FIT = Functional Improvement Training:
Elite Advantage Physical Therapy provides Elite Level training using evidence-based data collection and exercise techniques.
The goal of all FIT Programs is to maximize athletic performance and reduce the risk of non-contact injury.
All FIT Programs begin with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
- This screening system is employed by NFL, NHL, MLB, and Collegiate teams.
- The FMS provides information about body control, strength, and Right and Left symmetry.
- Currently, asymmetry is the most powerful way to predict risk of injury.
- We use specially-designed speed, agility, reflex, quickness, and power tests based on the individual demands of each sport.
"If you don't test, then it's just a guess."
- A custom program for performance enhancement is developed based on testing performance.
- By training an athlete's weakest link, the entire kinematic chain becomes exponentially stronger, generating optimal athletic performance and giving you the ELITE ADVANTAGE!
