It’s no wonder that boxing and mixed martial arts are tough on the body. Fighters expect – and deliver – pain to their opponents and themselves. The thrill of competition and sense of personal power keep us in the ring. My job is to help you maintain your competitive potential.
Bodywork can help treat these common injuries:
- Dislocations
- Bruising
- Broken bones
- Muscle, tendon, ligament tears
- Strains and sprains
- Cramping
Bodywork can:
Increase flexibility:
By breaking up adhesions, reducing scar tissue, and lengthening muscle tissue, you can maintain and gain flexibility. Flexibility is essential for jui jitsu. It helps with range of motion for getting in and out of submission attempts.
Lymphatic drainage:
By managing the amount of lactic acid and other toxins in your muscles, you can keep your body feeling good. This will allow you to train harder, keep full range of motion, increase flexibility and agility.
Bruise management:
Through the use of anti inflammatory lotions and flushing, you can reduce bruising much quicker.
Injury prevention:
By managing the ongoing health of the fighter, we are able to keep on top of smaller injuries so that they don’t turn into major ones. Also, keeping full range of motion and flexibility can prevent muscle strains and tears.
Injury rehab:
Through the use of manual therapy, supplements, and certain creams, we can reduce scar tissue, regain range of motion and flexibility quicker, manage pain, and get the fighter back quicker.
