Athletes constantly seek ways to optimize performance, recover efficiently, and reduce the likelihood of injury. Dr. Alek Gallegos, Performance Therapist at Athlete Ready, integrates performance therapy with Naprapathic Medicine into his approach to ensure athletes achieve peak performance while minimizing pain and dysfunction.
What is Performance Therapy?
Naprapathic Medicine is a form of manual therapy focused on diagnosing and treating connective tissue dysfunctions, including issues in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Unlike conventional treatments that often target symptoms, performance therapy addresses the root cause of movement imbalances and pain. Dr. Gallegos employs hands-on techniques such as manual manipulation, myofascial release, and targeted stretching to restore function and enhance movement quality.
