The War Machine or CrossCore 180 represents so much of what FisioNostra is about. Practicing movement to achieve functional movement that is fluid, flowing, accurate, precise, full of intent and purpose. Functional movement is dynamic, rotational, variable in speed and intensity: we recommend use of bodyweight, dynamic resistance (kettlebells), and bodyweight plus eg. the WarMachine.
At FisioNostra where we have a mix of clients following a path of rehabilitation and those focussed on improving sports/functional performance right from the outset we quickly educate them that the WarMachine we use in our centre is accessible to all!
Whatever label you choose the challenge of “pulling the pin” remains. Rotational movement is available once control of simple symmetrical movement has been achieved – rotation/spin/twist and turn is what the human animal does and needs to maintain and improve.
Not so long ago I wrote a post about the War Machine, the Pulley Training system creation of Cross Core USA and is soon to be hitting the UK and Ireland courtesy of Balance Performance Physiothzrapy http://www.warmachine-europe.com
Having been in the possession of only a few strength and conditioning coaches in the UK and Europe the War Machine will now be made available to Personal Trainers, Strength and Conditioning teams, Bodybuilding coaches, sports teams, health, fitness and gym facilities, sports injury/ physiotherapy departments, and martial arts clubs.
The War Machine is a high quality, high spec, robust suspension and pulley training system that offers everything from simple rehabilitation to sophisticated movement control, from early stage shoulder rehabilitation to advanced strength and/or conditioning.
To register your interest and for presales information go to http://www.warmachine-europe.com/ and plug your email address in on the right hand side.
The War Machine will be challenging coaches and trainees in every setting from the serious home training of the individual, one to one fitness training with a PT, in high street gym classes, MMA conditioning and sports strength training.
To sample what the Crosscore WAR MACHINE can offer you as a rehabilitation specialist, a strength coach, personal fitness trainer or physical/sports training enthusiast book a session with one of the strength and conditioning team at Balance Performance on 02076272308. For those out of London call Jonathan Lewis on 07960861267 to find out where else you can go in England, Wales and Scotland.
