Endurance Physio Strength and Preparation Training Classes
The Endurance Physio Strength and Preparation classes are seasonal 10-12 week sessions designed to optimize muscle, joint, and tendon health in addition to building stability and motor control for common recreational activities such as running, biking, and skiing. Many Missoulians are great at spending time breathing hard on the trails, but have trouble finding the time, equipment, and motivation to compliment the endurance training with more strength work. These classes are designed by our physical therapists with the goal of teaching sound lifting technique and appropriate progression and modification of what we think are the best "bang-for-your-buck" exercises. We certainly don't advertise this as an "injury prevention" program, but it's a chance to work on lifting technique and progressive loading principles that will improve durability of tissues that often get overuse injury in endurance sports. All of our strength classes have a primary focus on compound lifts for both upper and lower body as well as accessory lifts. They will vary in the exercise focus depending on the season and the popular upcoming sports. The classes are instructed by physical therapists and/or physical therapy and exercise physiology students and can be modified to fit many ability and experience levels.
