perform better with
pre and post race care bodywork
Did you know that increasing your flexibility can increase your power output, making better race results?
Did you know that asymmetries right and left of the body can cause friction, causing pain, injury or DNF???
Increase your performance with preventative body work…
JOINT MOBILIZATION: increase range of motion and power output
Pre-race: limbers tight joints, increases power output, reduces pain
Post-race: relieves pain in overworked areas, recover faster, reduce inflammation
MASSAGE: flush lactic acid and toxins
Pre-race: Increase range of motion and flexibility, loosen tight muscles, flush the muscle tissue of toxins, reduce stress, increases power output, stress relief
Post-race: flush the muscle tissue of excess swelling and lactic acid, reduce recovery time, reduce pain, stress relief
DRY NEEDLING: promote tissue healing, pain relief, increase power output, activate muscles
Pre-race: increase mobility, release “knots”, decrease pain and tension, activate inhibited muscles
Post-race: used with low current electrical stimulation to increase blood flow by 50% and promote tissue healing
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization: is a skilled myofascial intervention used to break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue
Pre-race: increase mobility, decompress “hot spots” and release “knots”, decrease pain and tension
Post-race: increased blood flood, assist with swelling
ASSISTED STRETCHING: increase mobility and flush toxins
Pre racing- assist with restricted muscles, increase range of motion, promote blood flow
Post race- increase blood flow to help heal over worked tissues, promote tissue healing, ease post-race soreness, reduce recovery time
STRETCHABLE or RIGID TAPE: support injured tissue, activate weaker muscles, promote healing
Pre-race- activate inhibited muscles, support of injured tissue, repositioning of soft tissue for pain relief
Post race- increase lymph flow, promote healing, reduce swelling and bruising
BREATHING EXERCISES: better oxygen utilization, faster recovery, increased endurance, increased power
Pre-race: reduce stress, mentally prepare, improve immunity, increase endorphins levels (the happy hormone), improve sleep, increase oxygen to improve race performance
Post-race: reduce inflammatory markers like C-Reactive Protein that suppresses our immune system, increase oxygen to increase recovery time, improve sleep
PELVIS ALIGNMENT: ultimate injury prevention, relieve muscle and joint tension, increase power through balance
Pre-race: balance the “core” to prevent injury to knees, back, hips and neck
Post-race: decrease tension on pelvis that causes pain and reduced blood flow
