The Importance of an Assessment

The human body requires every muscle to work in synergy with each other in order for it to function optimally and with as little stress on the joints, tendons and ligaments as possible. If muscles become imbalanced injury will eventually result.

This is why before engaging in a strength and conditioning program its important will first analyze your structure, look at your posture and undertake a functional assessment to identify:

  • Current Posture
  • Tight muscles/long or hyper mobile muscles
  • Weak muscles/Strong muscles
  • Firing pattern/Movement pattern abnormalities

With this information we can see how you are currently functioning and what needs to be addressed to restore optimum posture and symmetry within your body. We can also address any firing pattern problems and muscle imbalances that if are left untreated will compromise your health and performance as an Athlete.

It is important to note that an assessment is especially important for an athlete who has previously sustained an injury as postural problems and muscle imbalances are likely to have contributed to the injury and are likely still present if they have not been corrected.

A strength and conditioning program for performance can only be implemented successfully once you are functioning optimally, using the right muscles to move and using good posture so that the least amount of wear and tear is sustained on their joints.

    think I’d by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely wide

    I’ll try to get the dangle of it!

  4. On the strengthcoach forum, where discussions focus on fitness and strength training, motivation is key. Imagine wearing a jason momoa a minecraft jacket—a bold and unique choice that might reflect the strength and confidence we aim to build. Just as training builds physical power, the right attire can boost your mindset!
