Athletes

Athletes are always searching for the edge: to be quicker or faster, to have better balance or coordination, to increase endurance or strength. Many athletes also seek to avoid the injuries common in high-performance activities. The Dynamic Balance approach to Therapeutic Physical Care will help you strive toward both goals: better performance and reduced risk for injury.

The fallacy of “No pain, no gain.”

The quest for improved performance is challenging. Athletes at the top of their sport know they have to endure some pain to attain the performance goals they seek. But the “No pain, no gain” mantra leads many performance-focused athletes to believe that sore joints and hurting parts are inevitable. At Dynamic Balance, we maintain that lingering chronic pain and soreness do not come hand-in-hand with efforts to improve performance. The secret is improved physical hygiene.

At some point in their lives, athletes will contend with injuries of one sort or another. Many of these injuries relate to poor physical hygiene. Subtle distortions in biomechanics and the resulting wear and tear created by these aberrant kinetic patterns greatly increase your risk for pain and injury. The Dynamic Balance approach promotes good physical hygiene by retraining movement patterns to eliminate distortions and bad habits. The key to this process is found in the Manual Therapy Triad: foundational strength, intensive stretching, and tissue manipulation.

Peak performance

The aberrant kinetic patterns that increase your risk for injury also impact your performance. With a program custom-built to your sport or activity, you can improve musculoskeletal alignment, balance, and endurance. Not only will your sport-specific abilities immediately improve, you will also see continuing progress in proportion to your commitment.

Fundamental to the Dynamic Balance approach is to account for individual differences; we know that no single system works for everyone.

It is important to seek multiple opinions to inform your understanding of complex topics, such as therapeutic physical care.  If our materials don't work for you, please let us know. But just as importantly, read what others have to say and seek help near home.
