Erin Donohue | Professional Track Athlete | 2008 Olympics
As a professional track athlete, my career depends on my ability to train and compete. I push my body to its limits, and as a result, I develop tightness and soreness in my legs and lower back. I particularly have problems with my claves, and at times, they have become so tight that I've had to stop running. It's a painful and frustrating injury. But, Todd's Direct Release Myofascial Techniques immediately relieve my locked-up calves so that I can get back to training faster.
Even when I don't have a specific injury, I visit Todd to relieve tightness, maintain good range of motion, and just generally recover faster from hard workouts and races. Todd has an ability to identify and work out small problems before they become big problems. This regular massage is as important to my training and injury prevention as any exercises I do at the gym or track. I'd recommend Todd to any athlete who wants to train consistently and without pain.
Endurance athletes, especially runners, know the effects of gravity better than most. Whether you're racing at the track, a Marathon, Triathlon or running for fitness, every strike of the foot to the pavement sends awesome amounts of force into the body. Just about everyone has experienced the negative effects this can have on calves, shins, hips, hamstrings, back, etc. But, runners aren't the only endurance athletes to experience pain.
The hours in the saddle, required by cyclists in training, can have adverse effects on the body as well. Overtime, the seated position required can cause tightening of the hip flexors which can lead to back issues. The forward head position can also cause unnatural tightening in the back of the neck and upper shoulders.
Then, there's swimming. While swimming is looked upon as a safe and low impact sport, repeated laps can affect the shoulders, hips and backs of some athletes. The proper swimming technique takes the arm and shoulder through a range of motion that can expose problems and cause impingement in some shoulder types.
When body alignment is maintained, forces and movement will distribute evenly throughout the entire body. If imbalances are not prevented or maintained properly, forces will localize and cause trauma in the connective tissues. (muscle, fascia, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone) Pain and tightness signal imbalance.

Fascia - It's Where The Changes Happen
Each one of our muscles is surrounded by a thin membrane of connective tissue called fascia. These membranes serve the same purpose as cartilage does for the bones;

Get Lasting Results
The body has complex relationships in its structure and function. A problem with the feet can translate into an issue in the hips that causes discomfort in the back and so on.
