Symmetry in Motion by Poulin Performance-

The purpose of Symmetry in Motion is to create balanced, injury free skiers. For decades ski coaches and instructors have been aware of differences from one turn to the other. This difference was always put down to strength alone, but now we are able to see how musculo-skeletal alignment affects skiing and sets us up for asymmetrical strength development in very specific patterns.

Symmetry in Motion was developed by Oliver Hall, PT and Vance Schug, ATC, PES, CSCS. Oliver is a graduate of the University of Vermont where he studied Physical Therapy and raced on the UVM ski team. Oliver’s skiing background includes going to a ski academy in Norway, representing the British National team for 2 years racing at FIS, Europa-Cup and World Championship level and most recently coaching at the Green Mountain Valley School.

Vance has practiced as a Certified Athletic Trainer for the past nine years and within that time has attained additional certifications in Performance training and Strength and Conditioning. Vance’s background in skiing includes, attending Burke Mountain Academy, coaching and treating athletes as the head Athletic Trainer at Stratton Mountain School, working with top national athletes for performance enhancement.

Oliver and Vance have been working with the athletes at GMVS since 2003, where their training in Postural Restoration has helped athletes become more efficient and symmetrical.

Symmetry in Motion offers comprehensive performance enhancement and rehabilitation programs. We give individualized alignment and conditioning programs, based on clinical findings and video analysis of your skiing and for optimal results we work together with professional boot fitters and ski coaches.

Symmetry in Motion is offered exclusively at Poulin Performance and Rehabilitation Centers, which are located at GMVS in Waitsfield, VT and at the Olympiad Gym in South Burlington,VT.
