SOLPT's program addresses the whole body. Our philosophy is that the body is only as strong as its weakest link. SOL addresses the causes of the dysfunction, and does not just treat the symptoms. Our performance training focuses on each individual's muscle imbalances or weakest links.

About Performance Training
We believe obtaining peak performance in sports, work or life demands physical attributes that combine strength, power, endurance, core stability, mobility, coordination, precision motor patterning, body and postural awareness, agility and speed. A comprehensive assessment, identification of the weak areas, goal setting and obtaining them are achieved together!

Individualized Exercise Programs
Specific exercise programs are designed by our physical therapists and athletic trainers. By designing an individual and custom program that addresses biomechanical restrictions and faulty movement patterns, we can facilitate a quicker return to function and achieve sport-specific goals. Other elements to our program include cardiovascular conditioning and strength training. Biomechanical consulting and strategies for prevention of further injury are included.

Goals
Balanced fitness includes strength, muscle mass, flexibility, power and endurance. The goals of our program include:
  • To improve the quality and longevity of your life by boosting energy, performance and well-being.
  • Motivation towards achieving success for a well-tuned, lean, balanced and flexible body.
  • A stronger core with the potential to reduce long-term spine or extremity problems.
  • Health maintenance and a potential to reduce long-term health problems.
  • Knowledge to continue a program that will build a better body and maintain it!
