“You have power over your mind, not outside events.
- Marcus Aurelius
That moment where your body reacts perfectly for you without even thinking about it - this is the recipe for elite performance.
Elite athletes face rigorous physical challenges, push their body to its capacity, not unlike fighting in battle, activating all the same neurological and physiological responses, and must adapt when life throws unexpected curveballs. However, the human body possesses an extraordinary innate ability to respond, heal and recover. Regardless of the type or level of injury - physical, mental or chemical - the body embarks on a healing journey while still serving you in all you ask of it daily. The path to recovery and the sustainability of our healing is profoundly influenced by how we nurture our bodies and minds during this crucial time.
This is where customized Functional Medicine & Regenerative Fitness comes in. It is the key to unlocking your body's full performance and recovery potential! Our bodies are dynamic and changing with our environment all the time - sometimes our care for them needs to change just as dynamically to support the healing phase our body is in. Whether body’s stress burden stems from the intensity of athletic pursuits, the demands of daily life, or a blend, genuine recovery surpasses merely strengthening the injured area. It involves fostering the body’s focus on certain functions at a time, recalibrating neurological inputs, optimizing biochemical states, balancing organ recovery and realigning structural fibers to support the body's regeneration and functionality.
Your personal needs differ from your team mates’ which is why Dr. Smith specializes in customized care plans and coaches you on how to tap into your intuition to biohack your physiology using different recovery tools so you can make the best choices for your body in the moment. She also offers day rates where she will travel to where you are and provide unlimited body work, functional movement analysis, soft tissue work, neuromuscular re-education, neurological integration and environmental optimization (removing toxin exposure and replacing with better options) as a major boost for recovery and self-sustainable optimization programs. We run comprehensive functional lab work, or review and explain pre-existing lab work, to fine tune your current recovery and lifestyle approach while teaching you along the way and making sure you have a thorough understanding of how your unique body works and its needs.
You will learn how your unique body speaks to you, how to utilize and rotate the recovery and support tools in your quiver based on what your body is doing in the moment. This creates a sustainable, progressive path ensuring you reach your athletic endeavors with unwavering passion and vitality!
“An injury is not just a process of recovery, it is a process of discovery.”
