London Strength & Performa Physiotherapy unite to bring you your Core Control Programme! This is one of three fundamental programmes (along with "Back and Shoulders" and "Hip and Knee") designed to make you faster, more powerful, and more efficient in generating force. These three programmes are aimed at athletes in strength and power sports, but they are also suitable for anyone looking to develop their athletic abilities. A bit about why we developed this: Using the knowledge of experienced sports physiotherapists working with both elite and amateur athletes across various sports. Over the years, we’ve noticed many athletes struggle with performance due to a lack of emphasis on sports-specific strength training. They often focus on technical skills with less attention to control and isolated training, which can slow or even limit their progress. From an injury prevention perspective, it's crucial to introduce exercises that target weaknesses early in training, rather than allowing them to develop into patterns that hinder long-term success.

This plan is designed to provide a strong foundation for future training. It helps you understand the importance and application of strength training for better performance and ultimately builds a bulletproof core, allowing you to perform exceptionally even as you age.

The programme runs for six weeks, divided into two blocks: the first block involves two training sessions per week, and the second block adds an extra session, making it three per week. ** We recommend doing these sessions after your main sport-specific training or on accessory days, so you don't fatigue before your primary workouts. We believe in preventing injuries rather than just treating them, so if you want to stay on top of your training, enhance your athletic abilities, and enjoy your sport, this programme is for you! **
