What is The Ph4 system?

The Ph4 system starts with a comprehensive assessment that focuses on how your body is expressing itself through gait and posture.

The system itself is a combination of my Ph4 Fitness and Ph4 Flexibility Formula (if you’re a PT contact below for the Fitness Australia/ESSA accredited course).

The Ph4 Flexibility Formula is a unique look at progressing flexibility and movement through 4 phases. This has never been done before.

The 4 steps that are taken in order to progress you through these phases is outline below.

Assess: Most people come in with an idea of what they think they need, but our assessments are designed to let your body do the talking, often surprising even their owners, as we uncover the true needs and goals to put you on the right track.

4 Phase Flexibility: Training flexibility isn’t just about touching your toes. The 4 Phase Flexibility formula progresses you through 4 phases of flexibility based exercises that ensure the gains you make are usable in real life, and not just for instagram videos. Part of the Ph4 Flexibility Formula involves stretching in 3 planes of motion.

The unique progressive isometrics programming bridges the gap between the flexibility and strength training, with that realisation that anything that creates a tensile, lengthening load on the muscle counts as flexibility training.

4 Phase Fitness: Different types of exercise bring different adaptations, and need to be progressed through in order to paint a well rounded picture of fitness and health. Many trainers and their clients are stuck in 1 of these phases, resulting in plateaus, and clients that feel like they aren’t progressing. These 4 phases work in conjunction with the flexibility programming to create the absolute best version of you possible. 

Gait and posture: The way we walk is the most honest expression of our history that we can muster. The ankle sprain that never quite healed, the niggle in your back or hip that apparently isn’t a problem, or any number of events that have ingrain themselves into your movement patterns. Often these movement patterns result in an inability to move our joints freely through their normal movements. If we don’t optimise these, at our most primal and basic level-the brain, we have changed nothing.

Exercise is just something we made up. Planning can take any form that we can apply as a partnership. Redundant protocols, gym visits 3 x a week, aren’t necessary for you to get to where you want to be. The best plan is the one you will actually do, as well as the one that addresses your strengths and weaknesses.
