Vaino Movement and Performance provides custom strength and conditioning programs. At the core of our approach is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), a research-based tool for identifying muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns. Most of us moved very well as children, but have since developed some bad habits. Often these habits result from too much time sitting at a desk or as a result of fun activities like running, biking and hockey.
Our bodies are great compensators, which allows us to continue to enjoy these activities for a period of time, but eventually it catches up and we end up with a visit to the doctor. The doctor and other therapists can usually get us fixed up, but if the root cause is not addressed, then the problem will return.
What's the solution? We believe quality personal training is the answer. A strong personal trainer can:
-Identify muscle imbalances
-Prescribe corrective exercises
-Improve core stability (crucial if you have low back pain)
-Improve ankle, hip and thoracic spine mobility (even more crucial if you have low back pain)
-Increase overall strength and endurance
-Help you to lose weight
As the only personal trainer in Ottawa who is FMS Certified, Vaino Movement and Performance is your best option. We will screen your movement, review your schedule and your goals and create a program specific to you. Whether you goal to improve your quality of life, to improve your performance on the field or on the ice, or hoping to still be golfing or skiing in another 20 years, Vaino Movement and Performance can help you reach it.
