What Professionals Are Saying

Return to Center

No two people have identical lives, so why should they have identical programs?

The traditional approach to strength and conditioning has been all about getting bigger and stronger, but at what cost? Joint pain, tendinitis, bursitis, non-contact sports injuries, and lower back pain are just a few of the potential by-products. In Return to Center, Rocky Snyder takes a refreshing approach to improving human performance without the drawbacks of pain and reduced mobility. This new methodology bases each program on the individual, their posture, and their unique gait pattern. No two people have identical lives, so why should they have identical programs?

Includes over 100 photographs and over 150 Videos for self myofascial release techniques, mobility drills, and strength motions.
