Running

I started working out at ATC to focus on the weak areas of my body that were giving me trouble in my running. After completing a Functional Movement Screen, they were able to tell me what areas were weak and my risk of injury based on my score.

ATC has a unique way of training.

My training was very beneficial in lengthening, activating and strengthening my weak areas and was very specific to running and not only did I run a PR but this has been my best recovery EVER. One of the tools they used with me was the Power Plate which can be used for recovery regeneration to get blood flowing through the tissue helping to recover quicker. I have done recovery regeneration on the Power Plate multiple times since the race and I feel GREAT! Catherine

Joint by Joint Approach to Training

At Acceleration Training Concepts, once a Functional MovementScreen has beencompleted, we then take a joint by joint approach,looking at specific issues to determine if they are related to soft tissues (muscles) or if joint restriction is a factor (ankle, hips and thoracic-spine).

	The Essential 8 - Mobility Drills Everyone Should Do! We put mobility before stability. Starting your training session without performing soft tissue exercises (inhibit, lengthen, and mobilize), you will be adding, what we call, fitness on a dysfunction.
	What's the Big Deal About Pronation? The first link in the kinetic chain is thefoot and ankle. Issues in this area such as pronation,can cause potential compensation patterns thatmove up the chain to the knees, hips and back.
	Anterior Knee Pain? If you think your knee pain is coming from your knee, you might want to think again. Knee pain can be caused by issues above or below the knee joint. The source of knee pain can be located at the foot, ankle or hip.
	Ankle Mobility Drills Using the Tri-Stretch A stiff ankle joint can lead to knee, hip and or back pain. Here are some great solutions for mobilizing the ankle joint.
	Rectus Femoris - What You Need to Know A common issue with runners can be a tight rectus femoris which can lead to knee and back pain. This research article shows some ways to stretch the rectus femoris.
