DYNAMIC MUSCLE MAPPING MUSCLE SCAN ANALYSIS
Dynamic muscle mapping is the first step in human analysis testing to determine what percentage of muscle fiber is actively connected to your brain's neurological system. The human body contains over 47 miles of neurological pathways connecting your brain to every part of every muscle fiber in your body. When parts of the muscle are not active for periods of time these pathways go dormant or shut down.
​
FULL BODY MUSCLE RE-EDUCATION & ACTIVATION STIMULATION
Muscle activation or muscle re-education is the process of re-establishing dormant neurological pathway connections to existing muscle fiber. Using electrical muscle stimulation we are able connect more active muscle fiber efficiently to the brain. By activating muscle fibers while under electrical muscle stimulation we are able to establish more connections and recruit more muscle fiber to actively participate in training and competition.

This gives us a entirely new insight into the athlete's body.
​
INJURY PREDICTION & PREVENTION ANALYSIS
The greatest predictor of any injury is actually the same, regardless of the sport, gender, or location. It is the recurrence rate, the probability that such an injury occurs again. Injury prevention exercises help build the strength and body control so the athlete is able to sustain the repetitive loads and avoid extraneous or aberrant movements that lead to injuries. There is no exact science to prevent every injury, but some are predictable.
