What is Performance Care?

Athletes from all sports have a heightened sense of their body and how it is functioning.  Many times when you’re training you might feel something that is “Just not right.”  It may not be an injury but it can decrease your performance in your relative sport.

Not sure what it is?  We can help!

By watching you move, either by running gait analysis, cycling, swinging or very simple motions, we can find what type of care will help you accomplish what all athletes want:

•    Performing at a higher level
•    More self-confidence
•    Less chance of injury


How do we use Chiropractic Care & Active Release Techniques® together?

We believe in motion!

Motion is needed in most all joints in the body.

We know joint motion can only be preserved and/ or restored by addressing ALL aspects of the joint.
•    Passive Structures (bones/ligaments)
•    Active Structures (muscles/tendons/fascia)
•    Joint Strength

By using Chiropractic Care and Active Release Techniques® we are able to reach our clients’ goals.


Where does Strengthening and Functional Taping come into play?

After normal joint motion has been restored, the “new” motion must have control and strength.  If your body has “new” motion it has not had in a long time your brain doesn’t know how to control it!  Active Release® and Chiropractic is the perfect way to prepare the muscle for EFFECTIVE strengthening.

Taping is sometimes used to facilitate or inhibit muscular contraction within a movement pattern.  

In other words, if a muscle has a tendency to contract more than normal when running, we want the body to form a “new habit” by facilitating the correct muscles to contract when needed.  The taping helps form this new habit in the beginning stages.
 


How is it possible for P3 Sports Care to fix my injury when nobody else could?

Sometimes you just have to look in the right area…

The overuse aspect of many injuries is caused by something being overworked.  But the big question is WHY is it being overworked?

Many times something is forced to work too hard because something else isn’t working!  We find what the underlying problem is and fix it at the source.

Our doctor is trained in feeling soft tissue adhesions and manually removing them.  Even if you have been stretched or adjusted many times you need something more specific like Active Release Techniques® (ART®).

Active Release is the same treatment used by professional athletes from NFL, NBA, NHL and Ironman Triathlons.  It keeps them training at a high level and can prevent/fix injuries fast.

What to expect during treatment at the P3 Sports Care

When receiving care at our facility, patients should expect a hands-on experience.  Our ART® provides are specially trained to feel muscular tension and scar tissue, which they correct by applying a generous amount of tension in combination with a specific movement of the patient’s body.  Scar tissue is the main cause of pain in majority of the injuries we see. Each session of ART® consists of a mini re-evaluation of the symptoms as well a treatment. 

As stated before, ART® providers can feel abnormal texture within the soft tissues and can effectively treat it with a specific ART® protocol.  These protocols are unique only to ART®.  This treatment process takes about 30 minutes (give or take depending on the condition) and it is usually followed with another therapy modality or movement re-educating exercises targeted at keeping results longer. Many different types of injuries can be completely resolved after about 8-10 treatments, as opposed to the 25 or 30 treatments required at other traditional treatment offices

Although many patients may feel great at this point in their treatment, we strongly encourage them to continue with their rehabilitation and strengthening programs designed here at P3 Sports Care.  Strength training is what will keep the long-term results from the treatment.  We feel strength training and functional taping is a great compliment to Active Release Techniques®. 

Simply put, ART® prepares the muscles for safe and effective strengthening. 

Think about it, what happens if you work out when you’re in pain… the muscles start to spasm and the problem only gets worse.
