Description

The Endurance Physio Seasonal Performance Training classes are a 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 and improve strength. This is a supervised 10-12 week progressive strengthening program designed to optimize muscle, joint, and tendon health in addition to building stability and motor control in the areas that we commonly see contributing to injury.  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. 

The focus of the Fall session is on quads and shoulder/core for prepping for all of the skiing sports including nordic, downhill, skimo, and backcountry. The class will be focused on squats and deadlifts, shoulder extension movements, and general hip, shoulder and core stability to increase strength and durability for the upcoming Winter season. We offer a winter/spring session that is geared more towards biking and running, that is very similar. If your primary sport is running, this can also be a great program for your off-season running strength prep. This year, the Fall session will be 10 weeks of class 2x/week with a one week off during the Thanksgiving Holiday week (total 20 classes).
