Rehabilitation vs. Athletic Training

A Kinetic Chain Perspective

Exercise protocols and training methods should be quite different when you are rehabilitating an injury to bring your body up to a functional level of activity vs. when you are striving to improve athletic performance on an already well-trained, uninjured body. After all, the goals and capabilities of the trainee are quite different within the two levels of training.

Unfortunately, most standard exercise programs do not differentiate between the two goals, and tend to apply the same exercise routines in both situations. Moving too fast, with an unprepared body, into athletic or performance training is a sure recipe for injury and disaster.

The objective of our Release Your Kinetic Chain series of exercise books is to provide exercises that help you resolve injuries in specific areas of your body, and that prepare your body for the more difficult performance-based workouts. These books provide a step-by-step, methodical process, that requires patience, and time on your part.

Let’s take a few minutes to understand the difference between these two types of programs – Rehabilitative and Athletic Training.
