Getting Started:

Each HPC client begins with a thorough assessment to evaluate their current level of health and function.

1. Interview to establish a baseline for health history and current conditions
2. Posture Analysis
3. Manual testing of joint range of motion or flexibility
4. Hands on identification of muscular tension patterns
5. Identification of dysfunctional movement patterns

1. Exercise physiology
2. Biomechanics
3. Injury Prevention
4. Postural Alignment
5. Neuromuscular Re-education
6. Physical therapy
7. Sports Performance
8. Injury corrective body work and movement therapies
9. Movement awareness

Human Performance Center offers a variety of services. They specialize in both fitness training and conditioning as well as physical rehabilitation.

Fitness

We span a full spectrum of fitness capacities from weekend warriors to olympic althletes; from ages 6 to 95. Don't be fooled to believe we are only a rehab facility. Our techniques are well suited whether you're looking for a fitness program that addresses the basic needs of daily life and aging or a sports specific training program. We can help you put together an all encompasing program that includes cardiovascular conditioning through heart rate monitoring to insure safety and effeciency of your workouts. We work with you to develop an individualized fitness program specific to your needs.

We specialize in sport specific programs for:

1. Golf: improve your flexibility, stablility and core strength to improve control and distance of drives as well as improve fine motor control to improve the short game.

2. Tennis & Racket Sports: improve footwork and core stablility to improve maneuverability and reaction time as well the ability to reproduce similar strokes time after time.

3. Multi-Sport/Triathalon: Balance muscle groups to counter-affect the repetitive nature of these sports as well as stablize the core to produce more effecient movement patterns. This is the ultimate crosstraining for multi-sport athletes. Clients will not gain muscular size with this technique, but will make notable gains in functional output in events.

4. Cycling and Running: Fill the nuerological and strength gaps that are missed in the common movement pattern of cycling. The sport of cycling tends to strengthen certain muscle groups while often leaving others unattended. Balancing these patterns out will result in improved performance without any change in perceived exertion.

5. Ball sports: improve core strength, eye-hand coordination, neuro-muscular coordination, quicker reaction times, power, and explosiveness.

Rehabilitation
Both acute and chronic injuries are addressed @ HPC. The main objective is pain control through soft tissue manipulation and cold laser therapy. By breaking the pain cycle, the nervous system is able to access new pathways. This allows the client to correct movement imbalances and progress toward more functional movement patterns. The body/mind will have the opportunity to re-educate itself to move towards vitality, optimum healing, and efficiency of movement.  These patterns of dysfunction, which can be very subtle, are often missed by other professionals.  Human Performance Center is often the last stop for people who have struggled for years to achieve their desired level of wellness.
