Individual Programs

Improve Your Performance Beyond Coaching

Improve Your Flexibility Beyond Stretching

Our individual programs are available in any sport, posture or specific flexibility ranges. The programs are one-on-one and are available throughout the year by appointment.

Because we work to improve the functioning of the body as a whole, the individual programs are a minimum of 30 hours, which can be completed in as little as 5 days. The length of your program will depend on how stiff you are and how much flexibility you need for your activity.

Evaluation

We recommend our three-hour Evaluation before starting an Individual Program. We will videotape, analyze and measure frame-by-frame your mechanics, measure your flexibility in activity-specific ranges, and then release microfibers. If we can help you, you will see a big improvement during your Evaluation. Based on your goals, your flexibility and the speed at which you respond to your Microfiber Reduction, we can then recommend the best program for you.  Professional  evaluations may take longer than two hours; please inquire about the time requirements for your sport.

Level I

Level I is the minimum, 30-hour program designed for recreational athletes and individuals who are already fairly flexible (they have lost only 25% or less of the range they need for their sport). It includes videoanalysis, measurement of sport or activity specific ranges, Microfiber Reduction (our exclusive form of connective tissue massage that improves flexibility far beyond what stretching alone can do), Tension Reduction to reduce tension, Stress Reduction to reduce stress, drills and exercises to improve mechanical efficiency, measurement of strength in sport-specific ranges, exercises to improve strength and stretches to improve flexibility. Since each sport or activity has 20-25 critical ranges of motion, in Level I we can cover only one sport or activity.

Level II

Level II is a 60-hour program designed for competitive athletes and individuals who have lost 50% or less of the flexibility they need for their sport or activity in one or more ranges. Level II includes the same elements as Level I and can be completed in as little as two weeks.

Level III

Level III is a 90-hour program designed for competitive athletes, triathletes and individuals who have lost 50-75% of the flexibility they need for their sport or activity. Level III includes the same elements as Level I and can be completed in as little as three weeks.

Level IV

Level IV is a 120-hour program designed for individuals who are very stiff and have lost more than 75% of one or more ranges they need for their sport or activity. The Level IV program can be completed in as little as four weeks.

Level V

Level V is a four-year program designed for professional athletes.  The first year, at a minimum, consists of the Level IV 120 hour program described above. The fees for this 120 hour program are found under fees below.

Because of the stresses involved in professional sports, athletes will need a minimum of an additional 30 hours of Microfiber, Tension and Stress Reduction in each of the following years. The athlete will also send Somax videotapes of each performance, which Somax will digitize and download onto a special website with analysis. The athlete can then log onto the internet and see this analysis with a special password.  With this technology, it has been possible to predict injuries as far as two years in advance by detecting small changes in biomechanics. The fee for the additional Microfiber Reduction is based on our hourly fee and the four years of web-based videoanalysis is $40,000 per year or 10% of gross income (whichever is greater), plus endorsements.

Fees

Fees for our individual programs are $350 an hour and do not include fees for any sports training aids.  Fees for each program are non-refundable and are due in full at the time appointments are scheduled.

Travel

A 30% premium is charged for travel within the continental US, with a minimum of 60 hours in two weeks. A 50% premium is charged for international travel, with a minimum of 120 hours in four weeks.

Internet Video Analysis

Individual clients are encouraged to purchase our Internet Video Analysis, a periodic download of videotape you send us for ongoing analysis. The fee for this program is $700 per analysis, with a minimum of 25 bi-weekly analyses.
