WHAT WE DO?
GravityFit is a complete Science based system of whole body exercise developed from Space research to optimize Core Body Strength and Performance developed by Dr Caroline Richardson to improve posture and core muscle function to protect our joints, bones and muscles from strain & pain. It can be a great complement to your rehabilitation, if you have an injury, musculoskeletal problem, postural problem, pain, or arthritis.
GRAVITY FIT EXERCISE MODEL
The Gravity Fit Exercise Model is designed to get your body moving the way it was meant to - efficiently, effectively, and pain-free. This model is based on a deep understanding of the two primary types of muscles in the body and their distinct roles:
-Gravity Muscles (Holders): These muscles are responsible for maintaining posture and stabilising the body against the pull of gravity. They provide the foundation for balance and support during movement.
-Movement Muscles (Movers): These muscles drive physical activity by generating force and enabling motion. They work dynamically to perform everyday activities, sports, and other functional tasks.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
The roles of gravity muscles and movement muscles are very different, and so are the strategies required to keep them performing at their best. Misalignment, weakness, or overcompensation in either group can lead to poor performance, injury, or chronic pain.
WHY WE DO IT?
When your Gravity muscles are strong, especially your core, your body has more power, agility, balance and better all-round stability and posture. Sadly, modern life and many types of exercise actually weaken your Gravity muscles. GravityFit is a revolutionary exercise and rehabilitation system that strengthens the deep muscles you need to live, heal and perform at your peak.
BENEFITS OF THE GRAVITY FIT MODEL:
Targeted Exercises: Understanding the unique demands of gravity and movement muscles allows us to develop exercise programs tailored to your specific needs.
Optimal Recovery: By focusing on proper muscle activation and balance, we can help you recover faster and more effectively from injuries.
Enhanced Performance: The model ensures that your body functions as a cohesive system, improving strength, mobility, and endurance for optimal performance.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to improve athletic performance, the Gravity Fit Exercise Model can help you move and feel your best.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT?
Anyone who wants to improve overall function. By reactivating and strengthening your Gravity muscles, especially your core, you restore the stability of the joints and spine, improve your balance, recover more efficiently from injury and enable pain-free movement. When your Gravity muscles, especially your core, are switched on and performing as they should be, you look and feel taller, your joints and spine are protected from injury and you have better all-round movement, stability and posture.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
An initial session with the physiotherapist is needed to understand your needs and abilities. The physiotherapist will then develop a programme for you, supply you with the equipment to use and follow you up as appropriate by appointment.
