Natural Performance Enhancement

As the body is worked harder and harder in training and competition, it activates a self-protection mechanism which effectively contracts or shortens the muscles most affected. These 'contractures' can actually be felt within the muscle itself and can very quickly become the source of tendonitis and, if left untreated, soft tissue sprains, strains and tears.

By receiving regular ISDN treatments these contractures can be eliminated and stress on the athlete's musculoskeletal system can be relieved.

Aside from causing muscle shortening and pain the physiological mechanism of a contracture tends to cause issues with micro-circulation within the muscles. This leads to an energy crisis in the muscle as, firstly, it is not being adequately oxygenated and secondly, metabolic toxins are building up within the muscle itself. Energy crises in the muscles inevitably cause early-onset fatigue in an athlete who otherwise could last for longer or perform to a higher standard.

Regular ISDN treatments deal with the contractures and return micro-circulation to an efficient level.

What this effectively means for an athlete is that regular treatment can and should:

• allow the athlete to perform for longer in both training and competition
• allow the athlete to perform to a higher level than if they have contractures and micro-circulation issues
• potentially lengthen the career of the athlete in the long term
