Recovering from sports injuries, surgery, or any health condition isn’t always simple and straightforward. The human body can easily fall out of balance where problems in one area (pain,weakness,stiffness) can affect other areas.

That’s why you need a professional to test and treat your whole body from head to toe! We are trained in the use of Redcord Suspension System to find and fix any hidden muscles imbalances that prevent you from feeling, moving, and performing at your best.

⭐️Unlock your full potential. DM us for availability on scheduling an initial evaluation.

What is Dry Needling?
by

Dry needling is different from acupuncture, although they both involve the insertion of needles into the skin. Acupuncture is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and involves the insertion of needles into specific meridians throughout the body to balance the flow of energy. Whereas dry needling is based on modern western medical principles and is used to treat specific muscular trigger points.

From Boxing to Breathing: The Many Functions of the Serratus Anterior Muscle

Written by: Dr. Bryan Carestia

What is not so well known in mainstream literature is its role in back pain, neck pain, and respiration. When a muscle as broad as the serratus anterior becomes dysfunctional, many symptoms can arise. The neck may become stiff and painful. The mid-back may have difficulty going into backward bending (extension). The low back may have restrictions going into forward bending (flexion). However, its main culprit may be that the person is simply not breathing optimally. Allow me to explain…

👁THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF WALKING/RUNNING AND LOOKING DOWN👁
We have become accustomed to keeping our eyes down when walking or running or even when we are just chilling on the couch scrolling through IG! Keeping the eyes down has now become hardwired in our brains because of the use of cell phones, laptops, tablets etc. We no longer look up! There are barely any advertisements on billboards anymore since we now see those ads on our phones. Due to covid, we have become much more accustomed to staying indoors and because of pure and utter boredom , we look at our devices like no tomorrow.
Eyes looking down while walking has tremendous neurological consequences that REFLEXIVELY ruin our postures, our muscle tension and even pain levels.
When eyes look down, a portion of the brain called the Midbrain is being activated via 2 nerves located within it called the Occulomotor and the Trochlear Nerve. The nerves are responsible for looking close and down. Once the midbrain is activated for long periods of time with eyes looking down:

• The sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system is kept on high gear. The sympathetic nervous system LIVES or at least STARTS in the midbrain
• Flexor Tone increases giving you rounded shoulders and upper back
• Ruins Upright Posture
• Decreases posterior chain musculature activity: decreased hip extension, altered arm swing
• Increases breathing challenges due to stress on the diaphragm
Imagine now what the after effects of all this can do when you're not running such as stress and anxiety throughout the day, poor sleep quality, poor recovery from training, etc.
So it may be a small detail to you but BIG when it comes to the nervous system and human performance!
Next time you go for a stroll or get a sweat in, LOOK UP!!! Keep those eyes in the horizon!! Breath through your nose ONLY no matter how hard it is, it's a habit that needs to be trained.

By Activcore Co-Founder: Tyler Joyce

As a physical therapist, testing has been ingrained in me since PT school. I learned that the initial evaluation process should involve testing of specific parts of the body, such as the joints, muscles, and nerves. The results of these tests would then play a role in guiding my treatments. Basically it gave me a starting point.

While I knew that assessing was important, I had no idea that it would eventually become a game changer when it comes to clinical outcomes. "Testing and retesting" is something I now do with every client at every session. In fact, I often do it in between every exercise and manual therapy technique administered, so that I can check how the client responds to each intervention. This information is vital to their success.
