Erik is currently finishing the SomaTraining Program at the ELDOA headquarters in Dallas, Texas.

Courses attended for SomaTraining were focused on Analytical and Segmental Muscular Strengthening of the Lower Limbs.

There are hundreds of specific exercises, which can solicit the proximal, distal, medial, lateral, middle, superficial or deep portions of each muscle in the lower extremities. The understanding of the numerous exercises that target specific areas of the lower limb are applied base on a goal, specific conditioning, balance muscles, and create the opportunity to address orthopedic dysfunction in the joint, tendon, instability and more.

Outline of the Program

• Technical analysis of the movements which are the basis of muscle strengthening

• Learning to perfect the movement (progression factors)

• How to avoid injury with the appropriate preparation

• Lower extremity warm-ups

• Quality effort in terms of strength, volume, power, speed, resistance, endurance and fitness maintenance

• Planning training sessions with respect to time availability

• Strengthening methods for the lower extremity muscles

• Muscular re-education programs

• Sports preparation programs
