All athletes experience injuries. However, some struggle to recover from injuries that become chronic and makes them even more prone to new injuries.
Our natural 12-week training schedule brings you back to health.
Perform better and stay healthy.
Pain relief is enough for most people, but athletes expect more than that. For you, pain relief is just a beginning. What you seek is to minimize the potential for future injuries and improve your level of good health to maximize performance.
In this stage we focus on the old injuries and current pain you may have. We use palpation, range of motion testing, and orthopedic examinations to uncover muscle imbalances. By treating these imbalances we set you up to perform better and decrease you risk of training injuries.
Once we have identified and corrected any imbalances, we need to keep you feeling your best while you train. We will use a Traditional Chinese Medicine System to create a personalized diagnosis. Using this diagnosis we will start addressing thing that are decreasing you gains; such as stress, poor sleep, poor digestion, allergies, frequent colds, and more.
You can only train as hard as you can recover. So if you are not recovering properly then you will not see the benefits of all your hard work.
Lastly, after all your hard work, the only thing left to do is get your head on straight. Having a strong mental game is what can make the difference between having a great competition day and a horrible competition day. Towards the end of your Schedule we will focus more on addressing fear and anxiety around completion.
