flexibility - the ability to focus on different points in space, for instance from near too far, quickly.
• Peripheral Awareness - pick out teammates and defenders around the court
• Dynamic visual acuity - the ability to keep your eye on the ball, no matter how fast it is moving
• Depth Perception - maintain special awareness and the distance between yourself and other objects in the environment or on the field. 
• Hand-Eye / Hand-Foot Coordination - the ability to interpret visual and put yourself in a position of advantage, crucial in a multitude of events.

 

The Sports Vision Program is delivered on the field or court, or in our custom vision lab. Vision training is not just for competitive athletes. Deteriorating visual skills are one of the leading causes of movement and health problems in aging populations creating such problems as:

 

• Postural Imbalances
• Loss of Balance and / or Coordination
• Increased Stress and Anxiety
• Memory Problems
• Increased Aches and Pains.

The Essential Strength Corporate Project
An overwhelming majority of the athletes that we train are what we call "desk athletes". They spend the majority of their day in the office, in the car, in the warehouse, on sales calls, and in front of computers. Their careers ask them to sustain positions for long periods of time and put repetitive strain on certain movements and postures. Office environments place an entire set of stressors on athletes humans have not exactly evolved to encounter. 

The Corporate Project offers movement skill training in the positions that employees spend the most time in. The training includes:

 

• Strategies to relieve repetitive stress injuries
• Strategies to relieve postural imbalances caused by long bouts of sitting or standing
• Ergonomic workspace design
• Team building program 

 

Employers, you cannot afford to lose precious manpower hours to employees who are hurt, stiff, sore, sour, or otherwise unhealthy; not to mention resources devoted to treat the symptoms of poor movement. Address the problem at its source. Give your employees the gift of true health; they will love you for it. Create your project here.
