We had a choice… build upon what other gyms and personal trainers are doing, or… we could innovate and create a new model of health and fitness for our clients… we were not happy with the status quo, the conventional thought process. So, we had to step back and ask ourselves… what do we need to do… what do we need to know… what do we need to change… in order to get consistent and better results for our clients. We took a step back from the conventional think and we replaced it with what we called the “Movement, Strength and Recovery Model”.
No longer is Adaptive Strength seen only as a provider of exercise and fitness, but also a participant in the process of client education, disease prevention, rehabilitation, and promotion of health and wellness.
We are an active, knowledgeable educator of the public, with our mission to help the people of Melville and surrounding areas to live a healthier and happier life.
Our system and model of health and wellness is gathering momentum with more and more health care professionals, becoming an advocate for the movement, strength and recovery system.
The movement, strength & recovery model emphasizes the functional and health status of individuals, with a customised ‘game plan’ based on improving these aspects of the client’s health & wellness.
We are more than a weight loss centre or gym, we are a rehab & functional training centre designed to help our clients improve in multiple dimensions of health and wellness with fitness and weight lose being just one dimension.
One of the key corner stones of the movement, strength and recovery system is the assessments we use. One such important assessment is the Functional Movement Screen. This movement screen uses the analysis of basic functional movements in order to determine if a movement dysfunction is present. The strength of using this movement screen is that your Coach and/or Therapist can work algorithmically “backwards” in order to determine the actual cause of the movement impairment. Through the use of systematic examination procedures and algorithmic thinking, the Coach/Therapist is able to arrive at the specific impairment and then begin functionally based interventions that assist the patient or client in return to optimal function.
The concepts of wellness at Adaptive Strength involve restoring health, alleviating pain, and preventing the onset of impairments, functional limitations, or changes in physical function and health status (weight loss etc) resulting from injury, disease or other causes (lifestyle).
