16th Annual Practical Approach to Sports Medicine

Hello Everyone!

This Friday December 4th, I will be a guest speaker at the

16th Annual Practical Approach to Sports Medicine Symposium

My topic is on Dynamic Flexibility, an attribute extremely important to athletes and general population alike.

Remember, our bodies don't work through limitations, sadly they work around limitations. This causes the development of poor movement patterns which will eventually decrease performance and increase risk of injury!

Don't let flexibility be your (or your athletes') weak link, for more information on the Symposium click here. If you can't make it to the Symposium, but would like to learn more about Dynamic Flexibility you contact me at aharen@agmc.org

Keep Training!
