Mobilis Performance Partners with Flexi-Sport

Mobilis Performance™ is proud to announce a new partner. Flexi-Sport has long been established in the fitness industry and produces the Flexi-bar, which is an excellent product that teaches you how to engage the core naturally. The Flexi-bar causes the core to work, whether you are trying to engage it or not. In fact, as the core is a ‘reflex’ muscle group (in other words it needs to be able to work without you consciously thinking about it), a core programme is incomplete without this type of training.

To describe how the core works, think about when you bend over to pick something up. You never consciously think to tighten your core before you pick up the object, the process happens automatically. At least it should do.

For many people, this natural and reflex tightening of their core doesn't happen for some reason, often due to poor posture and a history of previous injury. In these cases, the core has to be trained to work functionally again. The Flexi-bar is a great way of doing that.

We are now using the Flexi-bars on our stabilise courses to teach people how to work the core muscles in the right way.

Flexi-Sport also run courses to teach you how to use the Flexi-bars, and these courses compliment the work done by Mobilis Performance. We cover many areas on our stabilise courses, and we now also teach you when the Flexi-bars should be used in an exercise programme and how to best integrate them into your programming.

The Flexi-bar courses, run by Steve Schiemer and Rebecca Small, then take this Flexi-bar training to the next level and give you a variety of exercises and programmes to follow.

We are looking to work together at FitPro (the international fitness conference and exhibition) where both Mobilis Performance and Flexi-bar are presenters.

Mobilis and Flexi-Sport are keen to develop a course structure that allows us to combine the benefits of the biomechanical aspect of Mobilis Performances work, with the practical skills of Flexi-bar. We hope to make this a two-day course and we will keep you informed on the progress of this course.
