Sport Specific Training at the Wilson Center is provided by Pamela Wilson, DC and Christine Scarano PT, DPT.

The Wilson Center for Physical Medicine and Performance Training is pleased to offer our local athletes the missing link in their training. The body knows how to move because the nervous system gives it instructions. The quality of these instructions and the speed at which they are delivered to the muscles will greatly determine how efficiently you can develop skill, strength, speed, agility, balance, and endurance. Simply stated, if you are not training your nervous system you have not and never will achieve your full potential as an athlete. 

Sport Specific Program Goals:

The CORE is a prime example of the need to train the nervous system. It was originally thought the CORE was trained by doing abdominal exercises to make it stronger. Although strength is an important facet of CORE stability, we now know that activation of the CORE comes from the nervous system and requires the coordination of multiple systems. Current research shows that activation of the CORE is compromised in most individuals; from people who live a sedentary lifestyle to Olympic and professional athletes. Once the CORE is trained to activate correctly, it can then become functional and the body is now prepared to develop skill, strength, speed, agility, balance, and endurance.

Both Olympic and professional athletes have come to the Wilson Center to develop the efficiency of their nervous system and CORE. We now offer these specialized training protocols to young athletes in a small group setting. compromised in most individuals; from people who live a sedentary lifestyle to Olympic and professional athletes. Once the CORE is trained to activate correctly, it can then become functional and the body is now prepared to develop skill, strength, speed, agility, balance, and endurance.

An initial evaluation will determine what will need to be neurologically trained, specific to each athlete. The athlete will then be trained over a 8-12 week program, allowing the time needed to re-establish proper neurological function and athletic skill.

 8-12 Week Program:

• Initial Evaluation
• Basic Nutrition for young athletes
• Groups of 6-8
