APEX Performance Wellness & Rehab

Agility drills for skiing?! 👇 YES YES & YES! Skiing at any level, but especially the more aggressive you want to ski and advanced terrain you want to tackle, agility drills can be very beneficial, here’s why 👇 Performing agility drills on land put the body through similar stresses that you experience on the slope. Whether it’s tight turns through the trees, carving down an open groomer, or testing your skills through the moguls, agility drill work on land will help you feel more prepared and minimize the impact on the body this level of skiing can have. Of course, it takes improved skiing technique but at some point, you will face a physical limitation. Along with strength training, agility drills will help prepare the body, joints and muscles to be able to respond, react and receive the impact, pressure and force that skiing brings.

Physical therapy might have an "end" but fitness doesn't, read 👇 One of the most common timelines to general sports injuries (non surgical and low severity) is physical therapy for 6 weeks, 2 sessions per week.. This can be for an ankle sprain, MCL sprain, or something else.. But what happens NEXT when you're "done with physical therapy"?? Well, that hard work you put in during that 6 week time span (or longer for something like ACL surgery rehab, meniscus surgery rehab, etc) has created a foundation. That foundation needs to be continuously built upon and attended to to maximize the time and energy put into the injury rehab! That's why we've added 3 options for anyone coming to APEX PWR for physical therapy (or if you go elsewhere for physical therapy, what you can do with us to continue on): 1. Group training - Our group training features foundational strength training movements & a progressive overload program, which are critical to build muscle mass & strength. The group training program also adds in some mobility, muscular endurance and cardio to create a well rounded fitness regimen. 2. Personal Training - You can work one on one with one of our strength coaches (if you're an athlete or active adult) to have dedicated attention and completely customized routine. 3. Open Gym - Come use the equipment and space at APEX to stay on top of your fitness regimen. Especially with colder and wetter weather here, utilize the 40+ yards of turf, high ceilings, strength and cardio equipment to improve your fitness. If you're looking to maximize your physical therapy and/or fitness, we're ready for you!

Skiing demands a mix of strength, balance, mobility, and control—especially for navigating tricky terrain and reducing the risk of injury. One great exercise to help is the Hip Airplane! 🚀 In this video, Coach Josh demonstrates how this dynamic movement can help you prepare for the slopes. Here’s why the Hip Airplane is a ski-prep must: ✅ Builds Hip Stability: A strong and stable hip is essential for carving turns, maintaining balance, and absorbing impact on uneven terrain. ✅ Improves Single-Leg Balance: Skiing often requires balancing on one leg as you shift weight during turns. This exercise mimics that movement while strengthening stabilizing muscles. ✅ Enhances Mobility & Control: The Hip Airplane strengthens your hip’s range of motion, making it easier to adjust to changing angles and demands on the slopes. ✅ Injury Prevention: By strengthening the muscles around the hip and improving balance, you’re less likely to experience strains or falls. If you’re gearing up for ski season, now’s the time to fine-tune your body for success. Add this exercise to your routine and make sure your hips are ready to tackle the mountain with confidence. 🏔️ Want more ski prep exercises?

Speed Training should be more than a series of PLANNED MOVEMENTS Athletes need to ask themselves one question, do I always get to make the moves I want to on the field or court, or am I reacting to the defense or my opponent? Many athletes focus their speed training exclusively on sprints, ladder or mini hurdles (shown in the first slide) While these drills can be helpful, they aren't presenting game-like scenarios for athletes. Additionally, they are planned movements and many athletes don't have that luxury. At APEX PWR, our team of youth athlete speed & strength coaches implement gamified drills to: 1. Engage youth athletes that are new to training or stimulate older athletes that may be burned out from traditional, regimented training - and, 2. Present game like scenarios that can translate to sports, building reactive speed, agility and strength If your athlete is constantly falling behind the pack, our team is ready to help them stand out and build speed, agility and strength that translates. DM "SPEED" to start a conversation with our team (for IG only) Contact our 5 star team for a free consult to get a personalized plan for your athlete. This could include sports physical therapy evaluation, performance testing with state of the art technology, and/or speed + strength training (team, group or private). #speedtraining #speed #athletetraining #youthathletetraining #tigard #pdx

⛷️ Ski season is upon us — here’s why you need to add this exercise to your weekly lineup to prepare for a day on the slopes 👇 This exercise is great for building hip mobility and lateral strength, helping keep you stable and agile on the slopes. This exercise can also contribute to improved knee stability and ultimately, ski control. How to Do It: 1️⃣ Stand with your feet wide apart. 2️⃣ Shift your weight to one leg, bending the knee and keeping the other leg straight. 3️⃣ Sink as low as possible while keeping your chest upright. 4️⃣ Return to the center and repeat on the other side. 🔥 Pro Tip: Hold a kettlebell or dumbbell in front of you to add a challenge for the core, increase resistance and maximize your results. For personalized strength training for skiing, injury recovery from skiing, or open gym access to do your own program, join us at APEX PWR in Tigard—let’s help you Get More Out of Life! 🏔️ #SkiPreparation #StrengthTraining #APEXPWR
