Run Faster, Jump Higher, Recover Quicker

 

 

The desire to run faster, jump higher, recover quicker and increase performance is greater than ever. Sometimes the intensity of our training activities puts added stress on our bodies. When it does, ensuring proper healing and recovery becomes increasingly important.  How would you or your loved ones benefit from gaining a competitive edge over the competition this season? Would you like to set a personal record?

Competitive Edge

If you’re already training hard, eating well, and keeping well-hydrated, that’s great. Yet you may be overlooking the most important aspect of health that is vital to achieving your goals this season.  Having an optimally functioning nervous system is crucial to gaining the competitive edge whether you’re out to win the next match or playing a game of one on one with your child.

The most cutting edge neuroscience and research on the brain is finding that stimulation and nutrition to your brain requires a healthy spine. In Brain Research, Yates describes the importance of proper nervous system function on balance, posture and breathing. Yates writes, “In addition to maintaining stable eye and body position during movement, the vestibular system influences cardiovascular and respiratory control; vestibulosympathetic and vestibulorespiratory reflexes may be important in correcting posturally related disturbances” (1995). In other words, proper posture and nervous system function are directly related to balance, eye movements and control over your breathing pathways.  What athlete wouldn’t want better hand-eye coordination, balance, and ability to take in oxygen during the high demands of sport?  Having a properly functioning nervous system is sure to give you the extra edge on your competition.

Muscles

How would being able to run faster and jump higher give you a competitive advantage? In 2000, Colloca and Keller published a study in JMPT designed to see how a single chiropractic adjustment could impact the strength of muscles.  They found that after a single adjustment, athletes had stronger muscle contractions measured by EMG technology.  By maintaining a healthy nervous system through chiropractic care as part of a healthy lifestyle your muscles will be bigger, faster, and stronger.

One key factor in becoming bigger, stronger and faster is the body’s ability to recover and heal. New research supports that chiropractic adjustments help reduce harmful inflammatory substances without reducing Substance P, a chemical responsible for cell growth and repair.  This study is the first of its kind to support that chiropractic adjustments can help reduce harmful inflammation after grueling workouts while simultaneously boosting the immune system to help the body heal quickly.

Top of Your Game

This sports season, make sure you’re performing at the top of your game. You, too, can run faster, jump higher, recover quicker. Regular chiropractic care as a part of your already healthy lifestyle is sure to help you run faster, jump higher and heal better.  Have your nervous system checked today to increase your function and performance.
