CROSSFIT
Eliminate pain, prevent injury and optimise performance in Crossfit with Crossover Symmetry.
Crossfit has very specific skill requirements that take a lot of repetition, training and coaching to master. However, before the skilled movements of the shoulder can be mastered, the stability, mobility and motor control of the shoulder complex need to be addressed to form the foundation of shoulder function.
With a solid foundation of the shoulder these skilled movements can be optimised by allowing a more effective transfer of energy from the legs/core to the arm. This is vital if you are looking to prevent injury and increase performance.
The Crossover Symmetry Shoulder System has been designed exactly for this reason, to provide a time efficient systemised approach to shoulder care that includes the training and equipment to develop the stability, mobility and motor control of the shoulder.
