DEVELOPING THE COMPLETE CORE

THE CORE it’s NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK.

The CORE is not simply your abs but a complex region that connects the hips, pelvis and spine from the head to the pelvis. The CORE is pivotal in force transfer, speed, power, sport specific skill and of course sport performance. Likewise when the CORE doesn’t function properly injury risk to the hip, low back, groin (AKA the HIP TRIAD) and throughout the body (knee, ankle, shoulder) increases significantly.

It is well appreciated by (industries) that the core is critical to injury risk and sport performance. Operationalizing or assessing the core is poorly done. That’s because the CORE is more than just how many sit-ups you can do, or how long you can plank.

The CORE as we define it involves 6 major qualities. Each quality need to be assessed individually, but also as a whole to properly assess the CORE. We call this the CORE PROFILE – using use advanced technology, data analytics and cutting edge sport science research to ….

Guess work when it comes to health doesn’t work. Systems, processes, and transparent guidelines help focus everyone’s efforts on the things that matter.

If the chart is understood – symptom free function determines play. That’s why we make sure everyone understand the game plan we are using.

The problem doesn’t disappear when the athlete is symptom-free. Development of the COMPLETE HIP is absolutely essential for injury prevention and performance.

SHARING KNOWLEDGE, TRADE SECRETS AND STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE HIP FUNCTION AND TO BUILD BETTER ATHLETES*

Our goal is to help athletes*, teams, coaches and families develop powerful hips in part by sharing research knowledge, exercise details, and key strategies. We hope you enjoy these posts filled with knowledge bombs and secrets.
