Introducing ReaLine® Training Studio in Vancouver, BC
WHAT IS ReaLine® TRAINING?
ReaLine® is the name of a highly individualized training system that prioritizes learning to move with correct joint alignment. It was developed in Japan based on the work and research of Dr. Kazuyoshi Gamada, a widely respected professor and specialist in the fields of Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology and Physical Therapy. This method is unique in its use of innovative devices designed to accelerate the process of re-educating the body to move as nature intended.
In a nutshell, the goals of ReaLine® training are:
- to help optimize performance and prevent overuse injuries in any sport or physical activity
- to resolve or alleviate joint/muscle-related problems and prevent future issues in people of all ages
- to help everyone stay active and pain-free throughout their lifetime
ReaLine® training grew out of the concept that correct alignment is a basic and essential factor underlying all healthy body movement, from ordinary daily tasks and recreational activities to professional-level sports. The training has gained popularity in Japan over the past several years, with clients ranging from Olympic athletes to elderly seniors. Clients often report that ReaLine® was the "missing piece" that enabled them to reach their full performance or mobility potential.
Think about a motor vehicle. Even if you buy the best engine and body parts, you still need a mechanic to build and fine-tune the vehicle for it to be fully functional and operate at its best potential. Similarly, our body alignment as we move is the framework within which all our different muscles perform their respective roles. Incorrect alignment habits affect the body's performance level and injury risk in athletic pursuits, exercise and daily life activities. Moving with incorrect alignment also tends to place unnecessary stress on important joints, causing cumulative wear and tear that can eventually lead to pain and mobility issues later in life.
Assessing and correcting alignment habits at any stage of one's life can help prevent, resolve or at least partially alleviate most common joint and muscle problems.
