Burdenko Method

The Burdenko Method is a unique, innovative system for rehabilitation, conditioning and injury prevention. It has been developed and refined by Igor N. Burdenko PhD (pictured above, center, with FitPlan owner and Burdenko Master Instructor, Joe Carroll) over a period of 40 years in both the former Soviet Union and the United States. Many individuals from Olympic athletes to the general public have benefited from this original and extraordinarily effective system.

The Burdenko Method utilizes both land based and aquatic exercises as a novel way of using your body to optimize health and prevent injury. The Burdenko Method uses a unique combination of water and land exercises to enhance conditioning, increase neurophysiologic efficiency and heal injuries. FitPlan use the Burdenko Method extensively in both our physical therapy treatment and fitness programs to help develop the six essential qualities of life and sport: balance, coordination, flexibility, endurance, speed, and strength.

BALANCE:

Water training reduces the stress on your joints and strengthens muscles that help keep your body balanced.

COORDINATION:

Using exercises that focus on coordination, clients can regain control over their injured areas.

FLEXIBILITY:

Once a good foundation of balance and coordination has been established, flexibility will be more easily achieved.

ENDURANCE:

As the baseline needs of balance, coordination, and flexibility are achieved, the client can now focus on endurance.

SPEED:

The client will learn to use both the entire body and its individual parts. This helps tee cardiovascular system to improve exercise capacity.

STRENGTH:

Strength training will be both land and water based, increasing the capacity in both areas.
