• CROSSFIT FITNESS • ReQuest PT Understands CrossFit Enthusiasts CROSSFIT ATHLETES DESIRE TO REMAIN ON THE ‘FIELD’ EVEN WHEN EXPERIENCING PAIN
ThedefinitionsofCrossFitandfitness involvesome formof constantly varied functional movements, executed at high intensities with the goal of improving work capacity . As we strive to improve our fitness on a daily basis, we are responsible for balancing efficacy, efficiency and safety. It is critical that we ask ourselves these questions: What am I getting from this? How is this helping me achieve my goals? How long will it take me to achieve my goals? How far can I push myself without risking injury? There is a common notion that “CrossFit hurts people,” when in reality, a combination of poor coaching techniques, ego, and incorrect form are the precursors to injury. We Crossfitters know that pushing your Fran time, hesitating during a rep that would be a PR and showing off your muscle-up skills prior to a proper warm-up can all lead to pain, if not significant injury. We also know that, despite discomfort, we have a unequivocal will to resume our craft. This is where Physical Therapists are of benefit to Crossfitters. Ice, heat, rest, kinesiotape, e-stim and voodoo band are only so effective for the passive help they provide. Instead, why not see a functional movement specialist to improve upon your
current form, decrease your likelihood of reinjury and increase the possibility of getting your next PR? ReQuest Physical Therapy not only has experienced Doctors of Physical Therapy on staff, but a Level 1 CrossFit trainer as well. We not only know the human body, we understand CrossFit.
