Masters Athletes must understand two important facts:

  1. You must train to get and stay in shape for your sport, NOT play your sport to stay in shape.

  2. Regular maintenance care (strength and conditioning and hands-on treatment) of your body is necessary to sustain and improve performance as well as prevent injury.

"I just completed a very enjoyable London Marathon, thanks largely to Dr. Horwitz. I had intense pain in my leg and knee from past marathons. Eventually, running any long distance became increasingly painful. Training became a matter of guessing when, not whether, the pain would kick in. I could no longer ignore the problem and just try to run through it. Dr. Horwitz quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem as Ilio-Tibial Band Syndrome, and began a series of treatments. I put full faith in his recommendations, and followed his instructions on icing. With these treatments and a little common sense in training, the pain subsided. Within a few weeks, I began running pain-free.

Anyone could have told me to stop running. Dr. Horwitz respected my desire to finish the marathon I had been training for, and enabled me to reach my goal. I recommend him to any athlete without reservation."
Peter Petesch

The main premise for our masters training is that there is no point in trying to impose sports specific training on flawed fundamental movement patterns. Years of poor training and movement habits must be corrected. Our initial functional movement assessment is designed to identify these flawed movement patterns. A training program is designed based on the findings of this assessment and is designed to enhance coordination and mobility and build strength and athleticism.
