The staff of MIHP is comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds and rich skill sets in physical therapy, strength and conditioning, exercise physiology, biomedical engineering, professional running and business finance. It is our goal to enhance community awareness of health, fitness and injury prevention practices, to invest in ongoing research for the prevention of athletic injuries and to assist individuals in realizing a lifetime of athletic participation. Since 1998, MIHP Think Tank members have traveled across the map to consult with athletes of all levels and interests on issues regarding biomechanics, functional training and injury prevention. Brainstorms from the MIHP Think Tank are currently available for download at our online store and presented through seminars developed and presented by the Michigan Institute for Human Performance (MIHP). The MIHP Think Tank is a group of innovative Movement Training Specialists that design and implement solutions for the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal injury.

Walk Pain-Free
The Walker's Daily Dozen addresses common walking injuries, such as knee pain, where pain is under the knee cap, usually due to weak gluteal muscles or limited ankle mobility, and shin splints - pain in the front of the lower leg, usually due to a leg length discrepancy (which can be fixed!) and/or tight calf muscles.
Run Pain-Free
Running helps fight aging by preventing muscle and bone loss and helps fight disease by reducing the risk of stroke and breast cancer. The Runner's Daily Dozen offers solutions to The Big 5 Running Injuries, including knee pain, shin splints, IT Band Friction Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
The MIHP Difference
MYTH: "To strengthen a muscle you must isolate it and feel the burn."
FUNctional FACT: You need to teach the muscles how to work together as a team. Teach the stabilizers how to stabilize while the prime movers are moving.
Optimal Golf
Research indicates that golf injuries due to overuse and poor swing technique are prevalent among golfers of all levels. Low back pain, wrist and shoulder injuries are just a few of the more common injuries sustained by golfers. The golf swing requires proper alignment, balance, flexibility, strength and control.
