Athletic Regeneration
Before you train, after you train…Take care of your body.
As an athlete trains day-in and day-out, specific regeneration components are crucial to maximizing training results. Prior to training we conduct a comprehensive biomechanical assessment that identifies movement patterns, past injuries, areas of weakness and imbalance that ultimately lead to injury and/or poor overall performance if left unaddressed. The assessment is the basis of building a program specific to an individual athlete’s needs and ensures that the body is working in harmony towards optimum performance while reducing the potential for injury.
Post training regeneration is critical to enhancing the body’s ability to repair and recover. This is accomplished through a multitude of methods including deep tissue sports massage, dynamic warm-ups, active recovery, manual manipulation, and hot/cold contrasts – all aimed at rebuilding and rejuvenating the body to allow athletes to continue to train and perform, all the while reducing the potential for injury.
At the IMG Performance Institute the Athletic Regeneration Program combines the expertise of our Sports Medicine Center, athletic training staff, performance specialists and our new full service Wellness Center & Spa to ensure that every athletes needs are met – and all are located on the IMG Academies campus for your convenience.
