Good movement is the foundation for athletic performance and fitness training success. At Goodridge Strength and Conditioning, we reprogram the body to function better. We assess, screen, and train the seven fundamental movement patterns; push, pull, squat, lunge, hinge, twist, and walk. We use postural restoration to reposition the body into proper alignment and retrain the neuromuscular system.  The result is more explosive, resilient athletes—and greater efficiency in everyday life. Our bodies are great at compensating and they will adapt to any stress that is applied to it. This leads to lacks of mobility in areas that should be mobile and excess mobility in areas that should be stable. Each joint needs mobility, strength, and stability, and we develop custom range of motion and activation exercises to promote proper postural alignment and functional athletic movement. 

We train movements because everything is connected. Think of the way that movement evolves in infants. They move on their backs until one day this action allows them to roll over, initializing the hip crossover movement. Soon they progress to crawling, standing, and finally walking. With each step, they learn how to stabilize their bodies. We essentially do the same system. Many lose these abilities which is why we focus on movement. Learning how to move better will increase your performance and productivity on and off the field. With a solid foundation, your body transfers energy more efficiently, produces more power, and experiences less fatigue. Without foundational core strength you will significantly increase potential risk of injury and exponentially decrease performance.

"Goodridge Strength and Conditioning is the best option around for an athlete hoping to learn and improve every day. After three years, Malcolm has taught me everything that I know about strength and conditioning and ensured that I reached my potential. Malcolm provides the ideal combination of elite knowledge in the field and a genuine passion and interest in the success of others, and this knowledge and energy naturally causes people to excel and succeed in reaching their individual goals after working with Malcolm."
