'I\'ve been spending a lot of time around the pitch lately working with injured footballers and I\'ve learned something...   Many soccer players ages 13-25 don\'t think \"lifting legs\" is important in the gym.  If you\'re a loyal reader, I\'m sure you know my reaction to this...YIKES.   I am a believer in strength training for all athletes as young as nine years old. I am especially a believer in footballers training in-season and out of season.  Strength training helps athletes become more resilient and injury resistant. It assists in speed and power development in turn improving agility. It can help older athletes prolong their careers. It is a way for young & developing athletes to learn more about how their bodies move. It also helps athletes improve their motor control and coordination over time.   Although these concepts are supported by ample research (did you know there are over 300+ articles published in the world of soccer annually?), players, coaches, parents & healthcare providers continue to fail our soccer athletes. So, why is the addition of strength training a foreign concept to many?   Feldman Physical Therapy & Performance is the premier provider of physical therapy services in the Hudson Valley.
