What is functional training?

Functional training and exercise prepares the body for various forms of activity and conditions the nervous system to move in movement patterns that translate directly to life, work and sport situations, in addition to aiding postural alignment, balance and coordination.

 ‘The body knows nothing of muscles, only movements” (Bobath,1980)

For those more technically minded, the generally accepted definition from leading anatomical and biomechanical researchers Ida Rolf, Andre Vleeming and Raymond Dart in 2004, is that the following are essential for Functional Movement:

  • It should be tri-planar
  • It should be integrated
  • It requires proper gravity-orientation
  • It should be proprioceptively enriched
  • It should produce dynamic stabilisation

Why do we specialise in functional training?

You can see from the long list of amazing benefits, it makes sense to spend our limited exercise time on what we believe is simply, the most effective method of training.  It reduces the risk of injury and has real world applications from day to day activities to sports and rehabilitation.
