At Ascend Sports Chiropractic, we’re always pushing the envelope—looking for what’s next, what’s better, and what helps our athletes move, perform, and feel their best. That’s why I recently dove deep into a course with Austin Einhorn, founder of Apiros and The Evolved Coach. If you're not familiar with Austin’s work, let me put it this way: it’s not just training—it’s retraining how the body thinks and moves.
Einhorn’s approach is called Evolved Coaching, and after experiencing it firsthand, I can say it’s more than a buzzword—it’s a shift in how we develop, coach, and rehab movement. Rather than drilling isolated exercises and overemphasizing linear strength, evolved movement zooms out. It looks at the nervous system, the environment, coordination, curiosity, and variability. It respects that the human body is adaptable, not mechanical.
Why This Matters for Our Athletes
Whether you’re sprinting down a field, swinging a golf club, or just trying to get out of pain and back to what you love, movement quality is (almost) everything. Evolved movement challenges the traditional mindset that more reps equal better performance. Instead, it emphasizes:
- Movement exploration over rigid programming
Tissue adaptability through environmental challenges
Improved proprioception and joint control
True transfer from training to performance
I’ve integrated elements of Austin’s teaching into our sessions here at Ascend—especially in return-to-play cases, rotational athletes, and even in our foundational rehab protocols. One of my favorite concepts he introduced: "Don’t just do the drill—be curious within it." That concept has shifted how I cue and challenge athletes during dynamic loading, TRX work, and even basic bodyweight progressions.
The Future of Performance Is Collaborative
This isn’t about tossing out everything you know—it’s about evolving what you do with smarter inputs. At Ascend, we blend sports chiropractic care with research-backed biomechanics and innovative training systems. Learning from professionals like Austin Einhorn fuels that mission. His background in evolutionary movement patterns, motor learning, and dynamic environments aligns perfectly with what we do here: help humans move better and elevate every athlete’s journey.
Whether you're an elite athlete or weekend warrior, we’ll meet you where you're at—and help you evolve into the version of yourself that moves with confidence, fluidity, and control. Curious what evolved movement could look like for you? Let’s explore it together.
