The Tignum Performance Movement System

We have designed our system to increase your self-awareness of current Movement habits and to utilize the many opportunities to incorporate Movement into your daily schedule. We then focus on improving mobility, stability, and balance, which research has shown will reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury and pain. This will also enable you to participate in a multitude of activities for daily living, ultimately enhancing your health, performance, and quality of life. Next, our system helps build your capacity through a highly effective and effcient method of cardiovascular training. The final level, designed to improve your functional strength, includes a circuit strength training program designed to improve function, strength, and endurance, and to reduce the risk of injury.

The four levels of our Tignum Performance Movement System include:

_Increase Blood Flow and Enhance Your Immune System

_Improve Your Mobility, Stability, and Balance

_Expand Your Capacity Through Energy System Development (ESD)

_Build Sustainability Through Functional Strength

In each level, we help leaders design and incorporate the most effective strategies for their individual needs. Much research has been done on each of these areas, but the important thing is that you understand these concepts and how easily they can be implemented into your daily life to improve your High Performance Movement habits.

Level 1 – Increase Blood Flow and Enhance Your Immune System

Wake up your body, release tension, and perform better.

The first level of Movement is a MUST. Often the excuse for not moving more is that there is not enough time. The truth is that there are a multitude of opportunities to move throughout your day. By simply taking advantage of these opportunities, you can easily keep moving to increase blood flow and enhance your immune system. Every time you move, your lymph flow is increased, which transports antigen-presenting cells and stimulates your immune response.

In this level, we encourage you to look for opportunities to move more on a daily basis. Make the choice to take the stairs rather than the escalator. Walk instead of using the automatic people-mover at the airport. Park farther from the entrances so that you can walk to your appointments. Perform some self-massage (see Tennis Ball Massage below) every day. Avoid sitting for long periods by going for a short walk or doing some stretches every 90 minutes or so. By setting your goals for Movement to happen every day, studies have shown that you will actually meet your goal at least five times a week.

Tennis Ball Massage

At Tignum, we love simple solutions with big impact. This is why we love the tennis ball. It’s small, easy to carry, inexpensive, and it can help you reduce pain and tension, improve your blood flow, enhance your immune system, and even stimulate your right brain. Tennis ball massage is a simple and practical way to massage away your tension. It is a great way to start or end your day, take a break, or just release tension after a challenging meeting or event.
