Unilateral vs. Bilateral Strength Training

$129.99 Standard

For decades, strength programs have focused on bi-lateral symmetry…but that strategy may actually be hindering performance.  Modern day neuroscience has unlocked the potential of unilateral training as an essential component of peak performance for many of today’s athletes. Set yourself apart with these neurologic foundations that are underutilized by today’s performance professionals.   

  • Improve motor strength and transfer by specific targeting neural systems 
  • Customize solutions for your programming based on client’s presentation 
  • Use strength training as a pain-relief tool 
  • Determine exactly when to use what type of contraction – and does it really matter? 
  • Improve motor coordination by adding perturbation variables to strength work 

You’ll also learn re-assessment skills that streamline your treatment plans while instilling confidence for both the practitioner and patient.  This session provides a powerful training approach that incorporates neurologic techniques for a faster improvement timeline.  It’s the ultimate recipe for specificity: the right kind of strength, for the right kind of person at the right time.   

Here's What You'll Learn

  • Neural processes 
  • Critical pathways: Corticospinal and reticulospinal
