Soft-Tissue Maintenance
Hands-on and self-directed soft-tissue work keeps tissue quality high between hard training sessions, supporting continued performance without the accumulated tightness and restriction that eventually limits an athlete's range of motion and output.
Sessions combine guided soft-tissue techniques with self-directed maintenance tools an athlete can use independently between sessions.
Guided Soft-Tissue Work
Coach-directed techniques target areas of tightness or restriction identified through assessment.
Self-Directed Tools
Athletes learn tools and techniques they can use independently to maintain tissue quality between sessions.
Between-Session Maintenance
This work fills the gap between hard training sessions, supporting continued recovery and readiness.
Sport-Specific Focus Areas
Attention is directed at the tissues most stressed by the athlete's specific sport and training demands.
