Strength & Conditioning at Highfield Clinic

Strength & Conditioning

Strength and conditioning is the practical application of the science behind coaching, training adaptation and recovery. It looks to enable athletes and participants:

  • To move their bodies effectively
  • Build resilience to withstand the demands of training and the demands of their sport
  • Reach their performance goals.

While the roots and future of strength and conditioning are firmly set within the world of high-performance sport, there is now widespread recognition that the whole population can benefit from strength and conditioning.

Whether that is in youth and schools, the military, grassroots sport, medical rehabilitation or the general population looking to improve their health, wellbeing and performance.

The ability to design, deliver and continuously evaluate training programmes using exercise techniques, appropriate cueing, progression and regression are all the key elements we use to make an impact on a participant’s training.  

Impact, adherence and attendance are key measures for S&C professionals. As such, coaching skills alongside relationship building play a vital part in the success of any S&C programme that would include:

  • Foundation movement skills to develop flexibility, mobility, stability, balance, co-ordination and strength.
  • Energy systems training that improves aerobic and anaerobic endurance.
  • Advanced strength, speed, agility and plyometric training further to underpin movement skills in certain sporting demands.

A stronger, fitter, faster participant is:

  • More likely to be successful in their chosen sport(s) at whatever level they compete 
  • More likely to have a greater robustness, reducing the likelihood for injury 
  • More likely to be able to enjoy the benefits and rewards of a long sporting career.

Our Patients say…

Dr Smart, GP, Allestree

I first started coming to Highfield Chiropractic Clinic about a year ago for a back problem, upon the recommendation of other clients who have used their services. The standard of care I have received has been exemplary. Every member of staff at the practice whom I have encountered has been polite and welcoming, ensuring confidentiality is maintained at all times. As a fellow healthcare professional, I have been very happy with the care I have been given at Highfield and have recommended the clinic to other friends who I feel would benefit from their expertise.

Mrs Wild, Allestree

The treatment I have received over the last 10 years at Highfield has been a life saver for me. I have recurrent episodes of back pain and without my visits for treatment when needed I would have been in constant pain. The staff and chiropractors are so friendly and kind that it is a joy to be treated.

Mr Binfield, Chellaston

I am in the building trade and this plays havoc with my back. I was recommended to Highfield by a friend and have been using them now for more than 10 years. Every so often my back seizes up and after a few sessions with Highfield I can be back on my feet and back to work. I can’t thank the whole team enough for what they have done for me and I would highly recommend them. It’s the best money I have ever spent!

Mr Baldwin, Darley Abbey

The staff at Highfield are always courteous and friendly and the chiropractor’s aren’t too bad either! Their magic touch had me back playing golf in no time at all after a long lay off.

Mrs Spurr, Quarndon

I have been visiting Highfield Chiropractic Clinic for over 2 years and have always appreciated the friendly, personal service that accompanies the professional treatment.

Miss Walker, Alvaston

My chiropractor is amazing. He was so gentle, kind and reassuring as I was a very nervous patient!
