Ben is functional performance coach. He is an expert in understanding how to break down movement in any sport or activity, and understand what happens to the bones, joints and muscles when they function properly as well as highlighting dysfunctions when they occur. When the bones move in the correct sequence and the joints feel what they should feel, the muscles around the joint will react, improving performance significantly. Ben believes muscles are reactive to bone movement and speeds, and not proactive in driving motion. When you apply this approach to your specific training programme, expect to see rapid increases in performance and significant enhancement of injury prevention.
