It is well known in the sports world that dynamic warm ups are the preferred method for athletes to get ready for training. Dynamic stretching is preferred because it activates muscles and improves range of motion. Now, by attaching a VertiMax platform or Raptor, individuals can stimulate and isolate deep intrinsic muscles as well as train firing patterns under slight load in ballistic functional movements.
1. Isolate deep intrinsic and stabilization muscles under functional conditions either in a closed chain or open chain
2. Work on natural functional movements with correct firing patterns loading protagonist and antagonist muscle groups
3. Develop correct neurological firing of muscle groups to create horizontal, vertical or rotational motions
4. Actively stretch muscle groups under slight load to increase range of motion and stimulate golgi tendon
5. Allows for simple, easy and quick active warm-ups to prep the body for training, competition, and even rehab
6. Allows for functional rehab in all planes of motion only limited to the trainer, coach or therapist’s imagination
1. Supine Position (5-10 reps per leg)
2. Prone plank position (5-10 reps per leg)
3. Stand facing the Raptors inline (5-10 reps per leg)
