The Sport & Wellness Program integrates Analytical Segmental exercises – ELDOA, Myofascial Stretching, Muscle Re-Enforcement, Proprioception, etc., based upon the work of Guy VOYER, DO – with traditional “Global” analytical exercises.

Analytical Segmental Exercises are specific to a particular muscle or muscle group and are used for a specific purpose.  An example of this would be side-lying leg raises with the working leg at a forty-five degree angle in order to strengthen the gluteus medius.  This is one of the muscles that stabilizes the pelvis so this particular exercise would be used with a client who has an unstable pelvis and no glute medius muscle.  The trainer would design the client’s program with a small number of repetitions to start, building reps each week, culminating in a healthy, strong, working muscle and the ultimate goal of a stabilized pelvis.

Global exercises are less precise and are used to build over-all stamina and strength.  An example would be the gravity squat.  The goal of using the squat in a client program would be to teach a basic movement properly and then build the client’s mastery of that movement.  There are certain things our bodies need to be able to do in our everyday life – bending down, raise our arms up, walking, standing for periods of time without losing our balance.  The more we are able to do these basic movements well, the less energy we expend, the better we are able to use our bodies properly, and the more active we can remain.

As we teach the science of human movement, wellness, and sports performance, Legacy’s clients receive customized exercise programs adapted for a specific problem or goal:  sports related, preventative, corrective, maintenance, or aesthetic.  After an evaluation, Legacy clients are given personalized Home Programs, which are complimented by participation in group exercise classes, private, and semi-private instruction/training sessions.
