• Mindset, and more

Whether you want to recover from injury, reduce the risk of injury, or improve performance, Mark can help you succeed. Call us for a FREE in-person or virtual consultation! We offer flexible hours by appointment.

Our Evaluation Process Includes

• Biomechanics- Biomechanics focuses on how the laws of physics apply to the human body. Learn how to perform based on the laws of physics.
• This will include biomechanical variables in the kinematic sequence: For throwing athletes the focus will be on balance, stride length, timing, hip and shoulder separation, glove stabilization, tracking, release.

• Functional Strength- It refers to the amount of strength required for the athlete to be able to compete at his/her highest level while reducing the incidence of injury during their sport/activity.

• Nutrition / Hydration- They are critical factors for everyone and not specific to athletes to get the most out of our body during sports/exercise/activity etc. Learning how to properly fuel your bodies while staying hydrated is important not only to get the most out of our bodies during sports but for life in general.

• Mindset: Having a positive mindset influences how you think, feel, behave and act or perform in any given situation and helps you perform your best in your sport or activity!
