I’m a professional golfer on the PGA Tour and have worked with Andy as my personal trainer for the past 6 years. His insights, guidance, and ability to not only read postural distortions in the body, but to fix them, are nothing short of amazing and as a result, has helped me rejuvenate my career.
Personal Training in Austin
Everyone, regardless of their athletic ability, profession, health, or fitness regimen, has tightness’s and imbalances to some degree or another. People who carry a lot of stress, or have professions which require a lot of exertion, such as an athlete, will tend to have more. An imbalance occurs when a muscle or tendon is tight, and thus, affects the surrounding muscles by altering their length and ability to contract maximally.
An example of this would be a 35 year old woman who carries her stress in her left shoulder complex, sleeps on her side, and drives with her hands atop the steering wheel to her computer programming job. There’s a lot of obvious things at work here that are going to put this person at risk for an imbalance.
Corrective flexibility is a vital part of personal training not only for injury prevention, but because it allows the muscle to fully and more safely contract thus ensuring maximum muscle fiber stimulation and recruitment which in turn produces maximum growth and strengthening of that muscle. This is very important whether you’re simply training to get in better shape, or your NBA career depends on your ability to jump, cut, run, etc. If you’re going to set out to build the best body you can for aesthetics and/or performance, you need to make it the most efficient, and effective it can be to ensure strength, performance, and longevity of the muscles, connective tissues, and joints.
A huge part of my job, is to quickly recognize any imbalances and remedy them, while continuing to train the client towards their goals whether it be simply to get in better shape or your career depends on it.
