Strength & Performance

What does chiropractic care, including sports remedial massage, have to do with strength and athletic performance?

What is strength & performance

With his background in personal training and passion for lifting, Kirill takes a sports oriented approach to chiropractic care, focusing on optimising strength and performance.

Since 1980, athletes at the Olympic Games have relied on chiropractic care, including sports remedial massage, and many major sporting organisations around the world continue to do the same. At the 2013 World Games, athletes who received chiropractic care—featuring sports remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, adjustments, taping, and mobilisation—experienced immediate improvement, with 86% reporting positive results.

Strength & performance are optimised by:

Here’s how chiropractic care, including sports remedial massage, can benefit athletes:

  • Proper mechanics of the spine & joints – this helps prevent tendinopathy and injury, promoting overall joint health and function
  • Pain relief – sports remedial massage can alleviate pain, making it easier to perform at your best without being hindered by pain
  • Improved joint range of motion – enhanced by chiropractic care, this allows the athlete to optimise their lifting position
  • Avoid injury – weightlifting and sports activities place strain on joints, and small issues can be worsened by heavy loads and impact

Additionally, the prescription of exercise to improve strength, movement, and power for specific goals (such as increasing a lift PB, improving a golf swing or beating a track time) requires a knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and pathology. Incorporating sports remedial massage into your routine can further boost your recovery, relieve muscle tension, and keep you prepared for peak performance every time. At Carbon, we combine chiropractic care to help you reach your full athletic potential.
