Mainsail Wellness & Performance

What Is Mindful Movement?

The human body is comprised of 206 bones, 640+ muscles, and four fascial global slings all orchestrated by the central nervous system. When communication between the brain and body is efficient, we are able to adapt, recover, reduce the risk of injury, and train to a higher level for a longer duration. At Mainsail, we fully acknowledge and embrace the impact of the mind on one's physical health. We leverage multidisciplinary knowledge, diverse experience, and decades of professional expertise to support you in reaching your full potential. Ultimately, we partner with clients and organizations to provide world-class mind-body education programs that offer the tools needed to maximize both mental focus and physical health.

Step 1: Deepen Awareness

This phase is dedicated to building awareness around your body's unique needs. We begin with education, teaching you how to balance your nervous system through breath work, how to self-assess muscular imbalances through a postural analysis, and how to introduce foundational movement patterns to reprogram your neuromuscular system. Our proprietary approach includes the following:

- Fundamentals of Breathing

- One-on-One Postural Analysis

- Personalized/Interactive Body Scans

- Foundational Movement Pattern Education

Step 2: Develop Life-Long Skills

This phase of Mainsail's approach is dedicated to deepening your knowledge of state-of-the-art mental and physical recovery techniques. These wide-ranging skills and techniques allow your neuromuscular system to accurately perceive and respond to stress for optimal tissue integrity and sustainability. Our approach primarily considers the following elements:

- Fascial Movement Education

- Foam Rolling

- Core Activation

- Proper Warm-Up and Cool-Down Techniques

- Mindfulness and Meditation

- Visualization

Step 3: Develop Your Body's Unique Training Toolkit

At Mainsail, our primary goal is for you to leave with the skills and confidence to take ownership of your personalized mindful movement protocol. This phase is dedicated to supporting you as you develop your own training toolkit, based on your body's specific needs, while honoring competing demands on your time. We provide individualized and supervised guidance on:

- Performing a needs analysis and developing prioritization skills/techniques.

- Developing a realistic schedule for success.

- Identifying and implementing strategies to promote personal accountability.
