LINK’s training continuum: Our philosophy and our roadmap

Each step in the diagram represents a foundational goal the client must achieve before advancing to the next level.

Mobility
Stability
Endurance
Strength
Power
Sport Performance

Proper mobility and adequate stability are necessary for the joints to move in the correct axis of rotation.

Endurance is required to hold the joints and body in the proper positions regardless of the tasks imposed. Only then can strength, power, and sports performance be trained effectively!

Adding strength, power, and sports performance to an unstable base will only diminish performance or injury.

Designed to help you improve your ability to identify movement dysfunction through observation, “Seeing is Believing” uses a combination of theory and practice to explore—from both a big-picture perspective and a zoomed-in examination of isolated body parts—how to visually differentiate between “normal” or efficient movement and wonky, laboured, or inefficient movement, and how to integrate those observations into the work you do with your patients or clients.

Matt Nichol

Strength & Conditioning Coach

I came to LINK to seek help in relieving my serious chronic back pain. Pamela has a very client‑oriented attitude and listens carefully to my concerns. She quickly grasped my issues and guided me in the proper exercises. I am now more confident in my daily chores as I have developed a much stronger core and flexibility in the desired muscles.
