How is Aruka Different?
At Aruka, we begin with a thorough assessment to identify and correct movement dysfunction—improper patterns that can lead to injury and hinder performance. Our evaluations and programming, which were developed by Coach Johnston based on his involvement in NFL Return to Play programs, use video analysis to detect and address red flags before injuries occur.
The Aruka journey begins by addressing movement dysfunction—incorrect patterns that can lead to injury and poor performance. Using methods developed by Coach Johnston in NFL Return to Play programs, we identify potential issues before they cause harm, replacing improper movement with proper mechanics to build a strong foundation for success.
This is the Aruka proprietary solution to fix the problems detected by an Aruka evaluation. Motion Therapy targets and corrects biomechanical flaws and incorrect movement patterns through tailored exercises, therapeutic recommendations, mobilizations, and guidance. It’s essential for both healthy and injured athletes and recommended for any fitness or sports program. By addressing compensatory movements due to injuries or inadequate training, it enhances athleticism and reduces injury risks for all, regardless of activity levels or age.
Choose programs that fit your need and experience. Aruka Blueprints have been developed for a variety of needs and populations. Blueprints contain not only programming but atypical information you need to empower your experience. Our state of the art MyPlans are specifically designed and tailored for your individual needs. Return to Play Protocols have been designed for individuals who are returning from injury and need a proven path of recovery.
