what is the athlete movement
THE ATHLETE MOVEMENT is an Adelaide based Strength and Conditioning business that aims to develop strength and efficiency in fundamental movement patterns, allowing athletes of all sports and ages to maximise their athletic potential. This is essential for both the social and competitive athlete wishing to stay above the game, enhance sporting performance and or reduce injury occurrence.
Far too often we have witnessed both young and old, and emerging and elite athletes perform with dysfunctional movement patterns and poor programming, resulting in less than optimal performance. For this reason, our goal is to get every person moving as a better athlete and provide them with the necessary skills to further their athletic careers.
