Sports Wellness and Performance

Attention!!!.. Triathletes, Runners, Cyclists and other Endurance Athletes!!!
Are you as truly fit or as well as you think????

Continued statistics continue to indicate that while most particiapate in these activities with the goal to promote fitness and wellness, it is a significant smaller percentage who participate to compete at the higher level. In either case, studies in sports performance and bio-terrain accessment continue to indicate that those who participate in such activities are continually exposed to: acute local inflamation; oxidative stress and free radical damage; adrenal storm and depletion which create the "Perfect Storm" for a global chronic inflammatory state unless proper mangement of training along with appropriate peripheral care is executed regularily.

By this time at least most individuals have had some exposure or are aware of at least some of the implications in reference to: "adrenal stress (overload or depletion)""chronic inflammation" and /or "oxidative damage"....In short these sub-clinical conditions create a terrain within our bodies which lead to cellular damage and dysfunction. Not only are they associated with the predisposition of conditions which proliferate in the state of inflamation such as: heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer among others chronic conditions but at the earlier sub-clinical stages, performance is detrimentally impacted because of tissue hypoxia(oxygen starvation) leading to an increase decreased ph or increased accidity within the body which interferes with metabolic processes including lowering the aerobic and anaerobic threshold limiting your out-put.

The Global "Tensegrity" of the overall connective tissue matrix of the body is also compromised which continues to proliferate the cycle. (See Blog on "Tensegrity") Ultimately performance continues to deteriorate and chronic health conditions develope unless appropriate strategies are implimented.

This is actually easier than you think if you know what to look for and how to address the issues. There are 7 principle areas that we objectively evaluate and address in an integrated approach.

Connective Tissue "Rigidity" is one of the leading clinical indicators that suseptibility already exists.
