Cassidy has been fortunate enough to work with some of the top athletes around the world and there are two things that he educates them on: Self Massage and Core work.
These are the reasons he created SMRT-CORE an incredible combination of core stability exercises and self-myofascial release therapy.
Many people have seen or experienced the benefits of core stability workouts. Traditionally these exercises were performed while laying on the ground. Exercises like sit-ups and crunches were considered the most effective way to increase core abdominal strength. As exercise has evolved so has the approach to building core stability.
Products like the stability ball began to hit the market and gave the fitness consumer a way to increase the intensity of their core workouts through manipulation of traditional core exercises. With proper positioning, a person can focus intensity to very specific abdominal muscle while relieving stress to the lower back.
Massage has also established itself as a necessity for proper recovery and range of motion. By increasing bloodflow to specific muscle groups, massage can greatly increase your bodies ability to maintain elasticity and range of motion and can also aid in recovery.
