Limitations of movement are leading to recurrent injuries, pain, and weakness

Here’s the FACTS:

 

 

  • Healthcare is expensive…
  • 20% of ALL age ER visits were diagnosed as overuse injuries
  • Total cost of more than $450 Million just in ER visits alone
  • A study by AOSSM published in 2021 showed a 50% increase in running injuries in adult runners after covid19
  • 1 in 5 people in the world suffers from healthcare issues due to sedentary lifestyle
  • Research shows significant loss of cardiovascular and muscle function even in elite athletes in as little as 2-4 weeks of sedentary behavior
  • Over 33% of all government healthcare dollars are spent on lifestyle diseases.
  • Currently, sedentary lifestyle is a leading cause of chronic illness worldwide

  • To help you OPTIMIZE YOUR ATHLETIC FOUNDATION
  • SO YOU CAN BECOME YOUR BEST MOVING SELF

Trust Me, I've Been There …  As An Athlete, 

 I Know How It Feels To Be Limited By Injuries, Pain and Lost Playing Time From Injuries 

Your instinct is to work harder, to do more repetitions, to spend more time trying to fix the pain to get yourself back into the game.   

Unfortunately, more often than not this pattern can make the muscles stronger but can also lead to layering strength over a disability and set up motor errors that lead to recurring injuries and pain.

As A Sports Foot and Ankle Surgeon,

 I have seen the  Most Common Lower Extremities Diagnoses over the past 3 decades in sports medicine.

Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, heel pain, shin splints/stress fractures, anterior knee pain, and iliotibial band syndrome, and I will tell you these diagnoses are indiscriminate.

I have treated EVERY walk of life for these issues.  They affect the young and old, from nonathletes to professional athletes. 

But, I have determined WHY most people get these injuries and painful conditions. 

 

AND, almost ALL  are readily correctable without expensive treatments, injections, and surgeries.

What They All Have In Common Is

Issues in the  QUALITY of movement. 
Particularly, how we react to gravity.  
How we move and especially HOW WE LAND.
