Sports Performance and
Conditioning
Core conditioning
sports-specific assessments of joint range-of-motion, muscular strength,
endurance, and power based assessments upon motor patterns of a particular
sport. These assessments aid the conditioning specialist in formulating a
training program specific to the needs and addressing the weaknesses of a
particular individual. We are thoroughly educated in human physiology and
kinesiology and base their skill on a firm grasp of human biomechanics and
sports-specific motor patterns.
Golf Conditioning
Do you want to play more, hit
further, feel better, and have people ask you what you are doing? Among all
athletic activities, The Huntsville Health Team is most renowned for its
golf-specific assessment and conditioning programs. Thomas Amsden, our
Certified Golf Biomechanic, leads our golf conditioning activities. Take
advantage of our scientific approach to golf conditioning. Golfers are athletes
and like any athlete, they require well-designed conditioning programs to
excel. The physiological stress placed on the body during a golf swing are
similar to those experienced by professional hockey and football players.
Generate higher club head speed, increase your competitiveness, lower your
handicap, and eliminate injuries and back pain.
Muscle Activation
Techniques (MAT) for injuries and pain relief
Muscle Activation Techniques
(MAT) is a cutting-edge, biomechanics-based therapy, designed to correct body
alignment and to improve each client's functional capabilities while decreasing
pain levels. MAT is a systematic process of identifying muscle imbalances that
can increase the risk of injury and decrease performance. MAT balances the
body, eliminating weak links that would otherwise be reinforced with exercise.
Essentially, this system prepares the body for activities such as
rehabilitation, exercise, sports, or jobs that require a high level of physical
fitness. MAT also reduces the risk of injury by making sure that all of the
muscles in the body are functioning properly.
A MAT therapist's goal is to determine whether specific muscles that support a
particular joint have the proper ability necessary to perform their function. A
MAT therapist assesses each muscle by isolated muscle testing and evaluating
range of motion of a joint. With both of these tools, a Muscle Activation
Therapist can identify positions of instability which could be potential areas
of injury and poor performance. Currently, approximately 100 Muscle Activation
Techniques therapists exist in the world.
The end result is to not only an increase in joint motion, but increased joint
stability through the range of motion (Mobility & Stability). These
hands-on techniques can drastically improve flexibility, strength, endurance,
and control. Benefits are immediate. MAT stimulates the neuromuscular loop,
unleashing your body's natural abilities.
Personal Training
Professional training consists
of fitness instruction by a qualified personal trainer, one-on-one or in a
group setting. Depending on the specific goals of an individual, a program will
be created for a client to follow, either with the assistance of a professional
trainer, or on his or her own. It is recommended that an exercise program be
changed every 4-6 weeks by a professional trainer.
Nutrition
Transform your health with a diet and nutrition plan tailored just for you. Our personal health analysis of your blood and hair gives you the answers to your long term health. You learn what deficiencies and potential problems exist in your body and where you could benefit from additional nutritional support. From there, we develop a high quality supplement program that will get you feeling and preforming at your peak. We use nutrition to heal the body and support optimal function instead of using drugs to mask symptoms while the body continues to degenerate.
