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.

Session 3: The well-balanced knee

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:
