Muscle/Body Blast

With Manuel Velazquez
The plan is to effectively connect multi-joint basic movement patterns with multi-plannar movement action. Lower body movement sequences set the base for dynamic stability. Upper body movement sequences set the base for controlled mobility. Basic tools like weighted bars, hand weights and/or med balls will add and additional challenge for a blast of muscle engagement, inclusion and exertion. Meanwhile, core muscles connect both parts into a big BLAST multidirectional movement challenge.

TriggerPoint™ – Hip and Shoulder Mobility

With Brandon Wagner
The hips and shoulders are the most mobile joints in the body, but they often lock-up creating improper movement patterns and injuries. Normal functional activities, such as walking, require extension, exion, and rotation of the hips and shoulders. If this can’t occur, the nervous system alters the movement pattern. Learn to quickly identify these patterns and properly address with self- myofascial release. This advanced approach creates the myofascial relationships necessary to optimize movement, prevent injury and enable the body to perform optimally.
