What is the perfect athlete?

What is the perfect athlete?

At Dynamic Training & Rehabilitation and through our Bogar Performance program we see a TON of atheletes.  Not just weekend warriors but extreme and hardcore athletes; from Professional Bodybuilders, Powerlifters, Hockey Players, and some extreme sports like Nascar Racing and Rock Climbing, we treat well over 100 athletes on a weekly basis.

Each athlete comes into our facility with the same goal in mind, to be injury free and with the vision of being the best athlete possible.

So, how do you help an athlete become the best? You unlock the potential to gain muscular endurance, strength, and in my opinion, the most important key is to be mechanical efficent and injury free.  Its amazing that one small injury can lead to any athletes downfall, no matter how mentally strong they are.  Being injury free allows for every muscle, tendon and ligament to work as hard as possible leading to amazing results, including major muscle strength and gains.

At BP and DT&R, we follow many Manual Osteopathic Princples and treatment methods to achieve our goal. When an athlete walks into my room, I make sure there are no adhesions and blockages that will prevent stimulation to peripheral tissue.  By doing this, I can make sure my treatments are effective and you will see results immediately.

I will also asses for fascial adhesions and glide, and arterial flow to different tissues. Our tissue needs proper nutrition and flow to repair.

So how do you become the perfect athlete?

Why do I recomend all my athletes/patients use Arnica Tablets?

I am a big believer that therapy and rehab is up to 50% nutrition. We need to heal ourselves from the outside in, and inside out. Our bodies need to be able to accept the change that we are bringing into it.

Recomend supplements and nutritional componants that help with treatment is fish oil, antioxidents and flavonoids, grape seed extract, and lean protein sources.

There is one supplement I recomend everyone of my high endurance athletes take on a daily basis and that is ARNICA TABLETS. If you are one of the many athletes that work with me on a treatment base, than you know the multitude of benefits this product has.

Arnica is made from a yellow daisy-like flower. Arnica has many uses both for internal and external application. For a therapeutic base, we use arnica to control swelling, manage pain, alleviating acute strains and sprains, control scar tissue formation, and decrease bruising after deep tissue and fascial work.

How Does it  work? - arnica stimulates white blood cell activity, which leads into dispurtion of congested blood and trapped fluids from muscles and joints. It also has an anti-bacterial componant.

Arnica is used widely in my practice and within our athletes to help take them to the next level of therapy and performance. We use arnica in conjuction with Foam Rolling and activation dills prior to excercise to alleviate pain, and decrease muscular adhesions.

Alternative Therapies and Muscle Growth: SMFR

If you are reading this blog, you will know of my niche of helping ahtletes perform better and pain free through alternative health care. Focusing on soft tissue work, and an efficent body, we can unlock adhesions allowing strentgh athletes become stronger! At BP, we have an online therapy program that allows athletes from all over the world become exposed to these results. The purpose of this blog is to show how our techniques of SMFR can stimulate muscle growth.

I get the question every day: "how can a therapist or doctor increase muscle growth?"

Simple! - unlocking tissue adhesions in myofascial meridians.

Fascia is a type of tissue found in the body that surrounds every bone, muscle, organ the body. We have general and specific fascial chains. Here, we are focused on the general fascia that surrounds or muscle tissue.

If we have a piece of scar tissue or adhesion the fascia or between the fascia and muscle, the muscle will recieve less stimuli, poor vasular or nutrition, and will create friction, this causing ain and dysfunction.

Utilizing techniques like Graston, SAST, Active Release and foam rolling can break down these adhesions and create a smooth glide between tissues, proper stimuli, bllod flow and lymphatics to the tissue.

Keep posted to this blog and learn more on how alterntive therapy can imporve your perform and decrease pain.



You asked and here it comes:

As of this past week, Eric Daye from TRUBBody Fitness  and myself are putting together a SMFR and Activation series on DVD and online with pictures to help athletes do prep work and therapy correctly. Keep posted for this new series to be released.
