Unlock the Power of Integration: Performance + Physical Therapy

As we dive into the summer, our focus for this month is on how we work to seamlessly integrate physical therapy and fitness into our programs at Activcore. We're excited to introduce you to our incredible providers in both fields of practice, aiming to demystify the treatment process and highlight some essential elements of restoring and maintaining performance. Whether you're recovering from an injury or striving to optimize your movement, our team is here to support you on your journey towards a stronger, healthier, and happier self.

‍

In life, we all encounter moments where the expert care of a physical therapist becomes invaluable. From overcoming an injury to addressing dysfunction in your mind-body connection, the guidance of a Doctor of Physical Therapy can make a significant difference in your recovery. But our approach at Activcore goes way beyond simply healing.

‍

We believe in empowering you to grow stronger, enhance functionality, and cultivate ease in your body. Our goal is to help you achieve active wellness, where you can thrive, rather than simply striving for the absence of injury. To this end, we offer a comprehensive range of services that span the entire healing-to-movement spectrum.

‍

In this month's social media posts, we will showcase how our performance specialists, who, despite their expertise in teaching Pilates, Redcord, and strength and conditioning, still find immense value in physical therapy. Through their experiences, you will witness how even the strongest and healthiest individuals can benefit from physical therapy to overcome injuries and break through barriers that might hinder their physical training.

‍

Additionally, you will see how our intelligent physical therapists benefit from the teaching guidance of our performance specialists, propelling them towards greater strength, healthier function, and a more harmonious relationship with their bodies.

‍

When you come to Activcore, we strive to be thoughtful, professional, and, above all, personal in our approach to your needs and goals. We genuinely care about you and are committed to ensuring that your journey is enjoyable and fulfilling. We invite you to experience the transformative power of our integrated approach to performance and physical therapy. Join us at Activcore and let us guide you towards a future of increased well-being, optimal movement, and a profound connection with your body.

We can't wait to see you soon! Contact us at Activcore Druid Hills to get started!

Standing on Two Feet: Balance Training Progression Exercises

In last week’s blog post about Balance from the Ground Up, we provided a simple exercise for opening up and providing proprioceptive input to the feet.

Don’t Just Look Strong. Be Strong Functionally.

The kettlebell is a physical training tool that has given rise to a great selection of very functional strength training exercises. The shape of the kettlebell is a ball with a handle, which makes it functionally similar to objects that we carry in everyday life, such as luggage and grocery bags.

Tackling A Spartan Race At Age 50: Rising to the Occasion

It was a crisp, cold January day. My boys, Finn (6) and Liam (3), pretended to be dragons breathing smoke on our walk to school. I loaded my thermos full of espresso to go work at Activcore where I teach Redcord, Pilates, and Kettlebells.

Tackling A Spartan Race At Age 50: Creating Space for Race Training

I made the verbal commitment to join my friends for a Spartan race. I did not immediately purchase my ticket or start training with my team. Instead, I started testing the waters. My work and family schedule were pretty full, making a traditional training schedule feel out of reach.

Because I’m a Performance Specialist at Activcore, I have a good sense of my own physical condition. Nonetheless, I knew that getting an outside, objective perspective from other professions would help me optimize my Spartan training plan.

Tackling a Spartan Race at Age 50: Increasing Intensity and Nutritional Support

Once I committed to the Spartan race, figured out how to make space for training in my busy schedule, and then got my body (and how it moves) tested by the experts... I decided to up the intensity of my training a few notches!

Tackling a Spartan Race at Age 50: Overcoming Some Hurdles

A key feature of Spartan races is hurdling. Not like track hurdles, but having to jump or scramble all manner of objects and obstacles in an often muddy environment. As I worked through my training plan to get myself ready to tackle the literal hurdles in the race, I encountered some figurative ones too.

Tackling a Spartan Race at Age 50: The Race is On!

The day is finally here and we are excited! The weather looks to be in our favor: slightly cloudy and not too hot, even a bit of a breeze. I am caffeinated, hydrated and ready to go. My mission is to have fun, support my team, and survive intact!
