RCRG Presents: The Well Balanced Rollergirl
"It's not if you get hurt, but when..." is a phrase all rollergirls know. Traumatic injuries occur frequently with roller derby, but if you experience pain with non-contact aspects of the sport, your mechanics may be to blame. This five-part class will help you better understand your anatomy and mechanics, teach you corrective exercises, and prevent overuse syndromes that commonly occur with skating. The core, hip/pelvis, knee, foot, and balance/cross training concepts will all be addressed to make you a more balanced, pain-free athlete.

Sessions:

Sun 11/18 2-4 p.m.: Introductory concepts and the core
Sat 12/8 2-4 p.m.: The well-balanced hip and pelvis
Sun 12/9 2-4 p.m.: The well-balanced knee
Sat 12/15 2-4 p.m.: The well-balanced foot and ankle
Sun 12/16 2-4 p.m.: The well-balanced rollergirl

Each session with consist of lecture, interactive labs, and open discussions.

28 max attendess will be allowed per session.

After taking this class, the participant will be able to:
1.Name specific knee structures that are often injured as a result of poor skating mechanics
2.Appropriately assess knee alignment as part of posture or movement, and identify key impairments which may contribute to pain/dysfunction/injury
3.Demonstrate correct self-assessment of double and single limb squat mechanics as a method to decrease risk of non-contact skating injuries

Session 4: The well-balanced foot and ankle

After taking this class, the participant will be able to:
1.Identify key regions of the foot and ankle to enable good stability and function while skating
2.Articulate how the foot and ankle can contribute to knee/hip pain and dysfunction
3.Demonstrate corrective exercises to strengthen the foot and prevent toe deformity
4.Assess over the counter inserts relative to their foot type

Session 5: The well-balanced rollergirl

After taking this class, the participant will be able to:
