The Neubie for Wellness
Improve Performance
Athletic performance is not just in the body, it’s also in the brain and nervous system. This system controls your movement, muscles, and overall health and wellness.
Above all else, your brain prioritizes survival and wants to be sure you live to see tomorrow. That often means your brain will “put on the brakes”, limiting your performance to ensure that you don’t get injured.
What does this actually mean?
It means that a targeted, neurological intervention like The Neufit Method, using the Neubie device, can make a difference in your performance.
We will train you to boost your performance with:
The Neubie to re-educate your muscles to perform at their highest possible levels.
Strategic mobility drills to bulletproof your joints and improve movement quality and capacity.
Large doses of eccentric movement to train the muscles to become more pliable and absorb greater amounts of force.
Other unique exercises and techniques that will amplify your ability to perform at a high level - starting with the brain and working their way down.
The process in summary does the following:
RE-EDUCATES your muscles to perform at their highest possible level
IMPROVES MOVEMENT QUALITY AND CAPACITY though strategic mobility drills to bulletproof your joints
TRAINS ECCENTRIC MOVEMENTS in large doses to train muscles to be more pliable and absorb greater amounts of force
All new clients to our clinic will need to complete a complementary screening by a therapist prior to your first Neubie session. Please contact our office at 703-844-8699
Boxing Programs
The purpose of creating this kind of program was to provide a comfortable, safe, and familiar environment for our clients to become a part of the boxing community and experience all the benefits boxing, non-combat of course, has to offer.
For those with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), the first line of defense against the disease is to keep moving and maintain an active engaging lifestyle. These can include joining local fitness or wellness groups. The effects of boxing specifically are that Boxing is more diverse and has been linked to targeting specific PD symptoms. Boxing not only incorporates cardio, but focuses on regaining one’s balance, hand/eye coordination, agility, flexibility, strength/power, reduces stress and most importantly helps build confidence and the sense of fighting back.
There are many people fighting their own PD battle, but with the help of our 1:1 Personal Boxing Program (PBP), and Box with A Friend, no one has to fight alone. Call us today and sign up! All levels welcome!
