ESSENTRICS®
(THE METHOD)
ESSENTRICS® IS A DYNAMIC, SCIENTIFICALLY DESIGNED, FULL-BODY WORKOUT THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY COMBINES STRETCHING AND STRENGTHENING WHILE systematically working through ALL 650 MUSCLES and 360 joints TO REBALANCE THE ENTIRE BODY.
This strengthening, mobility & flexibility program uses weight-free eccentric training - a method proven to strengthen muscles faster than concentric training - to work through the natural muscle chains in every direction of the body, and liberate your fascia, empower your muscles, relieve tension, increase flexibility, agility and mobility for a healthy, toned, strong, and pain-free body.
The techniques used in Essentrics come from a variety of sources – physiotherapy, physiology, kinesiology, ballet, tai chi and dance - all intelligently combined to craft this unique full-body rebalancing program that trains the muscles to be as flexible as they are strong. It’s a fantastic method that’s ahead-of-it’s-time, and uses a combination of positional techniques, joint movement techniques, and neuromuscular techniques to target small and large muscles, as well as connective tissues and nerves to liberate and lubricate joints, reduce scar tissue, while strengthening your entire musculature, correcting posture, and increasing flexibility and mobility from head to toe.
The physical body is similar to the emotional body; it too feels a sense of peace when we are in harmony with what it needs. Our body feels best when we are not forcing it into awkward or painful movements that do not flow naturally with our muscle chains. At the end of an Essentrics class, you will feel relaxed and contended with a sense of well-being that extends beyond the physical.
One of the most inspiring aspects of Essentrics is that it has become a ‘fountain of youth’ for young and old – reversing poor posture, aiding weight loss, bringing more fluidity to daily movement, strengthening weak muscles, relieving chronic injuries and pain, and helping to gain explosive power and endurance when it comes to improving athletic performance.
