Why Move Better? One of the things we love about Nordic skiing is the workout and challenge it gives for the whole body. Nordic skiing takes some practice and self awareness in your body. Move Better practices exactly that. They have taken their movement based medicine model of medical care and applied it to the sport of Nordic skiing. Clinic sessions provide a space without distractions to focus the quality and awareness of your movement so you can feel what Nordic skiing should feel like. Not only useful for the self awareness (being your own coach), now the Coaches and you have a common language in talking about ways to move and things to pay attention to once we are on snow!
Through applying the principles of Breathe, Brace, Hinge we have developed a monthly series of clinics with the practitioners at Move Better. Each clinic is tailored for general training and events scheduled for Teacup. They are open to the general public and participants in our programs.
We think these sessions are a great tool to help improve technique and prevent or eliminate injuries. They are applicable to skiing but also just LIFE and other sports.
These free sessions take place in their Portland clinic space at 237 NE Broadway Street, Suit 245 unless other wise specified. Parking is available anywhere is there parking lot during the evening hours (regards of signage) and also along 2nd Ave.
