Care
How do you fuel? Your body is like a machine and it is important to support your body's improvement with the best nutrition.
Why does it matter?
Proper Healing leads to better performance.
The importance of successful performances in athletics have led athletes and coaches to continually seek any advantage that may improve performance. The proper time and training dedicated to specific muscle groups and strengthening your overall play will lead you to enhanced skills both in play and in work.
Adequate recovery has been shown to result in the restoration of physiological and psychological processes, so that the athlete can compete or train again at an appropriate level. Recovery from training and competition is complex and typically dependent on the nature of the exercise performed and any other outside stressors.
How Do Athletes Heal Best?
By combining natural methods with modern medical advances, professional athletes can support and accelerate their healing processes, enabling them to get back to their peak performance levels safely.

Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves brief exposure to extremely cold temperatures, often in a specialized chamber cooled to around -200°F.
Benefits: Reduces muscle soreness, inflammation, and swelling by constricting blood vessels, which also enhances recovery and alleviates joint pain.
-
Process: Athletes spend 2-4 minutes in a chamber cooled to about -200°F. The intense cold constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammation, and upon exiting, blood rushes back into the muscles, enhancing healing.
-
Example: NBA players often use cryotherapy post-game to reduce muscle soreness and prevent inflammation from rigorous physical activity.
Massage Therapy
Using a variety of massage techniques, massage therapy focuses on manipulating soft tissues and relieving muscle tightness.
Benefits: Improves blood circulation, releases muscle tension, and helps to break down scar tissue to restore movement and reduce pain.
-
A therapist uses various techniques, such as kneading or long strokes, to target specific muscle groups. Massage Therapy Sessions typically last 30-90 minutes.
-
Olympic athletes receive sports massages post-training to speed recovery and maintain muscle flexibility.
Accupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at specific points in the body to stimulate healing, while dry needling targets muscle knots or trigger points.
Benefits: Releases tension, reduces pain, and promotes the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow to specific areas.
-
A trained acupuncturist places needles into targeted points to promote blood flow and release endorphins. Sessions are usually around 30-60 minutes.
-
Gymnasts use acupuncture to alleviate back pain and aid in muscle recovery after intense routines.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses thin needles to target muscle knots, also known as trigger points, to release tension.
Benefits: Releases tension, reduces pain, and promotes the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow to specific areas.
-
Needles are inserted into trigger points within the muscle, causing a twitch response that relaxes the muscle and decreases pain.
-
Professional cyclists use dry needling on their hamstrings and quads to relieve tension after long rides.
What Is MAT (Muscle Activation Therapy)?
Muscle Activation Therapy is a unique kind of strengthening and therapy program. It focuses on three main factors:
-
Assessing and correcting muscular imbalances, joint instability, and mobility challenges.
-
Using non-invasive techniques that are appropriate for all ages. (Yes the active youth in your life can also benefit from MAT)
-
Maximizing muscle efficiency
During a MAT Session a trained and certified MAT specialist will be evaluating your muscle capabilities, range of motion, and will be focusing on the areas that are causing tightness and weakness.
A muscle activation therapist will apply pressure to help restore your muscles to full capacity. You may also be given exercises that are targeted to strengthen weak muscles or imbalances.
Benefits of MAT
You don’t have to be a serious athlete to get the benefit from MAT. Even if you’re just a recreational runner or you’re in recovery from a hard fall, or past injury there’s a place for you in the muscle activation therapy world for you. Here are 5 distinct benefits of the program.
Works With the Body, Not Against It
Unlike other types of exercise or applications that try to relax your muscles (foam rolling, heat) MAT focuses on working with your muscles. This leaves room for actually working on your muscles’ ability to contract.
Pinpoints Weaknesses
Muscle tightness is often actually a result of weakness. MAT therapy is all about working on the weak points to ease tightness and restore strength.
Corrects Imbalances
When we have a weak muscle, our bodies naturally compensate for that weakness. That means we may favor one side or one leg.
Muscle activation therapy helps correct those tendencies with different kinds of treatments to improve alignment and overall muscle balance.
Focuses on Muscle Activation and the Nervous System
MAT focuses on making improvements to the way muscles contract. And that means working with the nervous system to restore those signals that should fire from the brain to your muscles.
Creates Muscle Stability
As you improve the muscle activation in your body, you also gain improved range of motion. That results in more strength and performance power for exercise and daily activities.
Another considerable benefit of MAT is that it’s never the same program. Each time you work with your MAT therapist, he or she will make changes as your muscles respond to the therapy.
