perform better with
pre and post race care bodywork

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, 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
