What is performance?
Performance refers to the way you accomplish an action or task. In the world of sports and physical fitness, performance is an assessment of your abilities.
When you perform at a high level, you feel vibrant, energetic, and ready to take on the world. But if you suffer from chronic pain, get poor sleep, or fail to warm up before exercising, you might fail to meet expectations or, worse, injure yourself.
Working with the highly trained chiropractor, Dr. Payne, is an easy way to reduce your risk of injury, identify areas for improvement, and learn how nutrition, rest, and stress management affect your performance on the court or playing field.
What does performance counseling look like?
At ProForm Clinics, Dr. Payne regularly works with athletes and other active people to improve their performance and reduce their risk of injury. Dr. Payne tailors performance counseling to each person’s needs, but he typically focuses on three areas:
Nutritional education
Everything you eat affects your energy level, mood, and metabolism. If you want to perform at your highest level, eating a nutritious diet is important. Dr. Payne recommends eating balanced meals featuring fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
You might also benefit from vitamin, mineral, and other supplements. After reviewing your medical history and blood work, Dr. Payne can identify and treat nutritional imbalances and mineral deficiencies.
Exercise guidance
The best athletes train hard, but they also train smart. Dr. Payne works with you to identify parts of your game that are lacking. Then, he can make exercise recommendations that improve your skills while reducing your risk of injury.
Chiropractic adjustments
Your body functions best when it’s optimally aligned. Routine chiropractic adjustments can keep your musculoskeletal system free of pain, allowing you to perform at your highest level.
What are the benefits of performance counseling?
Working with Dr. Payne to improve your athletic performance offers several benefits, including:
