Why do we screen?

Functional screening is used for athletes to assess their movement patterns and identify any potential imbalances, weaknesses, or restrictions that could lead to injury or hinder performance. The primary goal is to pinpoint areas where an athlete may be at risk for injury due to poor movement mechanics, and to develop a plan to correct those deficiencies before they lead to more serious issues. By evaluating movements like squatting, lunging, single leg stance, and rotating, coaches and trainers can understand how an athlete moves in relation to their body’s range of motion and stability. This allows for targeted corrective exercises, improving posture, mobility, flexibility, and strength in the right areas. Our program helps in developing individualized training programs that can enhance performance while minimizing the risk of injury. In addition to injury prevention, screening can be useful for tracking progress over time, as improvements in movement quality often correlate with better athletic performance and overall fitness. So, it’s not just about identifying problems—it’s also about creating a foundation for better movement, recovery, and performance in sports.

What is the difference between the screens and which one would be the most beneficial for me?

The missing link in many gyms is that athletes are not screened, and their training programs are not tailored to address their individual limitations. An athlete's movement patterns serve as their foundation, so it's important to build from the ground up with a stable base. It's like building a house—why construct it on an unstable foundation when you can establish a solid one first? Athletes can certainly benefit from training programs, but unless their specific limitations are addressed, both their injury rates and performance will be negatively impacted. Injuries can lead to missed practice and game time, something no athlete or coach wants. Research shows that athletes gain greater benefits from a training program that focuses on improving movement patterns. When power, strength, speed, and acceleration are added on top of a strong foundation, the results are more effective and sustainable.

​How long are the training packages?

The cost of personal training packages typically depends on your schedule and the amount of time available for training. Most packages are designed for at least 3 months, with a common range of 36 to 48 total sessions over 12 weeks, which translates to 3 to 4 sessions per week.

​What is the process for signing up for a screening package or training package?

​The participant needs to fill out the Basic Intake Form, Health History Questionnaire, and the Waiver upon signing up.

​How does the training package work?

​The athlete will be movement screened and a pretest of acceleration, change of direction, power, absolute strength, and relative strength. Each visit will typically last for 60  to 75 minutes long. Then at the end of the training package, the athlete will be retested in the same tests that were completed during the pretest.
