ASSESSMENT

  • 3D Punching and Kicking Analysis
  • Biomechanics & kinematics of punching and kicking mechanics analysis
  • Muscle testing
  • Power & explosiveness testing
  • Baseline concussion assessment
  • Sensory and peripheral focus testing

PREPARE & ENHANCE

12, 24, or 36 sessions’ performance training programs Private Sessions with Sports Physiotherapist, Sports Scientist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Sports Nutritionist and Sports Psychologist

  • strengthen arm
  • Increase velocity
  • Increase endurance
  • Reduce risk of rotator cuff and biceps
  • Reduce risk of lower limb injury
  • Improve movement efficiency
  • Increase rotational inertia
  • Increase punching speed and kick
  • Improve hip mobility
  • Improve eye hand coordination, sensory perception and reaction time via sensory training and neuromuscular training
  • Dynamic Stretching (warm up) and Static Stretching (cool down)Nordic exercise
  • Alfredson exercise and Copenhagen Strengthening exercises
  • Strengthening Training like Copenhagen Strengthening, Nordic Exercise, etc.
  • Adjunct Therapy like Taping, Dry Needling, Cupping
  • Plyometrics
  • Pain modalities like IFT, TENS, etc.

RECOVERY

Recovery Plan :
